Guest Notes
arrivalsTravel
Hotels, arrivals, and the LA notes to make the weekend feel easy.
Recommended stays
We gathered hotel options across three neighborhoods: Downtown for the quickest ride, West Hollywood for the fullest LA weekend, and Beverly Hills for a quieter, more polished stay. Because Los Angeles offers such a wide range of hotel options across different neighborhoods, styles, and price points, we’ve chosen not to reserve room blocks—so you can stay somewhere that fits your preferences and experience the city your way.

We curated a full LA Edit for the weekend: coffee, dinners, rooftops, galleries, and easy pockets of the city to save between plans.

A SUGGESTED WEEKEND
A Suggested Weekend
choose your own adventure, but here's how we'd ease in
- Thursday — Welcome Event + Soft Landing—Fly in, settle in, and ease into LA with a slow lunch at Zinque or Joan's on Third, a walk through Abbot Kinney or Melrose, then join us for the Welcome Event. If you still have energy, end with one rooftop nightcap: Bar Lis or Harriet's.
- Friday — The Main Event—Wedding day. Keep the morning slow: brunch, pool, beach, or glam, then join us for the ceremony and reception. After that, celebrate, dance, and stay up too late with us.

What is the best way to get around the city?
Uber and Lyft are readily available and the easiest way to navigate the city. Los Angeles is very drivable, though parking and associated costs can vary, so we recommend planning accordingly.

We cannot wait to have the people we love most together in Los Angeles. This weekend already means so much to us, and having you there is what will make it feel real. Whether you are flying in, driving across town, rearranging your calendar, or simply showing up ready to celebrate, please know how grateful we are. We hope the weekend feels like us: warm, a little dressed up, full of good food, good music, and the kind of moments we will talk about for years. Thank you for being part of our story and for loving us so well. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
With love,
Mercedes & Noah
