Question
Where should we park?
Answer

Question
Is transportation available?
Answer
Yes, bus transportation will be available on the day of the wedding to and from the Hampton Hotel. The bus will arrive at the hotel to bring people to the ceremony at 4:30 p.m.! The bus will then transport people from the ceremony to reception site and back to hotel at the end of the evening. If you are not staying at the hotel, you can still take the bus! At the end of the evening, we recommend anyone not driving takes the bus to the hotel and from there, various ride-share options (Lyft, Uber) can be used to travel to your final destination. Please note that while you can often use a ride-share to get to Manakin road, it is often difficult to get a ride-share to pick you up from Manakin Road. Don't get stranded! Anyone is welcome to leave their cars at farm, hunt club, or hotel overnight as needed!
