Airport

If you plan to fly into San Diego, we recommend flying into San Diego International Airport, which is about a 20 minute drive to most of the hotel accommodations listed below.

Transportation

If you are not planning to drive into San Diego, we strongly recommend either renting a car (can be rented through various rental car companies at San Diego airport) or using ride share apps (such as Uber or Lyft) to navigate around San Diego, as we do not have extensive public transportation available here. On the day of the wedding, guests will need to obtain transportation from their accommodations to The Immaculata Catholic Church (near Mission Bay in San Diego) for the ceremony, and to Darlington House (in La Jolla, San Diego) for the reception.

Hotels

There are many hotels and locations to stay around San Diego that are not only convenient and in close proximity to the wedding ceremony/reception location, but can also place you close to the ocean and all that San Diego has to offer. We have included some recommendations based on region in San Diego ranging in price points.


Most desirable hotel locations in terms of proximity to the ocean would be in either La Jolla or Windansea (closest to the reception venue) or in Mission Bay (closest to the ceremony church). More budget friendly hotel options would be in either UTC (University Town Center) or Hotel Circle, which place you around a 15 minute drive from the ocean.


All hotels listed below are within a 20 minute drive radius or less to both the ceremony and reception locations, with some hotels in La Jolla/Windansea being walking distance from the reception venue.


The bride and groom both live in the UTC area and will be staying in UTC the week leading up to the wedding, and they will plan to stay in La Jolla the night of the wedding.

Hotel Circle Hotels

Hotels/motels located in Hotel Circle are going to be the most budget friendly within proximity to both ceremony and reception venues (around a 15-20 minute drive to both). Please note that Hotel Circle will require Ubering/ride share or driving to most attractions/nearby towns as there are only a few restaurants and limited "things to do" in Hotel Circle (this area is primarily a place to sleep and grab a quick bite to eat). Most hotels/motels in this area range in price point of $-$$; we just listed a few options, but this area has so many options to choose from!

Airbnb and Vrbo

There are a plethora of Airbnb and Vrbo rentals all around San Diego that could be rented for the weekend with your party or a small group of friends. These tend to book up relatively quickly, especially in desirable locations such as La Jolla, Windansea, Pacific Beach, Mission Bay, etc. These rentals can range from renting an apartment/condo unit to an entire house-- offering privacy, kitchens, and often a parking spot. Would recommend looking in similar areas to the hotel recommendations to put you in closest proximity to the weekend events.
