For guests flying in, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the preferred airport due to its convenience and wide range of flight options.

Long Beach Airport (LGB) is also nearby if you prefer a smaller, less busy option. Both airports are within easy driving distance of our wedding venue, and we recommend checking both for flight availability and rates.

We have listed a couple hotels that may be possible options for guests who may be coming into town. Feel free to reach out to the following and see which one is the best option for you, or find any place to stay!

Welcome to Holiday Inn Express & Suites in the vibrant city of Hawaiian Gardens, California. Our hotel is designed to offer a serene and inviting atmosphere by providing guests with a perfect blend of comfort and relaxation.

Pamper yourself at Long Beach’s top rated lifestyle boutique hotel. Your Southern California headquarters, The Cove Hotel is conveniently located near Long Beach Cruise Terminal and an easy drive or Metro ride to your favorite SoCal attractions!

If you're looking for accommodations near the wedding venue, the South Bay area offers a variety of Airbnb options, providing a comfortable and convenient stay.

Cities like Carson (10 miles), Cerritos (15 miles), Bellflower (12 miles), and other neighboring areas are great choices, offering both proximity to the venue and scenic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Long Beach is the best option with plenty of charming and affordable rentals that are close to the venue. We recommend checking Airbnb for availability and booking early to secure the best spots!

Cost: Admission is free, but reservations are required at this time.
Beautiful lush gardens, modern architecture, amazing city views, and centuries worth of art to explore. If you have a day to spend, I highly recommend visiting the Getty Center, or the Getty Villa Museum located in Malibu which features Greek and Roman antiquities displayed throughout a stunningly recreated Roman-style country home.

Griffith Observatory offers breathtaking views of the city and the iconic Hollywood sign, as well as exhibits about space and science. The park itself is perfect for hiking.

These beaches are perfect for a relaxing  or romantic beach day. Visitors can explore the pier, boutique shops, and vibrant downtown area filled with restaurants and cafes.

You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a little piece of Europe at this luxury outdoor mall featuring some of the world’s most iconic high-end designers and restaurants.

If you’re looking for some fun at one of SoCal’s iconic spots, Santa Monica pier might be just the spot for you. The pier is a national historic landmark that’s been around since 1909 and has since been reimagined as a fun place to enjoy a variety of fun activities, carnival games, rides, vendor carts, and tasty bites! During one of our last visits, we enjoyed stopping in at Rusty’s for a quick bite, great beers and a chill atmosphere. Afterwards, we shared a delicious strawberry shake from Pier Burger – yum!

Its Valentine's Day, can I bring a +1?
