Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We have hotel blocks at 2 different hotels. Please refer to the Travel tab on our website for hotel addresses and discount codes. We only have a set amount of rooms in each block and the rooms are first-come first-serve so be sure to check both hotels if all of the rooms in the block have been booked already. If all of the rooms in the blocks have been reserved in both hotels, we suggest trying to call the hotel and indicate that you are with the DeMattio-Sunny Wedding. Sometimes, if rooms are available the hotel can accomodate a small discount but there are no guarantees.

We do not have any transportation to and from the venue, however the hotels where we have a room block are only a 3-5 minute walk from the venue.
