Question

Question

🕒 What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 4:30 PM to allow enough time for parking and finding your seat before the ceremony begins.

Question

🛬 What’s the best way to get to Manteca?

Answer

Manteca sits in the heart of California’s Central Valley, about 75–90 minutes from Sacramento and San Francisco. Most guests fly into Sacramento International Airport (SMF) or San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and rent a car or use a ride service. Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) is just 10 miles (about 15 minutes) from Manteca, this is the closest airport. It tends to have fewer flights but is the most convenient if available.

Question

🚗 Is there parking available?

Answer

Yes, free parking is available for guests. On-Site Lot (Behind The Veranda): Spaces are available directly behind the venue, with access from S Grant Ave. • Shared Lot (Next to Bank of America): The large lot next to The Veranda and Bank of America is available for guests — it’s essentially the same lot, so you’ll be just steps from the entrance. • Additional Nearby Parking: Extra spaces can be found across the street at Valley Strong. Street parking is also available along E Yosemite Ave and S Grant Ave.
