Josh and I would recommend comparing the prices of various airports flying in and out of where you are coming from. Flying in on Thursdays is often cheaper, and purchasing your ticket on a Tuesday or Sunday tends to result in cheaper ticket prices as well.

Hotel

Holiday Inn & Suites Kalamazoo West

1247 Westgate Drive
Kalamazoo, MI 49009
 (269) 888-4800

This hotel is brand.spankin.new (in Lindsay's words). The rooms are very nice! Our experience there has only been positive. The hotel is also right off of highway 131, about 13 minutes from the Country Club. Call the hotel and request Pederson-Engelman wedding block.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kalamazoo West

1315 Westgate Drive
Kalamazoo, MI 49009
 (269) 447-1700

Holiday Inn Express has free breakfast. This hotel is also brand.spankin.new. and is very nice. It is just adjacent to the other Holiday Inn, and so it is 13 minutes away from the Country Club and it is also right off of highway 131. Call the hotel and ask for Pederson-Engelman hotel block.

Hotel

Courtyard by Marriott

400 Trade Centre Way
Portage, MI 49002
 

Please call the hotel and mention that you would like to be in the Pederson-Engelman hotel block

Flight

Gerald R. Ford Aiport (Grand Rapids)

This airport is larger than Kalamazoo airport, and so sometimes flights can be much cheaper than they would be flying into Kalamazoo. This airport is about a 50 minute drive to Kalamazoo, and traffic is normally quite light.

Flight

Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport

This airport is right in Kalamazoo, however, because it is a smaller airport, flights at times can be more expensive depending on the weekend.

Flight

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

Detroit airport is about a two hour drive from Kalamazoo. This is an option, however, would recommend avoiding flying in around rush hour, because traffic can be significantly backed up.

Flight

O'Hare International Airport (Chicago)

O'Hare international airport is about 2 hours and 45 minutes away from Kalamazoo. Traffic can also be difficult between O'Hare and Kzoo starting around 3:30 or 4:00 pm. However, the O'Hare airport is big and slightly further west, and so sometimes flights can be cheaper flying in from the west or south.

Rental Car

Turo

Turo is a car rental website much like uber; however, the cars belong to people in various locations, and you are the one driving them. The car rentals are sometimes cheaper than renting from a dealership. Just make sure you understand the mileage limitations, as well as the rules as instructed by the owner. (Much like airbnb for cars). You can have them directly dropped off at airports as well.

For all the days along the way
