Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations? How do I book a room in the discounted-rate room block?Do you have any hotel recommendations? How do I book a room in the discounted-rate room block?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception will both take place at the Omni Bedford Springs Resort, and we have secured a discounted room block there for guests who would like to stay on-site with us. To get a discounted rate, you must book through this link: https://bookings.omnihotels.com/offer/bedford-springs/check-henry-wrb We understand that the resort may not fit everyone’s budget, so convenient alternatives are the Hampton Inn Bedford (4 miles away) or the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Bedford (4.5 miles away). There are no room blocks at these hotels so guests looking to stay here will book on the normal public website. Whether you choose to stay at the resort with us or at a nearby hotel, we’re simply excited to celebrate together and can’t wait to see you! For guests staying at the Omni: If you have more than two people staying in your room, we recommend only putting two guests on your reservation and saying two when you check in. The hotel charges an additional fee for rooms booked with more than two occupants, and we'd hate for anyone to pay an unnecessary costs for the same room.

We also respectfully ask guests to avoid wearing white, ivory, cream, or other off-white shades.

Answer

Yes! We are in the process of putting the finishing touches on our registry and will add the links here soon. Because we already own a home filled with many of the things we need, we've carefully selected a small registry of items we'd truly love and use. f you'd like to honor us with a gift, we would be so grateful if you would choose something from our registry or consider a monetary gift to help us build our future together. If you choose to give a check, we kindly ask that it be made payable to either the bride or the groom individually. Most of all, we're simply grateful to celebrate this special day with you!

Question

What are the closest airportsWhat are the closest airports

Answer

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) – about 2 hours / ~123 miles from Bedford. This is our recommendation due to distance and availability of flights. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) – about 2–2.5 hours / ~133 miles from Bedford Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) – about 2.5 hours / ~143 miles away. Smaller Regional Airport: Altoona-Blair County Airport (AOO) – ~30 minutes away but has limited availability of flights The most convenient way to get from the above airports to the venue would be to rent a car from your preferred vendor. Ubers and Lyfts could be available but will be more costly than car rental and are not guarenteed.
