Accommodations

The Wedding Website of Melissa Beach and David Raichart
We highly recommend guests enjoying a stay in the beautiful cabins at the Waterfall Lodge on the day of the wedding. For those interested in joining us for the weekend prior on Sept 29th, Sept 30th or for the Welcome event on Oct 1st, the exact location of our rental at Capitola Beach is provided. There are a lot of wonderful options right near by! There will only be a handful of parking spots available at the venue for those not staying at the Waterfall Lodge. Carpooling is encouraged.

These cabins will only be available the night of October 2nd. Check in will be at 1pm. Please be sure you leave enough time to check-in and get ready prior to the ceremony that will begin at 2:30pm.

House Or Rental

Capitola Rentals & Hotels

For the Capitola weekend celebration prior to the wedding, we rented an Airbnb near the wharf on Capitola Beach for the evening of September 29th, 30th & Oct 1st. The address is 4980 Cliff Drive, Capitola, CA, 95010. There are a lot of places to stay near by whether it be a hotel, Airbnb, Vrbo, and other houses through various rental properties which often have special promotions and best pricing. With this location being a 30-minute drive away from the wedding venue and with Ubers being scarce, we recommend transferring to the Waterfall Lodge & Retreat's for the night of October 2nd.

Travel Note

Flying in

For those visiting out of the area, we recommend flying into the San José Mineta International Airport. Rentals cars are readily available. The drive is about 1.5 hours from the airport to Ben Lomond or Capitola. Flying in from the San Francisco International Airport will add an additional 30 minutes of driving.
