Parking: · Guests are not able to park at the marina as it is private parking, so guests will need to park behind Ed’s Tavern at 17044 Kenton Drive, Cornelius, NC 28031 and a shuttle service will shuttle guests to the venue. · The shuttle ride is only about 5 minutes or less. · The first shuttle will pick up at 5:15pm and the last shuttle will pick up around 5:50pm. · We ask that you don’t wait until the last shuttle so that we are not delayed in departing the dock at 6:00pm. If you are running late, please call or text Sierra (678.633.0490) or Dana (310.714.1906) so that we can hold the boat. · If you are Uber’ing/Lyft’ing to the marina, the address is Safe Harbor Kings Point at 18020 Kings Point Dr., Cornelius, NC 28031. · The bar on the boat should be open around 5:45pm so we ask that guests not order drinks until 5:45pm or/unless the bar is ready before that. There are two bars on the boat, one on the bottom floor and one on the top floor. · Shuttle services will take guests back to their cars once the boat returns to the dock at 10pm. · You can leave your car overnight in the parking lot behind Ed’s Tavern if needed (however leave at your own risk). · 8:30pm – Cake Cutting & Dancing the Night Away! · 10:00pm - Boat returns to dock and guests are shuttled back to cars We are so thankful that you’ll be joining us and appreciate all of the effort you’ve made to travel to help us celebrate!

Dear Guests, We are super excited to see you all on Saturday, September 21st for our wedding celebration! We wanted to provide some additional details about the wedding event, logistics and timing. If you have any questions or needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Eric or Cassidy or you may also direct questions to the sister-of-the-bride, Sierra Bowron (678.633.0490) or the aunt-of-the-bride, Dana Shupe (310.714.1906). The event will be held on the Carolina Grace, a 100-foot yacht that will cruise around Lake Norman. We expect to have a slow, smooth ride and mild weather (low 80’s during the day and mid-low 70’s in the evening). There are two floors on the Carolina Grace, the lower floor has 4 bathrooms and is enclosed for those looking for a warmer environment and a top floor with great views of the lake. (The top floor is semi-enclosed.) We suggest that you bring a sweater or jacket for the evening once the sun sets, however there are fans (if it’s too warm) and heaters if it’s too breezy. The boat will leave the dock at 6pm and will return at 10pm.
