Question
Is transportation provided?
Answer
Yes, transportation will be provided from the Home2 Suites to the venue and back. The buses will pick up at Home2Suites at 3:50pm- be in the lobby early. The buses will not be making another round back to the hotel prior to the ceremony. At the end of the night, shuttles will depart the venue at 10pm and 11pm. There will not be transportation provided after 11pm or before 10pm, so if you plan to leave early please make your own arrangements. Please be sure to book under our room blocks so we can account for you in transportation!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We hope everyone has fun dressing up for a night out! Please wear what makes you comfortable but we’d love to see you get into the vibe with us-- garden party vibes are perfect! We love all spring colors!! Comfortable shoes are recommended as the ceremony will be outdoors in the lawn. A light sweater or jacket is also encouraged!
