Due to the State Fair of Texas and the Texas/OU football game occurring during wedding weekend, it is highly recommended that out of town guests book accommodations as early as possible. Dallas has many hotel offerings at various price points to consider (please keep in mind that the reception is downtown). Some of our suggestions are below: The Thompson Hotel: https://www.hyatt.com/thompson-hotels/dfwth-thompson-dallas?src=corp_lclb_gmb_seo_dfwth The Adolphus Hotel: https://www.adolphus.com The Joule Hotel: https://www.thejouledallas.com The Magnolia: https://www.magnoliahotels.com/dallas-downtown/ The Fairmont: https://www.fairmont.com/dallas/?goto=fiche_hotel&code_hotel=A558&merchantid=seo-maps-US-A558&sourceid=aw-cen&utm_medium=seo+maps&utm_source=google+Maps&utm_campaign=seo+maps&y_source=1_MTIzNjE0MjgtNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D Dallas Marriott Downtown: https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/daldt-dallas-marriott-downtown/overview/?scid=f2ae0541-1279-4f24-b197-a979c79310b0 Hyatt Regency Downtown: https://www.hyatt.com/hyatt-regency/en-US/dfwrd-hyatt-regency-dallas?src=corp_lclb_gmb_seo_dfwrd The Crescent: https://crescent-hotel.com The Canopy: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/dfwrmpy-canopy-dallas-uptown/ The Beeman: https://www.thebeemanhotel.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=business_listing
Guests will be in charge of their own transportation to and from the wedding ceremony and reception. The wedding party will be traveling together to the wedding events. St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and The Thompson Hotel are located in bustling areas of the city and have many options for ride-share services throughout the evening. Ride-share options include Uber, Lyft, and Alto. Should you elect to drive, St. Thomas Aquinas has ample parking available in the lot to the left of the church entrance as well as street parking. The Thompson Hotel has a valet service and ride-share drop-off locations (please see details below). Upon arrival, please notify the valet attendant at The Thompson that you are with The Tillotson Wedding upon arrival. For those guests staying at The Thompson as hotel guests, please use the valet service/ride-share drop-off on Akard Street. For those guests only using valet for the reception, please use the valet service/ride-share drop-off on Elm Street.
The attire for both the marriage ceremony and reception is formal - put on your favorite bowtie or that evening gown you've been excited to show-off and dance the night away with us! For men, formal attire is defined as a tuxedo or refined suit with tie. For women, formal attire is defined as floor-length gowns or elevated cocktail dresses. We kindly remind you to refrain from wearing white, cream, ivory, or champagne.
As you may be aware, Kate suffers from a severe allergy to all nuts and nut products. As such, we take allergy concerns seriously. We know some of our loved ones also have dietary restrictions and we will provide the following to address those concerns: Completely nut-free reception Vegetarian option available for appetizer and action station option Gluten-free option available for appetizer and action station option
We love that you are excited to attend our wedding and celebrate with us! It is important to us to have an intimate experience with our dearest loved ones, and we are required to provide headcount to our wedding vendors and coordinators well in advance of our RSVP deadline. As such, we are unable to accommodate additional guests that are not a part of your original invitation.
Fortunately for all of our traveling guests (thank you all, again!) there are many fun activities available in the city during wedding weekend other than exploring "Our Favorite Bites" for food and drinks! Please see some suggested fun times below: Attending the Texas State Fair A lake-side bike or run around White Rock Lake A walk and a "summer beer" on The Katy Trail A beautiful walk through the Dallas Arboretum Tour of the Dallas Museum of Fine Art
Our best friend and honorary ring bearer is enjoying a weekend with his friends at daycare. He is sad to miss the party (particularly the food), but he will be attending in spirit. Don't worry, he is also dressed in a bowtie with a special wedding treat to celebrate his parents getting married!
