Where to Stay

If you're traveling in, we recommend staying in San Francisco. Our welcome event on Friday will be in North Beach, and we think it's the best base for exploring the Bay Area. If you'd like to stay closer to the venue, there are options in Tiburon as well — a short ferry or car ride can bring you between the two. We will not have a hotel room block, but please reach out if you need help deciding where to stay.

Getting Around

Flying In

SFO and OAK are both about 30 minutes from the city. If you plan to explore outside of SF proper (Monterey, Marin, Santa Cruz), we recommend renting a car.

In the City

Ride share (Uber/Lyft) works well in the city. Waymo, a self-driving car service, is also available — we recommend trying one if you haven't. BART and Muni are available for public transit, and city bikes and scooters are a fun, quick way to get around too.

To the Wedding

You have a couple different options for getting to the wedding. If you're staying in the city, we recommend catching the 2:05pm Golden Gate Ferry from the SF Ferry Building to Tiburon. The ferry arrives at 2:35pm, giving you time to explore Tiburon (perhaps Sam's Anchor Cafe?) before doors open at 4pm. Find ferry information here.

Alternatively, you can get to Tiburon via car or ride share. Valet parking is available onsite. A shuttle will run back to the city at the end of the night, and ride share is available for earlier departures.
