Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
With the reception being near the oceanfront, there are many options to choose from. We have included a handful of choices in Virginia Beach both near the oceanfront (and within walking distance of the reception) and closer to the inner-city on the "Travel" page. There are many other options that we did not include so please feel free to explore other hotels. AirBnB also seems to have similarly prices options as well.

Can I bring a "plus-one" or guest?
Answer
We kindly ask that you only bring a plus-one if your invitation indicates that you have a guest. If you have any questions or special requests, please contact us.
