Travel Note
Where to stay for a stress-free celebration! While you’re welcome to stay wherever you’d like, we recommend booking a hotel downtown for the ultimate convenience. Not only will you be just about 6 miles from the airport, but you'll also be close enough to walk to all the wedding festivities and easily make your way home once the celebration wraps up. Being downtown means you'll have easy access to great food, drinks, and all the fun the area has to offer, plus you'll be right in the heart of the action. It’s the perfect spot for a stress-free, fun-filled weekend!
