a few things to know
Book early

February is peak season in Palm Springs. We highly recommend reserving your room as soon as possible , availability fills up fast, especially over weekends.

Getting around

Both hotels are within ~8 minutes of the venue. We recommend Uber or Lyft for easy travel between the airport, your hotel, and the wedding as parking on-site is limited.

Palm Springs International (PSP)

Best Option
~25 min to venue  ·  No rental car needed

This is your best bet. PSP is a small, easy airport right in the desert , no traffic, no stress, and a short Uber or Lyft straight to your hotel. If you can fly into PSP, do it.

✓ Closest to venue ✓ Rideshare friendly ✓ No rental car needed

Ontario International (ONT)

Alternative
~1.5 hrs to venue  ·  Rental car recommended

Ontario is a solid backup if you find better fares. It's about 1.5 hours from the venue , manageable, but you'll want to rent a car or coordinate a rideshare for the drive out to the desert.

⚠ Rental car recommended ✓ Often cheaper fares ✓ Less busy than LAX

Los Angeles International (LAX)

Last Resort
2–3 hrs to venue  ·  Rental car required

LAX has the most flight options, but it's a hike , expect 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic. Only worth it if the fare difference is significant. A rental car is a must.
