Frequently Asked Travel Questions
Which airport is closest?
If you're joining us from out of town, we encourage you to fly into Austin International Airport (AUS).
The Austin airport is about 30 minutes from both Martindale - where the wedding is being held - and San Marcos - where we've reserved a block of hotel rooms.
How do we get from the airport to the hotel or venue?
If you're not renting a car, Uber and Lyft can get you around!
Hotels
Where Should We Stay?
There are several cute AirBnbs in Martindale, but no hotels. Therefore, we've reserved a block of hotel rooms at the Fairfield Inn and Suites (information below) in San Marcos. It's about a 10 minute drive from the venue, has a free breakfast, and is pet friendly.
To get the group rate, you'll need to book your stay at the Fairfield by 11/29/24.
If you're looking for a more private and upscale location, we recommend staying at the Melrose River Club (information below). The boutique hotel is about 5 minutes away from the venue. While we do not have a reserved block of rooms at this hotel or a special rate, we met the owners and loved the property. It's a super cute spot with boho vibes and would be a perfect place to hang out between wedding activities!
Finally, Dax has scoured the internet to find the best Airbnbs in the area (information below). Some of these homes can sleep 14 or more people! So, feel free to split the cost with some friends and book a restful retreat right in town!
