Hotel
The Birchwood is a boutique hotel and is our venue for the entire day. You are welcome to stay here if you would like but they have very limited availability.
Travel Note
Parking near The Birchwood can be difficult on a Saturday, so we encourage you to support the local gig economic machine and use Uber or Lyft. Heck, why not splurge for a premium ride and arrive in style! Should you choose to drive yourself, The Birchwood is located right along Beach Drive and 4th Avenue NE with some valet parking and self-parking nearby. Allow extra time to find parking before the ceremony.
Flight
TPA will have the most flight options for you to choose from and is Tampa Bay’s largest airport; it is also conveniently located about 30 minutes away from St. Petersburg, just across the Bay! PIE (yes that’s its actual FAA code) is in St. Petersburg, but is somehow 20 minutes away still. PIE’s upside is it is accessible via Allegiant Air direct from Grand Rapids! Choose your own adventure! (But we recommend TPA.)
