Flight
The closest airport is San Jose (SJC), but San Francisco (SFO) is also an option.
Rental Car
For our out-of-town guests, a rental car is encouraged. The venue is approximately 1 hour from San Jose airport (1.5 - 2hr from San Francisco), and not easily accessible via public transportation. Plenty of on-site parking both at hotels and at the wedding venue.
Hotel
Because our wedding is at a vineyard, the location is somewhat remote. Therefore, we recommend staying in the Campbell/San Jose area near the airport in order to take advantage of the area prior to the wedding event itself. A rental car is encouraged, and overnight parking is available at the hotel (one complimentary spot per room), AND at the wedding venue (complimentary). Unfortunately no shuttle service is available to/from the airport, the hotel, or the venue. Book through the link under "Discount Code" to get our group rate.

Hotel
This quaint, mission-style Hacienda is located just minutes from the venue in Hollister. Free overnight parking is available both at this hotel AND the venue down the road. This is perfect for those who want a quiet and remote getaway, but be warned: THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN SAN JUAN BAUTISTA or HOLLISTER during the day. If you're looking for more action, try one of the hotels in Campbell/San Jose. But if you're looking for convenience and close proximity to the wedding venue, this is your place!

Hotel
Similar to the Marriott, this hotel is a great option for those from out of town who want to spend some time near the sights and action prior to the wedding. Complimentary on-site parking available for that rental car, and complimentary parking at the wedding venue (which is approximately 50-60min drive).
Discount Code - BTW
Travel Note
We have listed here the hotels where we have secured a slightly discounted rate for our guests. These were chosen for a) proximity to the wedding venue OR b) proximity to airport and "things to do." Unfortunately there will not be any shuttle to/from the hotels/venue, so please feel free to secure other lodging in the area if you prefer. The wedding venue is approximately 40-45 minutes from Pajaro Dunes or Moss Landing, if you prefer a beach rental. The venue is approximately 60 minutes from Santa Cruz (the bride's home town) if you prefer a hip/hippie beach rental. We are honored that you will join us for this celebration. For many, it is a long/difficult journey, and we are humbled that you would make the trip in order to be with us. We hope that our wedding feels like WE are throwing a party for YOU, our friends and family, to come share our joy. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can help make the trip better in any way!
