Airports
Ontario International Airport (ONT): ONT is located between Haven Ave. and Grove Ave. in Ontario, CA. ONT is a large airport servicing hundreds of thousands of travelers every year and has cheap flights year-round to all parts of the United States and many common foreign destinations. We recommend ONT to all attendees, if possible, because of its relatively light traffic congestion and close proximity to the wedding venue.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): LAX is the largest airport in Southern California. Located right off the 105 freeway on the coast of El Segundo, LAX sees annual traffic in the millions. Once outside the terminals, you walk right into the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, no more than 20 minutes from the heart of Santa Monica and Downtown Los Angeles.
John Wayne Santa Ana Airport (SNA): John Wayne Airport is located 35 miles south of Los Angeles, in between Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach. Though SNA is smaller than ONT or LAX, it is still a full-service passenger airport serving flights throughout the United States. SNA is located in the heart of Orange County, offering quick travel to Long Beach, Irvine, and Anaheim without being too far from Los Angeles area destinations.
Things To Do
Southern California is known worldwide as a major tourist destination for a reason; year-round events and entertainment is available for anyone with the means to travel and the inclination to have fun.
Aside from the many beaches along the coast of Santa Monica, El Segundo, Long Beach, and Huntington Beach, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire feature many inland venues and sources of entertainment. Hundreds of museums, parks, hiking trails, historic locations, movie theaters, shopping centers, and public gardens dot the landscape from the coast to eastern borders of San Bernardino.
Nighttime fun includes thousands of bars, pubs, restaurants, clubs, dance halls, and raves that can be found on almost every corner in Central LA and beyond. The infrastructure of Southern California is spread out over a wide landscape, and it may seem easy to get lost; but with a little searching and a little help from Google, anyone can find more places to go than one could visit in multiple lifetimes.

Climate and Weather Forecast
November in Southern California tends to be dry with comfortable afternoon temperatures and cool to chilly evenings and mornings. Afternoon high temperatures tend to be in the mid-70s F (24-25 C) early in the month, falling gradually to near 70 F (21-22 C) near the end of the month. A few of the warmer afternoons, especially early in the month, can reach up into the mid to upper 80s F (30-31 C). Highs of 90 F (about 32 C) or more occur about twice every 3 years.
There is a possibility of rain on the date of the wedding, and preparations have been made to accommodate for rain should it occur. Nonetheless, rain is not necessarily expected, and it should be light if it does come.
High temperatures are possible in November for inland areas such as Ontario but should not be expected. We will update this site as the date draws closer
