Travel Note
Transportation
The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow is located inside a state park, which normally has a $10 entrance fee. However, just tell the attendant you are attending a wedding at The Pavilion, the fee will be waived and you’ll be allowed in. Guests will be responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the venue. The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow is a ~20-minute drive from the Hyatt Regency, and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are generally available in the area. Please note that because the venue is located within a state park, rideshare availability may be more limited late at night following the reception. We recommend carpooling, scheduling a ride, or allowing extra time for pickup at the end of the evening.
