Travel
Flight
Santa Ana/John Wayne Airport (SNA)
SNA is the closest and easiest airport to travel to for the wedding. We live about a mile away, and it's 20 minutes from the venue.
Flight
Long Beach Airport (LGB)
LGB is a small, hidden gem of an airport. It is about 25 minutes from our home and 45 minutes from the wedding venue.
Flight
Los Angeles Airport (LAX)
LAX is about a 1.5 hour drive from the wedding venue and an hour from our home... without traffic. However, LAX offers more direct flights and sometimes cheaper airfare.
Hotel
Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, Autograph Collection
This hotel is less than a mile from the wedding venue. There are tons of amazing restaurants all around. We highly recommend the Michelin-recognized, Heritage Barbecue across the street or Ramos House Cafe for a wonderful brunch experience. Don't forget to check out the new food collective, The River Street Marketplace a couple of blocks away.
