We would recommend staying in the town of Napa! There are lots of smaller boutique and specialty hotels to enjoy along with plenty of airbnb options. September is peak season in the valley, so we strongly recommend booking travel and lodging early.
The San Francisco airport is the best and closest option for major airlines.
Children are invited to the welcome party, reception, and brunch! However, due to the length of the ceremony, we request that young children (10 and below) not attend. We are working with a local babysitter group to provide an on-site option for during the ceremony. If you anticipate bringing children, please let us know at will.hodge6@gmail.com so that we can get a better sense of how many will be attending.
