Airport

For guests flying in for the wedding, we highly recommend you fly into John Wayne International Airport (SNA). This airport is about 20 minutes away from both San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach. If you choose San Diego or Los Angeles airports - just know that you will be driving at least an hour to San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach. **There will be no transportation available for the Welcome Party or for the Wedding Ceremony/Reception.** The Ranch has limited parking available. We encourage guests to use Lyft/Uber or to carpool. The Mission Basilica, where the wedding ceremony will be held, has ample parking.

Travel

“Coastal cool” is how The Ranch describes itself – if that’s not trendy, we don’t know what is! The Ranch is a luxury hotel right off the famous Pacific Coast Highway set against the beautiful canyon. Apparently, this hotel is a member of National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World… so that’s pretty awesome. Also, this is where we are having our welcome party and our reception. We have a Wedding Block at this hotel:Please call 800-223-3309 and reference the Thayer/Mazzoni Wedding Room Block or use this link to book your room: https://book.passkey.com/e/50105858

If you’re looking to discover the place where Haley Thayer was born and raised, this is the place to stay. The Inn at the Mission is a brand-new hotel built right next to the Mission Basilica where we will hold our wedding ceremony. Haley attended Mission Parish school (right next to the Mission Basilica) from kindergarten-6th grade. Yes, they wore uniforms and they were super cute. San Juan Capistrano is one of the more quaint areas of Orange County with great restaurants and historical sites to visit.

Where To Stay

Everyone! This THE O.C.!Remember, you must watch all four seasons of The O.C. before you arrive. This will give you a head start on all the “cool” places to go. In all seriousness: San Juan Capistrano Best Restaurants: Ramos House Café – set on the train tracks in SJC. This is Haley’s favorite restaurant of all-time!*Good for breakfast/lunch Ciao Pasta – delicious Italian food, if you didn’t guess already. Right across from Mission Basilica*Good for lunch/dinner L’Hirondelle Restaurant – French food. Haley’s parents frequent there every Friday night. Drop the names Chris and Ken Thayer and you’re sure to get a hug or something from the owner.*Good for dinner Chill/easy eats in SJC: Bad to the Bone BBQ*Good for lunch Los Golondrinas – don’t let the small storefront fool you. The burritos are delightful.*Good for lunch &nbsp;San Juan Capistrano Places To Go: Take a tour at the Mission Basilica and the grounds… and that’s about it. Looking for more? Head over to Dana Point –Great bars/restaurants as far as the eye can see. Salt Creek Beach has a good amount of parking and it’s beautiful. Whale Watching is pretty epic here as well. Laguna Beach Best Restaurants (not sure how you choose from the millions of choices but here are a few of our favorites): Banzai Bowls – Acai bowls are out of this world!*Good for breakfast Zinc Café – Really cute restaurant tucked away in the heart of Laguna Beach. Eat there and walk to the main beach front.*Good for breakfast. Beachcomber Café – Literally, right on the beach. Go there for any meal – be prepared to wait or make a reservation. One of the few restaurants where you can walk in the sand/water and then go have a great meal.*Good for brunch, lunch and dinner The Deck on Laguna Beach – Go here for drinks at sunset. The food is pretty good but the scenery is out of this world.*Good for happy hour Nick’s Laguna Beach – Classic staple that’s delicious and great people watching.*Good for dinner Laguna Beach Places To Go: Well… it’s in the name. Go to the beach. Best beaches to explore: Thousand Steps (yes, there are a lot of steps down) and Victoria Beach (where we took our engagement photos)
