Flight
We recommend flying into Portland's airport as it is the closest major airport to our wedding venue (it is about an hour away).
House Or Rental
There are many wonderful home shares located in the Cornelius/Hillsboro/Beaverton area, which is partway between our venue and the airport. This can be a fun way to spend time with family and friends. (It's what my family is planning to do! - Dana). The best websites for finding a home share in this area are Airbnb and VRBO.
Hotel
We suggest staying in the Cornelius/Hillsboro/Beaverton area as it is partway between our venue and the airport. We want you to choose what is best for your and your family, so we've listed a few options to get you started: Unique Hotels near Cornelius/Hillsboro: - McMenamins Grand Lodge: an eclectic hotel that is part of the McMenamins company, which buys historic buildings around Portland and turns them into unique restaurants and/or hotels. - The Orenco: a cute boutique hotel located in a very walkable neighborhood. Classic hotels near Hillsboro/Beaverton: - Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Hillsboro/Brookwood - Hilton Garden Inn Portland/Beaverton - Holiday Inn Hillsboro There are also many gorgeous places in downtown Portland, but keep in mind that those are about an hour from our venue.
