Flight
The closest airport is Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. It is a Southwest Hub but all major airlines fly to and from there. I know Detroiters love Delta Airlines. There are some direct flights on Delta, while others require a stop in Atlanta. Heather and Curt live about 10 minutes from the Birmingham airport. However, the wedding venue is about 50 minutes away.
House Or Rental
Oak Island, the wedding venue, is approximately 50 minutes from downtown Birmingham. If you would like to stay closer to the venue. We recommend AirBnB options in or around Wilsonville, AL or Lay Lake.
Travel Note
Enterprise and other rental car agencies are available at the airport. Uber and Lyft are both available, as well. Please use your own judgement when riding.
Hotel
We have a block of hotel rooms available for you to reserve at the Fairfield Inn for May 14 and May 15. The room options are one king bed for $149.00 per night and two queen beds for $169.00 per night.. This hotel is in the center of downtown Birmingham, 14 minutes from the airport, 7 minutes from our house, and 45 minutes from the wedding venue.

Travel Note
We love the white sandy beaches in southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. May is a beautiful time of year to hang out at these beaches. So we highly recommend taking a trip to the beach before or after our wedding. Some of our favorite spots are Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Destin, and Panama City Beach. But you cannot go wrong at any of the Panhandle or Alabama beaches!
