Travel Note
Transportation
Thinking about driving? Just a heads-up—the venue is tucked away in the countryside, with winding roads and rolling hills. We’ll have an open bar (yay!) and Uber/Lyft can be spotty out here, so we recommend hopping on the shuttle from The Welk if you're staying there. If you do plan to drive, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with complimentary valet parking at the venue.
