Karen's grandparents have lived in Georgetown for a number of years, and it is a city that is close to her heart. Georgetown is an amazing community of 50,000 people located just 25 miles from Downtown Austin on IH-35. There are a number of beautiful bed and breakfasts set in Victorian homes near Union on Eighth (wedding venue) and several national hotel chains nearby, but it's also close enough that if you wanted to stay in Austin, you're only a short ride away.
There will be a big music festival happening in Austin during our wedding weekend- Austin City Limits Festival (ACL). ACL attracts up to 450,000 people every year over two weekends. Many people come in from out of town, and this can drive up flight prices, rental car prices. Hotels in Georgetown shouldn't feel too much strain, but we still encourage you to book in advance. (Plus our block of rooms at the Sheraton is a nice deal). Once the lineup for the festival is announced in spring 2018 you could see a spike in travel prices. We just want to give you enough notice to join us!
We're saying cocktail or "dressy casual". We're going into the evening, so wear something you'd like to dance and celebrate in! Please note we hope to have the ceremony in the back garden of the venue if weather allows, and it can still be warm in Texas this time of year. You can leave your opera gloves and white tie at home for this one- it's not our style.
We won't be providing any official transportation to and from the ceremony/reception. We urge everyone to have fun- responsibly, and there will be a police officer on site at the event, due to venue requirements. We do have an Uber Events code that may be used in the event that you need to get home safely. This code is good for up to $10 dollars per ride. Please use this link: vouchers.uber.com/claim?code=ey0lnvm Or this code: ey0lnvm
Union on 8th will provide valet service. The venue is downtown, with parking nearby, and we don't think you'll have too much of a hard time finding parking near the venue, but note there is no parking lot.
