Question

Parking at Dunlodge

Answer

Dunlodge will not have sufficient space for everyone to park. For an area map showing parking arrangements, navigate to our PHOTO GALLERY (the very first photo is a parking and walking map to Dunlodge). Written instructions here: To get to Dunlodge, park at nearby Saint Anne's-Belfield School. We have reserved their athletics parking lot at 2130 Ivy Road. Once you have parked, there will be signs to guide you on the 0.18 mile walk to Dunlodge. Remember: change into your comfortable shoes before you head to the lodge, and bring any shared food or changes of clothes / jackets you will want to have.

Question

I am visiting from out of town. Where should I stay?

Answer

We have not blocked rooms at any particular hotel in town. Sonesta ES Suites Charlottesville University and Holiday Inn Charlottesville Monticello are both reliable choices that are close to wedding venues, local restaurants, and amenities.

Question

What do I wear?

Answer

Ceremony and church reception will be clean, fresh, and church-y. Dress up but stay comfortable. For the potluck barbeque at the cabin, we highly recommend bringing along a comfortable pair of shoes suited to uneven terrain. If you don't feel like making a full wardrobe change, we recommend a warm sweatshirt, coverup, or jacket. Guests wanting a full wardrobe change are encouraged to use church facilities at the end of the church reception but there are plenty of rooms at the cabin if you prefer changing there. Remember: Camp Wedding will be indoor-outdoor with fire pits, coolers, and picnic areas.

Question

If I want to change clothes between the church and cabin, where can I do that?

Answer

You have two options: Change at the church around 5:30pm before heading to the cabin, or when you arrive at the cabin. There are plenty of rooms at both locations.

Question

Do I have to bring a side dish?

Answer

No. We have lots of guests volunteering to bring food. If you are in charge of kids, coming from out of town, or if you simply don't want to bring food, we got you! Just come and have fun. There will be plenty.

Question

When and how do I deliver my side dish for the cabin potluck?

Answer

We are encouraging food-making guests to deliver their sides to the cabin before noon on Saturday, March 28th. Alternatively, dishes can be kept fresh in your car with a cooler (if needed) and brought directly to the potluck following church celebrations. Luckily, March is generally a cool month in Virginia.

Question

Help! I have a dietary restriction.

Answer

We are pretty confident that among all the food choices, there should be something for everyone, but reach out if you have questions about a specific dietary restriction, especially allergies.

Question

I can't come, but I want to participate. How?

Answer

Easy! First, our church offers live streaming of events in the sanctuary. You can watch the ceremony from the comfort of wherever you're at if you prefer (link coming soon). Second, we're encouraging guests to donate to charitable organizations if their budgets allow. Both are great ways to celebrate.
