Question
How do we get to the ceremony location?

School busses will leave the hotel lobby promptly at 2:10pm to transport guests up to the outdoor mountainside Pavilion location for the ceremony. Please aim to be in the lobby by 2pm so you don’t miss the shuttles! The same shuttles will also bus guests back down to the hotel for the cocktail hour/reception once the ceremony is over.
