Travel

Below are a few suggestions on hotels that you may enjoy. I've included travel time to some places with the hotels as well. I suggest thinking about your trip and what all you want to do and if one these fit your criteria then awesome! Otherwise, just search the area you would like to stay. There is absolutely no shortage of hotels in Orange County and I am sure you'll find just the right one for your time out here! If you are a larger group, I recommend checking out AirBnB or VRBO. Areas to look at include: Rancho Santa Margarita, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Irvine, Tustin, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Newport Beach. Really anywhere on a map that looks appealing to you! We are so beyond thrilled to have you here with us for our special day!!

Hotel

Ayres Hotel & Spa Mission Viejo

28951 Los Alisos Boulevard, Mission Viejo, CA 92692
 (949) 305-7200

This hotel is about 10 minutes from the wedding venue (one of the closet venues) and right of the 241 Toll Road. The 241 Toll Road allows you to access the 5 and 405 freeways, the main freeways to take you around Orange County. Disneyland is just 30 minutes away from here, Irvine Spectrum (large outside mall with restaurants, movie theaters, and tons of shops) is 20 minutes, Laguna Beach is 25 minutes away. Newport Beach is 30 minutes away. Knott's Berry Farm is 35 minutes away. While a little more inland, the location of being right off the 241 Toll Road helps you get around fairly easily!

Hotel

Hilton Garden Inn Irvine East/Lake Forest

27082 Towne Centre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92610
 (949) 859-4000

Another hotel located right off the 241 Toll Road. So all the same benefits as the Ayres hotel (one of the closest to the wedding venue). Travel times Wedding Venue: 13 minutes Disneyland: 30 minutes Irvine Spectrum: 15 minutes Laguna Beach: 25 minutes Newport Beach: 30 minutes Knott's Berry Farm: 35 minutes

Hotel

Hilton Irvine/Orange County Airport

18800 Macarthur Boulevard, Irvine, CA 92612
 (949) 833-9999

Right off of the 405 freeway, right next to John Wayne Airport (SNA). It's more north of the wedding, but definitely a central location for all to do in Orange County. Travel Times Wedding Venue: 30 minutes Disneyland: 25 minutes Irvine Spectrum: 16 minutes Laguna Beach: 20 minutes Newport Beach: 15 minutes Knott's Berry Farm: 30 minutes

Hotel

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Doheny Beach - Dana Point

34402 East Pacific Coast Highway, Dana Point, CA 92629
 (949) 661-1100

Dana Point is one of the brides favorite spots. Beautiful beaches and harbor, tons of restaurants, shops, great places to bike, hike, and so on. Just in case anyone is in the mood for a hotel near the beach! Travel times Wedding Venue: 30 minutes Disneyland: 40+ minutes Irvine Spectrum: 25 minutes Laguna Beach: 20 minutes Newport Beach: 30 minutes Knott's Berry Farm: 50 minutes

Flight

John Wayne Airport (SNA)

There are airports to fly into, John Wayne being at the top of the list. It's a small, very nice airport in the middle of Orange County. Definitely the most convenient!

Flight

Long Beach Airport

Second on the list of airports to fly into! Tiny beautiful airport in Long Beach. Depending on where you stay it's about 40 minutes away from inland Orange County.

Flight

LAX

LAX has tons of flights and usually the best prices, only downside is that you combat LA traffic. Travel time to Orange County can take about an hour to an hour and a half.
