Accomodations

We have 2 room blocks available for our guests. One is near the venue in beautiful sea-side La Jolla. The second is in downtown San Diego (25 minutes by car) for those who are looking to spend more time in the city proper.

The Empress

The Empress is walking distance to the venue and La Jolla's downtown and cove. Follow this link and book before April 16th for the group rate. Please note that if you want to extend your stay beyond the 16th and 17th, with the group rate, you can book two nights and then call to extend your stay.

The Westin

The Westin is in downtown San Diego, which is 25 minutes from La Jolla. There is limited parking at the venue, so please consider taking a cab to the ceremony. Follow this link and book before April 18th for the group rate.

Travel Recommendations

The closest airport is San Diego International Airport (SAN) about 14 miles from the venue. LAX is the next closest large airport, but is 2 hours away by car. Traffic between L.A. and San Diego is notoriously heavy.

For transportation during your stay, we recommend Uber/Lyft or renting a car. However, the venue has extremely limited street parking, so whichever option you choose, we recommend that you Uber/Lyft or walk to the event itself.

Registry

In place of a traditional gift registry, we would be honored to receive red envelopes. These are known as “红包“ (“hong bao”) in Chinese culture. These envelopes, which typically contain money, are a meaningful tradition that symbolize good fortune. If you don't want to bring cash with you or still want to give a gift, we have Venmo.
