Travel Recommendations

We're so excited to have you out to our wedding in the beautiful mountains of Santa Cruz, and we want you to have most convenient travel experience possible! The venue is remote so we've prepared some travel suggestions and arrangements to help you get settled.

There are two airports convenient to the wedding venue, one in San Jose and one in San Francisco. See the information below for room block arrangements for the cheapest rates near the airports as well as other travel tips.

San Francisco

Airport

Fly into San Francisco International Airport (SFO). This option is generally the cheapest but is also the furthest from the wedding venue.

You'll be arriving to San José Mineta International Airport (SJC). This airport is significantly closer to the wedding venue, but may be more expensive depending on your home airport.
