Getting to Berkeley

The nearest airports to Berkeley are San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK). The BART (local rapid transit) runs from both airports to Berkeley. From SFO, either take the red line directly to Berkeley, or take the yellow line and transfer to the orange line at MacArthur station. From OAK, take the beige line (airport connector) to Coliseum station and transfer to the orange line towards Richmond.

Once you’re in Berkeley, the AC transit 12 bus runs from downtown Berkeley to just a block away from the wedding venue!

All the public transit systems in the Bay Area take Clipper Card for payment. You can buy a Clipper Card at any BART station.

• Residence Inn Berkeley: also in downtown Berkeley.
• DoubleTree Berkeley Marina: this hotel is at the Berkeley Marina, which is scenic but not easily accessible without a car.
