Question

What Is The Weather Like In March?

Answer

March in Atlanta is typically pretty mild. Recently, the first weekend in March has seen temperatures ranging from 55-75 degrees during the day, with night time temperatures being cooler. Be sure to check the weather closer to the wedding to prepare. It's unlikely, but we may get a fluke snow day or an early heat wave of 90 degree weather. You never know in Atlanta!

Question

Do I Need to Rent a Car?

Answer

This is entirely up to you. Atlanta is a sprawling city that is very car dependent. That said, Uber, Lyft, and taxis can be used to navigate the city and may be cheaper than a rental car. Plus, you won't have to worry about parking, which can be a hassle at tourist destinations. If you do decide to rent a car, the major brands are available at the airport. There is also an Enterprise Rent-A-Car at the Emory Conference Center Hotel.

Question

What is Semi-Formal Attire?

Question

Will There Be a Name Change?
