Flight
Consider flying out on September 1st since you will arrive to Amsterdam a day later. You'll most likely fly at night and arrive the next day early in the morning. Depending on the length of your stay (since some will extend) prices may vary For the bare minimum of Aug 29th - Sept 30th the average cost is from $800.00+ round trip. Look on different search engines, our favorite is Expedia because of the hotel/flight bundles.
Hotel
The wedding and all other outings will be held in the busiest place in Amsterdam, the downtown area! When looking for an AirBnB or Hotel, make sure you’re within the downtown area (Amsterdam City Centre) for easy transportation and proximity. You can also reference the Double Tree CS location where the Boat will be departing from the day of the wedding. Also, make sure your hotel has A/C if it is a priority for you. It's Europe and not every hotel has A/C. We will be staying at Hotel Estherea in Amsterdam city center if you would like to be close to us. However, feel free to explore and stay in a place that best suits your needs and budget!
