Chattanooga Airport

We recommend flying directly into Chattanooga Airport (CHA). It's a quick and easy Uber ride to your hotel, and rental cars are available. Direct flights into CHA are available from hubs all over the country via major airlines including American, Delta, United, and Allegiant.

Other Nearby Airports

There are 4 additional major airports within ~2 hours of Chattanooga. Atlanta (ATL) (~2 h/125 mi) Nashville (BNA) (~2 h/130 mi) Knoxville (TYS) (~1.5 h/110 mi) Birmingham, AL (BHM) (~2h 10m /144 mi) If you fly into Atlanta and prefer not to rent a car, Groome Transportation operates daily shuttles between ATL-Chattanooga. Long-distance Ubers can be requested, and all four have rental cars available. We caution that ATL historically has the worst traffic of the four.

Travel Note

Day-Of Wedding Shuttles

We are getting married on top of Lookout Mountain, which overlooks downtown Chattanooga. Our wedding ceremony will take place at Our Lady of the Mount Catholic Church, with reception to follow at the nearby Lookout Mountain Club Fairyland Clubhouse (less than 1 mile apart). We are providing round-trip shuttle transport to ensure guests enjoy the day without worrying about parking or navigating mountain roads. Shuttle schedule information will be posted closer to our wedding day, and we anticipate pick-ups and drop-offs at both the Westin and Hotel Bo. Safety Note: If you plan to enjoy the open bar or are simply unfamiliar with driving on winding and steep mountain roads, we request that you take the provided shuttles. Nothing is more important to us than your safety. Should you prefer to select a designated driver, the Church has ample parking space, and complementary valet parking is provided for our reception at the Fairyland Clubhouse.
