Flight
ILM is the most convenient airport to fly into. It's only about a 20-minute drive from most places in Wilmington. If able, we'd recommend flying in and out of ILM.
Flight
RDU is about 2.5 hours away from Wilmington. We'd recommend renting a car if flying in and out of RDU. There is a bus service available as well.
House Or Rental
We highly recommend getting a group and renting a home on Figure Eight Island! The wedding party and several families will be on the island. Please note, there is another wedding on Figure Eight so we recommend booking a house as soon as possible. Transportation to Live Oak on Saturday will be provided for all staying on Figure Eight.
Hotel
We reserved a hotel block at the Trailborn Surf & Sound (previously Blockade Runner) in Wrightsville Beach. It's a great option on the beach if traveling in a smaller group! Transportation to the ceremony on Saturday is provided.
Hotel
The Hampton Inn Suites are another great option in Wrightsville Beach right before the bridge. We'll provide transportation to the ceremony on Saturday!
Travel Note
Transportation to the ceremony & reception on Saturday will be provided to those staying on Figure Eight Island, at the Trailborn Surf and Sound or the Hampton Inn Suites. We'll provide transportation after the reception on Saturday night to all guests attending the after party. Blockade Runner: 3:30pm pick up outside of the lobby Figure Eight: 3:30pm pickup on the main street outside of your rental home. Staying elsewhere: Uber and Lyft are recommended. Parking is available at Live Oak as well. Transportation to the after-party will be provided for all following the reception.
