Gap Recommendations

We have a short gap between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. To make your drive over as smooth as possible, weโ€™ve hand-picked four of our favorite local spots to stop and relax along the route. We selected these specific locations because they all feature free, easy parking lots (so you can skip the downtown traffic!) and powerful air conditioning to help you stay cool. Whether you need a caffeine pick-me-up or a pre-celebration drink, we hope you enjoy a quick break before the party begins!
