MRY is the closest airport, but it is regional (small). It is 3 miles from the center of town. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH (MTY) which is Monterrey, Mexico. It is serviced by Major carriers: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines & United Airlines. Book directly with the airline or use sites like Expedia.com, Travelocity.com or Kayak.com. MRY is also serviced by Allegiant air. Allegiant offers many a-la-carte services you can add to your travel itinerary for a fee. Fees are per person, per segment, or both. A segment is one take-off and one landing. Be sure you understand all of their fees before booking! What seems cheap can easily get expensive. Also serviced by JSX, which is a hop on service. Hop-on service from Orange County and Burbank with daily round-trip flights on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. Tickets start at $199 each way and are available for booking today at jsx.com.

SJC is the next closest airport, at 76 miles away. If you'd like to take the scenic route and rent a car, you could fly into SJC, however consider that CA traffic may turn an estimated 1h 15 min into a longer ride. Use any of the major travel sites to book (Kayak, Travelocity, Expedia). Southwest Airlines flys into SJC, but not MRY. The Car Rental Center is easily accessible across the street from baggage claim.
Hotel
There is no hotel connected to the venue, but there are many hotels of varying quality and price on the Monterey Peninsula. We recommend staying in Monterey, Pacific Grove or Carmel-By-The-Sea. Wedding Wire set up a hotel booking page for us with specially negotiated rates which you can get to by clicking "View" below. No special code needed. We also recommend utilizing sites like Google.com (has a map search, easy), Expedia.com, Kayak.com or Travelocity.com for your search. Sometimes you can find better prices by booking directly with the hotel. We haven't vetted any of the hotels out, please do your research and read reviews!
House Or Rental
Similar to Air BnB, Vrbo lists vacation rentals, where you get the place to yourself. We recommend locations in Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel-by-the-Sea. We noticed there is a lot of crossover between Air BnB and Vrbo and often Vrbo prices are cheaper for the same rental. If you can somehow figure out the address of your rental and contact the owner directly, they will sometimes cut you a break.
House Or Rental
Air B&B is a vacation rental option if you are looking for something other than a hotel. They offer shared spaces, guest houses and entire homes. There are many close by in Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel-By-The-Sea. If you can manage to figure out the address, and contact the owner directly, they might cut you a deal.
