Minneapolis - St Paul International Airport (MSP) is located just 15 miles from our hotel options and venue with direct flights from all major airports. Ubers, Lyfts and taxis are widely available, so no rental car is needed if not preferred. Fly in on Thursday to spend more time in the beautiful Twin Cities, or fly in on Friday morning with plenty of time to spare before our 4:30pm ceremony!
Rental Car
Ubers, Lyfts and taxis are widely available in Minneapolis/St. Paul, so a rental car is not required. If a rental car is preferred, you can pick one up at MSP Airport upon arrival.
