Flight
CID airport
Cedar Rapids (CID) is the closest airport to the wedding location (about 30 minute drive). There are other airports, but farther drive (Des Monies is about 2 hours, Quad Cities is about 1.5 hours, Chicago without tolls is about 3-3.5 hours).

Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center
This is the reception/dinner venue as well as a short 10-15 minute drive from the ceremony venue. We have a limited amount of rooms reserved in a room block (rate $149 without tax) for June 4-7, to book use the "view" button. This has to be booked prior to May 15. Due to the limited number reserved, please let us know ASAP if you plan to reserve a room and we may be able to expand our room block.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Coralville - Iowa River Landing, IA
Christina's parents have stayed here before and really enjoyed it. Very close to the Hyatt/reception venue

Hampton Inn Iowa City/University Area

Hotel
Quality Inn Coralville - Iowa River Landing
The Quality Inn is a nearby less expensive hotel that is older but well maintained for the price. Warning: No elevator We recommend avoiding the SureStay plus as it has had cleanliness problems in the past.
Travel Note
Road Trip from So. Cal to Iowa
We understand that Iowa City is very far for many of the people invited to our wedding. Because flights can often be expensive, especially for large families, we thought it would be nice to highlight many of the fun things you can see if you were to choose to drive across the country! Mrs. Silva, the mother of the groom, has put together a list of fun things along the drive for those who are driving from California.
Travel Note
Road Trip from Phoenix AZ to Iow Route 1 (shorter)
We understand that Iowa City is very far for many of the people invited to our wedding. Because flights can often be expensive, especially for large families, we thought it would be nice to highlight many of the fun things you can see if you were to choose to drive across the country! Mrs. Silva, the mother of the groom, has put together two lists of fun things along the drive for those who are driving from Arizona, this route saves a bit of time by passing through New Mexico.
Travel Note
Road Trip from Phoenix AZ to IA Route 2 (sceinc)
We understand that Iowa City is very far for many of the people invited to our wedding. Because flights can often be expensive, especially for large families, we thought it would be nice to highlight many of the fun things you can see if you were to choose to drive across the country! Mrs. Silva, the mother of the groom, has put together two lists of fun things along the drive for those who are driving from Arizona, this route takes a bit longer but passes through Utah and Colorado to make for a more scenic drive.
