Q + A

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! There will be optional shuttles for guests staying at the Blu-Tique Hotel and The Courtyard Marriott Hotel in downtown Akron. The 'Thomas Limousine' buses will depart for Stan Hywet promptly at 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm respectively. Please keep in mind the busses will need to be full for each departure to accommodate all of our out-of-town guests, so we kindly ask that you try to get on the shuttle that was provided in your hotel bag. Following the ceremony, the buses will shuttle guests to the reception taking place at Portage Country Club, which is just up the street. The buses will do return runs from the reception venue to both the Blu-Tique and the Courtyard Marriott Hotel beginning at 9:30 pm and will run on a continuous shuttle every 15-20 minutes.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! There is plenty of parking at both sites for our ceremony and reception. We also will be offering complimentary valet parking at the Portage Country Club reception venue for our guests!

Question

Is there a dress code?

We would love to have you dress up with us! We are planning a semi-formal dress code wedding - gentlemen, suits and ties are encouraged; ladies, cocktail dresses or gowns are great. No jeans, please!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We included a few hotel options, which are on our "Travel" page that include discounted rates for our wedding block. Two hotels are located in downtown Akron and the other is located in Fairlawn, which is around ten minutes from downtown. If you're calling to book a room, be sure to mention the "May Lutz Wedding" to receive the discounted rate when booking.
