Pre-Wedding Events (Wednesday and Thursday in Bakersfield, CA)
Pre-wedding events will take place in Bakersfield, CA on Wednesday, 3/26/25 and Thursday, 3/27/25. Bakersfield is approximately 2 hours north of Los Angeles by car. There is a Bakersfield airport (BFL), however it is a regional airport so you may find that flights are more limited and expensive. Another option is flying into any of the myriad airports in the LA area (with LAX or Burbank/BUR being likely most convenient) and then driving up. To fully attend all events, we recommend arriving to Bakersfield no later than Wednesday midday.
Friday will be a day for guests to depart Bakersfield and travel back to Los Angeles. This will be most easily accomplished by car.

While that is certainly your prerogative, we will be offering shuttle services from this hotel to the venue and back in both the morning and evening. We will also be providing a midday lunch at the hotel. As such, it will be most convenient to make your home base in the West Hollywood area.
