Accomodations
Hotel
Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, Autograph Collection
This is where the bride and groom will be staying night after the wedding. San Juan Capistrano (SJC) is having their annual Swallows Day Parade Saturday, March 21, 2026. If you wanted to stay here (or anywhere in SJC), please book your room as soon as possible!
Hotel
Casablanca Inn
If you are looking for the most convenient location for the wedding, you'll want to stay here. It is walking distance to our favorite brewery, Los Molinos, and a few other eateries. Also a great location for a walk along San Clemente's beach trail. Best of all, the nightly rates are a steal! Rooms are limited here, so book them as soon as you can!
Hotel
Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa
Even though Jake is no longer the first to greet you at the valet, this is a great option if you want to treat yourself. It is the most versatile location depending on if you want a fun packed weekend adventuring Dana Point, San Clemente or San Juan Capistrano, or all three, or you aren't sure yet. The hotel is walking distance to Dana Point, where you can go on a walk through the harbor, shop, dine, etc.
Hotel
Casa Tropicana
If you are interested in getting the most immersive San Clemente experience, this is our suggestion. It is located in the pier bowl, so you can walk the beach trail, (where we walk almost every weekend), grab some food at Fisherman's Restaurant, explore Del Mar (downtown) for shopping and more restaurants, you can literally walk to the water and swim in the ocean or plan a fun beach day.

OTHER OPTIONS TO CONSIDER
It is worth checking out AirBnB, VACASA or VRBO, especially for larger groups. If you are feeling a little outdoorsy, look for campsites at Doheny State Beach.
