Travel Note

Transportation

We are recommending for our out-of-town guests to utilize Uber and Ride-Share apps. The hotels provided above are 10-15 minutes to the wedding venue (Frederik Meijer Gardens). That being said, we HIGHLY recommend that everyone using a Ride-Share schedules their transportation ahead of time and for their rides to pick them up 30-45 minutes before the wedding ceremony begins. With it being Art-Prize the weekend of our wedding, and a Saturday, it is unpredictable what the traffic will be like. However, we know and are confident that there will be no shortage of Ubers or Ride-Shares so we do not want anyone to worry about that. If you choose to carpool amongst one another or rent a car, that is up to you. But please ensure that you are making it to the ceremony with time to spare.
