The hotel is offering a commentary shuttle for wedding guests before and after the wedding. Ask about it at the front desk when you check in!
There are two airports you can choose when flying into the Tampa Bay area. Tampa International (TPA) or St. Pete/Clearwater regional (PIE). Allegiant flies direct to PIE, so folks traveling from Indiana be sure to include that in your search!
The internet tells us that our dress code is “Dressy Causal”, which essentially translates to: as causal as we can keep it while avoiding jeans, shorts, and flip flops please. Florida's weather in January can be at either end of the extreme, ranging from 40 and rainy to 90 and sunny. The ceremony will be outside and we want you to be comfortable, so be sure to check the forecast before packing.
What is Gasparilla you may ask? Think Mardi Gras, but with pirates! Gasparilla the city of Tampa's annual invasion of pirates. On Saturday Jan 31st, downtown Tampa will be filled with parades, beads, and general debauchery. If you plan on staying until the weekend after the wedding, plan accordingly because it can be difficult to travel through downtown Tampa, and accommodations in that area book quickly. The children’s parade will take place on Jan 24th (Wedding day!) so parts of downtown Tampa will also be shutdown to accommodate that parade. https://gasparillapiratefest.com/
