Our ceremony begins promptly at 3 o'clock. Cocktail hour begins at 5 o'clock. From the time our ceremony ends to the start of cocktail hour, you may stay on site and mingle while enjoying a cash bar, head over to the hotel lobby and relax, head back to your hotel room to freshen up, or explore the surrounding area. Open bar will start when cocktail hour begins and continue the rest of the night.

Question

Will transportation be provided between the to and from the hotel, ceremony and reception?

Answer

Novella's and the hotel we are planning to work with are located within steps of one another . One of the main reasons we chose Novella's was because of how close it was to the hotel. It is less than a minute's walk to get from Novella's to the hotel. We want everyone to enjoy our wedding and not have to worry about a ride to the hotel.

Answer

We are working with a nearby hotel to create a room block. Once the hotel block has been secured, you can find all the details under the "Travel" tab.

We will miss celebrating with you! We need to provide our venue with exact numbers by a certain date, so please don't RSVP late!
