Whether you're joining us for the day, spending the weekend at a hotel, or enjoying a beachfront Airbnb or VRBO rental for the week, there’s something for everyone. No matter where you choose to stay, we’re so excited to celebrate with you!

Our reception will be held at this beautiful, boutique hotel, offering top-notch amenities and a prime location in the heart of Newport Beach. It's a fantastic option if you want to stay close to all the festivities and avoid worrying about transportation after the celebration. To book under our reserved room block, use the link below. If you prefer a double queen room instead of a king, please do book the king room and leave a special request while booking. Lido House will do its best to accommodate the room type. If you have any questions regarding the room block or run into any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact our event coordinator at Lido House, Connor Silver, at <a href="mailto:connor.silver@lidohousehotel.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">connor.silver@lidohousehotel.com</a>.

AIRPORTS

Southern California offers several airport options for your convenience. We recommend booking your flights about 3-4 months in advance to ensure the best options and availability.

Distance to Lido House Hotel: 6 miles (15 minutes by car) John Wayne Airport is the closest and most convenient airport when traveling to Newport Beach. As a smaller airport, it’s easy to navigate, and you’ll find plenty of domestic flights from major U.S. cities. With short travel times and easy access to rideshare services, this airport is the best option for minimizing travel time.

John Wayne Airport (SNA)

Distance to Lido House Hotel: 23 miles (35-40 minutes by car) Long Beach Airport offers a smaller, less crowded alternative to major airports. Despite being slightly farther from Newport Beach than John Wayne, LGB is still a great flight option.

Long Beach Airport (LGB)

Distance to Lido House Hotel: 45 miles (1-1.5 hours by car, depending on traffic) As the largest airport in the region, LAX offers the most flight options. Keep in mind that LA traffic can be unpredictable, so factor that into your travel time.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Distance to Lido House Hotel: 85 miles (1.5-2 hours by car) San Diego International is the furthest airport on this list but still worth considering, especially for travelers who want to combine their trip to Newport Beach with a visit to San Diego.

Parking

For your convenience, valet parking will be complimentary for all guests during the duration of the wedding at the Lido House Hotel. You won't need to worry about parking—simply pull up to the valet, and they'll take care of the rest!

Travel & Accommodations

Newport Beach offers a variety of fantastic dining options. As summer tends to be a busy season, we recommend making reservations ahead of time to secure your spot and avoid any wait times.

Dining
