John Wayne Airport
If you're looking for a slightly more convenient option, John Wayne Airport (SNA) is about a 20-25 minute drive from the venue. While flights here can be a bit more expensive, it’s a great choice for ease and proximity.
The airport offers plenty of car rental options right on-site, or if you're looking for something a bit different, we recommend renting through Turo. Turo rentals are often conveniently parked in the self-parking lot, making pick-up and drop-off quick and simple so you can be on your way to the celebration in no time!
Long Beach Airport
Long Beach Airport (LGB) is another great option for those seeking more affordable flights. It’s still quite convenient, with just a 40-minute drive to the venue.
Ontario International Airport
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is a small, quiet airport that offers a more relaxed experience compared to LAX. It’s a convenient alternative, with shorter lines and a more peaceful atmosphere, making your travel experience much easier and stress-free. With about a 30- 45 minute drive to our venue dependent on traffic.
Los Angeles International Airport
While LAX is usually the most affordable airport to fly into, it comes with the challenge of navigating LA’s infamous traffic. If you plan your travel to avoid rush hour, the drive to our venue is typically a smooth 50-60 minutes. However, be aware that getting an Uber/Lyft or renting a car can sometimes be a bit trickier from here. If you fly into LAX we suggest hopping on a bus to a hotel close by and grabbing an uber from there.
Ayres Suites Mission Viejo - Lake Forest
The closest and more affordable hotel to the venue is just off the 241 freeway, making it super easy to get around. Plus, it’s just a short distance from some great local spots, like Piccolino’s, an Italian restaurant only a block away. It’s a special place owned by Sydney’s friend and her family, and we highly recommend checking it out for a delicious meal!
Pendry Newport Beach
One of our favorite staycation spots is The Pendry, located within walking distance of Fashion Island, which boasts a variety of restaurants and shops. It’s also just a short 5-10 minute drive to Balboa Island and the beach, as well as one of our go-to Italian spots, The Original Mama D's, for a delicious, homestyle meal.
If you're looking to turn your trip into a little vacation, we highly recommend The Pendry. While it’s on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth the stay. Plus, the drive to the venue from here is an easy 30-minute trip.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lake Forest - Irvine East, an IHG Hotel
For a more affordable yet still great option, this hotel is only a 10-13 minute drive to the venue. It’s centrally located, making it easy to get to the beach, local restaurants, and other key spots around the area. Perfect for a comfortable and convenient stay!
Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, Autograph Collection
If you're looking to stay closer to the beach, this is a fantastic option! Located right in the heart of Old Town San Juan Capistrano, you'll find a wide variety of amazing restaurants to enjoy. Just a short walk away is The River Street, a new development with shops, restaurants, a brewery, and more. We highly recommend staying in this charming historic town, which is about a 25-minute drive to the venue.
