Shuttle
February 21, 2026 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Our venue offers a shuttle service to transport guests from several of the local hotels and cabins to The Venue at the Pines on our wedding day. The shuttle will do pick-ups and drop-offs at The Groovy Nomad, Cabins to Castles, Paradise Pointe, and Dogwood Hills Golf Resort. Text Sydney at (605) 695-4834 by December 21, 2025 to reserve a spot on the shuttles! We will have more details on when and how often the shuttles will run once we determine how many people are interested. NOTE: Bryant, Alabama is in a fairly rural region. While there may be a few Lyfts available, our venue owners have informed us that there are no Uber drivers in the area. Because of that, we strongly encourage anyone who anticipates having an "adult beverage" (or a few) to reserve a spot on the shuttle or arrange for a designated driver. Each shuttle has a set amount of seats, and while we plan to be able to accommodate everyone who would like to be shuttled to and from the venue, if you do not reserve a spot ahead of time and find yourself in need of a ride home, there is no guarantee that there will be an extra open spot on the shuttles. Additionally, our venue does not allow cars to be parked overnight. We want everyone to have a fun time celebrating with us, but we also want all of you to get home safely, so if you think you may have a few drinks, please plan accordingly!
