Flight
OAK is the closest airport to Benicia. Without traffic, it's a 45 minute drive or Uber/Lyft to downtown Benicia. We recommend flying into this airport if you're able and either renting a car or taking an Uber/Lyft to get to Benicia.
Flight
SFO is an hour Uber/Lyft or drive to Benicia without traffic, but if you're traveling during rush hour on Friday, you're likely to hit heavy traffic on the Bay Bridge. You can avoid traffic by taking BART from SFO to Pleasant Hill BART (1 hr 9 minutes), and from there a ~20 minute Uber/Lyft to Benicia or a 1-mile walk/drive to the Enterprise Rent-a-Car in Walnut Creek.
Hotel
The Union Hotel is in the heart of downtown Benicia, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and shopping. The hotel has been around since the Gold Rush, and is allegedly haunted. We have reserved all 12 rooms in the hotel for our wedding weekend. You can see photos and rates for the rooms on the hotel's website linked below. In order to book a room, you must call (707) 746-0110 and say you are looking to book a room for "Allie & Kyle's Wedding - Dennis" and the hotel concierge will assist you and let you know which rooms are still available. Rooms will only be held until June 19, 2024.
Hotel
The Holiday Inn Express Benicia offers more modern (but perhaps less charming and/or haunted) accommodations than The Union Hotel. It's about a mile from the venue and from downtown Benicia. We have a block of rooms held at a discounted rate. To book using our discount, click "view" below. If the link doesn’t work, that means the block is full. However, if you call using the phone number above by June 19th, 2024 and tell them you are part of the "Kyle & Allie Wedding", they will honor the discount as long as rooms are still available.
Hotel
Best Western is another great local option. It's walking distance from Downtown Benicia, 1.5 miles from our wedding venue, and has a pool! We have a block of rooms held at a discounted rate. To book using our discount, click "view" below. If the link doesn’t work, that means the block is full. However, if you call using the phone number above by June 19th, 2024 and tell them you are part of "Allie & Kyle's Wedding Block", they will honor the discount as long as rooms are still available.
House Or Rental
There are lots of great places to stay near our venue. Benicia, Martinez, Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek all have plenty of great Airbnbs and hotels. Berkeley, Oakland, and Napa are a little farther out, but still within a 30-40 minute drive. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding accommodations/locations and we are more than happy to help!
Travel Note
Because Benicia is a bit outside of the bustling inner Bay and 20 minutes from the closest BART station, the easiest way to get around is by car. If you are staying in one of our hotel blocks and don't plan on leaving Benicia during your visit, you can probably get away with a few Uber/Lyfts and some walking. If you plan to stay outside of our hotel block or go exploring outside Benicia, a rental car is probably your best bet, as Ubers/Lyfts can be pricier and harder to come by at night.
