Hotel
VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort & Spa
This hotel will serve as home base for out-of-town guests. 12-15 min drive to the Church/Reception area. Busses will come here to pick-up & drop-off guests. Please note there are resort fees associated with this hotel. If this option is too expensive, there are plenty of local/small hotels in the Newport Beach area. If you are interested in a closer hotel & willing to pay more, the best option would be Lido House, Autograph Collection Hotel. Please note that busses will not pick-up or drop-off guests here. This hotel is a 4-7 min drive to Church/Ceremony (20-25 min walk). If you choose an AirBnb route, we suggest getting a place closer to the reception @ Harborside vs. the VEA hotel so you are closer to the action.
Travel Note
Travel Recommendation
We recommend not driving since parking on the peninsula can be difficult. We will provide a bus from the VEA Hotel to the church and will also provide transportation back to the VEA hotel at the end of the reception. Uber & Lyft are also an easy, affordable option.
