In classic Shannon and Brandon fashion, they plan to continue the party (after the reception) in downtown San Juan Capistrano or Dana Point. If you plan on attending the after party, this is a great location for convenience purposes - it's less than a 10 minute drive away from the bars they plan to visit. This is where the bride and groom will stay.
Renaissance Aliso Viejo is located 1.7 miles from the venue. This option is one of the several hotels in the area that would be a great choice for anyone who wants to stay local to Aliso Viejo Ranch, which is about a 5 minute drive.
For comfortable rooms located right on the harbor at a more affordable rate, the Dana Point Marina Inn is a great option! This hotel also located within 10-15 minutes driving time of where the bride and groom plan to continue their celebrations after the reception.
