Check-In is any time AFTER 3pm. If your room is not ready for you to check-in before bus boarding to the venue starts, please drop off your vehicle at the hotel and have the bus bring you to the venue! You will be able to check into your room when the bus brings everyone back to the hotel after the wedding is over! Start loading the bus! The bus will start leaving the hotel by 3:10pm to bring guests to the venue. The bus will be doing two round trips bringing guests from the hotel to the venue. Please note: The bus will be waiting for pick-up next door at the bowling alley parking lot. We are very adamant about NO DRINKING AND DRIVING for our wedding day so we reserved a big bus to keep our guests safe. Please take advantage by dropping off your vehicles at the hotel before the wedding begins and utilize the bus for transportation to the venue and back to the hotel!
