Travel Note
-Country Club Plaza - 15 blocks of dining and shopping. Designed after Seville Spain so it has really unique architecture and look. Free parking everywhere and a great place to stay (hotels or rentals) so you can walk to everything. Westport - Trendy area near the plaza with restaurants and bars. Tons of nightlife and some hotels / rentals. Easy to walk around at night if you are going out bar hopping. -Crossroads - Originally a warehouse district near downtown that has now turned into an arts, dining, loft living district. This is where your wedding venue is. -Downtown / Power & Light District - Downtown used to be high rise office buildings but has changed a lot over the past 10 years. There are a lot of traditional hotels and now a bunch of newer boutique hotels. Power & LIght district is a restaurant / entertainment area around the T-Mobile Center (concert venue) with tons of places to eat and drink. -River Market - Historic warehouse area near the river that has now turned into a farmers market, loft living, restaurant area. There of course a lot more neighborhoods, towns, suburbs but all of the above are centrally located and most likely where people will end up. Don’t forget, there is a free streetcar that goes from River Market to Downtown to Crossroads so all 3 areas are easy to get around without a car.
