Getting There

The Russian River Valley is in the heart of Sonoma County and is full of California charm. We’re honored to invite you to this special place as we exchange our vows. We hope to show you as much of it as possible, from tucked-away redwood groves to sun-baked vineyards.

Flying In?
For those traveling by air, SFO and OAK are the closest big airports.

Oakland-San Francisco Bay International Airport (OAK)

If you're flying Southwest, OAK is your go-to. It’s a much smaller airport than SFO and generally has a quicker check-in and security process. OAK is about a 90-minute drive to the Russian River Valley, with scenic views across the bay.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

For United, Alaska, and most other airlines SFO will be the most convenient. From SFO, it's about a two-hour drive to the Russian River Valley, taking you through SF’s Presidio Parkway and over the Golden Gate Bridge.

On the Road
Once you’ve landed, you’ll want to rent a car to explore the area and get to the wedding venue. The drive will take you through some of Northern California’s most stunning landscapes—so take your time, enjoy the views, and maybe even stop by a vineyard or two on your way.

Alternatively, you can grab an Uber to Santa Rosa. From SFO the trip should take about 2 hours and cost ~$200, including tip. Feel free to check out pricing here.

We’ve organized a room block at the Flamingo Resort and Spa in Santa Rosa, and we’d love for you to stay there with us. We think you’ll love the lively midcentury charm, hot tubs, and pacific-coast inspired restaurant. We’ll be hosting our wedding after-party right at the hotel, so staying here means you can help us keep the celebration going. Shuttles to and from the venue will also be arranged from the Flamingo

Our room block has closed, however…

If you’d like to stay at the Flamingo, please contact Holly or Miles and they should be able to get you the discounted room rate through their contact.
