As you all know, Los Angeles is real spread out! I hope this is helpful and not too much information. Please feel free to call me or Jean-Pierre with any specific questions about locations or plans.
Airports would be either Los Angeles (LAX) or Burbank (BUR).
Everything in LA takes about 30-40 min to drive anywhere on a good day!
Jean-Pierre and I live on the Eastside of LA and we’re getting married on the Westside of LA.
Areas of the city close to the wedding hall: Westwood/Brentwood/Santa Monica/Cheviot Hills/Japantown. We live in Silverlake which is closer to Hollywood/Downtown/Los Feliz.
In trying to cover some hotel housing ideas we wanted to give you a general idea of the city – ideally we want you to stay wherever you are most comfortable but here are a few suggestions!
We love our neighborhood but there aren’t a lot of hotels. There is only a Holiday Inn select that’s really close to our house but not the nicest view, but still nice.
Holiday Inn Express

This hotel holiday inn express in silverlake is the closest hotel to jean-pierre and i - it's clean and nice and safe but not the nicest location only cuz it's by the freeway but in some ways that's super convenient and very close to us.

Then there's this place where my pal told me her parents stayed - it's pretty close to us - closer than some others and nice and safe and clean - close to a grocery, starbucks, metro and freeways.
