We have a hotel block with the Best Western Plus Marina Shores in Dana Point.
The hotel is approximately 25 minutes from the venue.
Please contact the hotel directly using the block name "Ripplinger Wedding" to get rates and assistance with booking - the couple is not responsible for your accommodations.
The couple is providing a shuttle from the hotel for any attendees staying there, or not, that would like a ride up to the venue. Please scroll below to see the details.
If you need to park at the venue, there will be transportation assistance to get you up and down the hill. Please note you will not have an "easy walk" to your vehicle, so make sure you grab what you need before leaving your car. We also don't recommend a fresh car wash prior to the wedding... you will be driving up a dirt and gravel road to reach the venue, so there will be dust!

We will be providing a shuttle from the Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel for any Guests attending our big day, regardless if they are staying at the hotel or not. Be advised that there is no additional parking at the Best Western, so we recommend you Uber there. To ensure guests arrive on time, the pre-ceremony shuttles will run at 1:30, 2:00, and 3:00pm. Shuttles will run the entire evening until 10pm, with the last shuttle leaving from the venue to drop off any remaining guests back at the hotel. Max shuttle capacity is 15 people.
