Flight
Quick and cheapest flights to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport because that’s a hub for Southwest! Two checked bags for FREE! They often have cheap fare sales throughout the year so check back often.
Travel Note
No need for a rental car? Try Uber or Lyft! Very convenient and easy to get around all of the greater Phoenix area! From the Phoenix International Sky Harbor Airport, our wedding venue is about 40 minutes by car.
House Or Rental
If you're interested in having a cozier stay and really taking a vacation for the weekend, check out the abundance of rentals in the area! We suggest utilizing the two search engines, VRBO and AirBnB, as they have the best filters for what you need/want in your stay. Almost every rental has a POOL! Check the nearby areas of Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, and East Mesa.
Hotel
Check out this hotel that is the closest to the transportation site for our wedding in the desert. Room rates are the best through hotels.com or other third-party sites!
Travel Note
Wherever you choose to stay, map the distance and location to the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church, where there will be a shuttle to take you to and from the wedding site! We are literally getting married in the middle of the desert, so we recommend hitching a ride with the company's transportation in order to not dust up your rental car! :) Pick up for the wedding will be 2:00 pm Saturday! Please be prompt; they will not come back!
Rental Car
If you have a Costco membership, use that for renting a car through the Phoenix airport! It will find the cheapest company and give you a variety of cars to choose from. All the companies are right at the airport! If that doesn’t work, there are many off-site locations as well.
Hotel
Call the hotel directly to reserve a room under “Smith/Randall wedding party” to get a 10% discount for 11/9 and 11/10 stays. It is seven miles from the church where the transportation will be to/from the venue. Book early as the rates will increase as the date gets closer!
Hotel
This hotel is 13 miles away from the church, but has a slightly cheaper nightly rate. Evening social with complimentary light dinner and drinks is offered for guests at this location.
