Flight

San Jose Airport (SJC)

San Jose Airport is the closest airport to the venue, approximately a 50 minute drive (without traffic). It's a small airport, easy to get in and out of. However, the prices may be slightly higher depending on where you're traveling from.

Flight

San Francisco Airport (SFO)

San Francisco Airport is the second best option. It will take approximately an hour and 15 minutes to drive to the venue. SFO is a larger international airport with more flight options, and potentially more affordable.

Flight

Oakland Airport (OAK)

Oakland Airport is the furthest from the venue, approximately an hour and 30 minute drive (with likely the more traffic). However, this airport is also smaller and easy to get in and out of. Flight prices and availability from this airport are also varying, depending on where you're traveling from.

Hotel

Brookdale Lodge

The Brookdale Lodge is a funky historic hotel, located about 10 minutes up the road from our Wedding Venue. This is where we will be hosting our after party on Saturday, shortly after our wedding reception. That being said, it may be a noisy hotel...so if you'd like to get a good nights sleep then this hotel might not be for you ;) However, all are still welcome to the after party! We have a hotel block from Friday 10/18-Sunday 10/20. You can book 1 or 2 nights by calling the hotel and tell them you're booking for "Lindsay and Mike's Wedding." For a King room it will cost $209/night, and a double full room is $219/night. You can book and reserve now, payment is due upon check in. We will be providing shuttle transportation to and from this hotel for the Wedding day.

Hotel

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

The Hilton is located about 15-20 minutes away from our venue. We plan to make this one of our other official hotel locations where we will also be providing transportation to and from the wedding venue. However, we do not have an official hotel block at the Hilton (they were unfortunately making it very complicated to do so). The prices for this hotel fluctuate based on availability. Additionally you may be able to book one night or they may require a two night minimum stay (this also fluctuates on availability). If you're interested in staying here, we would recommend calling sooner rather than later.

Travel Note

Other Hotels/Airbnbs

If you'd like to stay somewhere else, there are plenty of other alternatives in the area, including hotels and Airbnbs/Vrbo. The venue itself is in Ben Lomond which is a small town without many hotels. The closest neighboring town with other options is Scotts Valley (15-20 minutes). With even more options, and closer to the ocean, is Santa Cruz (25-30 minutes). Capitola, Aptos, and Seacliff are some other cute beach towns to stay in, but furthest from the venue (30-45 minutes).
