We will have a shuttle running from 4pm-11pm to help guests staying on the island get to/from the wedding. Everyone who we were able to accommodate will be receiving a text about pick-up/drop-off locations and times. Due to limited seating on the shuttle, it is important everyone only take their assigned shuttle with their RSVP group. If you have any questions, please let us know ASAP! Also, please keep in mind the shuttle will only be running on Saturday April 18th. If you are joining us for the welcome party and/or brunch, please refer to the parking information below.
