Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the closest major airport to Park Winters and is the most convenient option for most guests traveling to the wedding weekend. SMF offers a straightforward arrival experience, easy rental car access, and a relatively short drive to both Winters and Davis.
For guests who would like to spend additional time exploring the Bay Area or San Francisco before or after the wedding, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is also an excellent option. While farther from the venue, SFO provides extensive domestic and international flight availability and convenient access to San Francisco attractions.
