We have reserved 25 rooms at the Doubletree Berkeley Marina, which is ~20 minutes from the wedding venue (and 10 minutes from our house!). With a bayside bar and restaurant, an indoor pool and jacuzzi, and waterfront bocce, I recommend booking early! Our block expires 05/26/2023.

Flying into Berkeley
Most flight options will deliver you to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), but Oakland International Airport (OAK) is also a great option! There are sometimes great deals flying into OAK, and in addition to being a bit closer to Berkeley, it is also usually much less crowded. From either SFO or OAK, you can take the BART to downtown Berkeley or Oakland for $10.70 for adults and $5.35 for kids. You can buy a physical clipper card, or get the app (there is often a promotion where you can get the clipper card on your phone for free!). Ubers and lyfts are also plentiful at both airports.
Transport to and from the Brazilian Room
Free parking is available at the venue (34 spaces in the Brazil room's parking lot, and 36+ additional nearby street spaces), but we recommend taking an Uber or Lyft so you can fully enjoy the libations! For peace of mind, Uber offers the option of reserving rides in advance (Uber reserve) so you know a ride will be there for you at the end of the night. In case of poor cell service, there is wifi at the venue:
