Hotels
Please join us for a slice of a luxury and breathtaking coastal views! There is a block of rooms available under Taborda and Handley. Prices vary based on style of room.
We encourage you to book at least 2 nights (12/30 and 12/31) as check-in is at 4 PM. The ceremony will begin at 4:15 on 12/31. If you check-in on the day of the ceremony, timing will be tight.
This Ritz-Carlton is where the ceremony and reception will be held. This is the only hotel we offer a room block for.
Only a 15 minute drive from the venue. This hotel is walking (or bike riding) distance from the beach and Dana Point Harbor.
About a 10 minute drive from the venue. Please be aware, it is on a busy street and on a hill. So, while there are many restaurants in the area driving will be the easiest way to travel to the venue, beach and harbor.
Roughly a 15 - 20 minute drive from the venue. It is located on the famous Highway 1 and offers sweeping Pacific Ocean views. If you are in search of a retreat this is the spot for you (after the Ritz, of course!).
Please note, if you desire restaurants and shops within walking distance this may not be a great option.
Please note, there aren't neighborhoods within walking distance of our venue. Great neighborhoods to look at include San Clemente (Erika's hometown), Dana Point and Laguna Beach.
Dana Point is the town where the wedding will be. Anything within the town's limit will be close to the venue.
San Clemente is what Erika considers her hometown. If you are in search of the quintessential small California beach town, this is the place for you. The town is easily walkable if you stay close to Del Mar Avenue / Pier Bowl area. The town offers a variety of restaurants, shops, bars and 1 of the few remaining wooden piers in California. If you are able to stay close to the pier bowl you are roughly a 20-25 minute drive from the venue, depending on traffic.
Laguna Beach has a wonderful downtown with many shops, restaurants and spectacular ocean views. (It is San Clemente on steroids). If you select this beautiful location, try to not book hotels North of downtown. It is a long and narrow town, depending on where the house is you may end up more than 45 minutes away from the venue.
Additionally, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach are also fantastic coastal communities. (Newport is where Andrew and Erika live). However, both of these neighborhoods are 45+ minutes away from the venue. The Uber will probably be pricey traveling from these communities to the venue.
