Flight

Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport

Atlanta is our main airport. From here, we recommend two options: 1) Renting a car from the airport and driving down 1 hour and 15 mins to Macon. 2) Using the Groome Transportation Shuttle service to/from the airport and utilizing Uber or Lyft locally in Macon. Scroll down to bottom of page to learn more about Groome + Uber/Lyft.

Hotel

Wingate by Wyndham Macon

The Wingate by Wyndham is our top recommended hotel for our wedding weekend. It is located just 10 minutes from our wedding venue and conveniently located off exit 169 from I-75 and near Kroger and several of our go-to restaurants. Includes free breakfast, free wifi, free parking, and an outdoor pool (weather permitting!). Restaurants nearby: Cracker Barrel Papouli's Greek & Mediterranean Cafe Pedro's Tacos & Tequila Bar Sumo Sushi Pho Cali Culver's for backyard burgers, fish 'n chips & custard Mandarin Chinese Restaurant Starbucks Chick-fil-A McDonald's + Wendy's + Five Guys

Hotel

1842 Inn

For those who wish to splurge a little and enjoy some historic Southern hospitality, we recommend the beautiful 1842 Inn downtown! (Fun fact: Oprah and Steven Spielberg stayed here while they filmed the new "The Color Purple" movie!)

Hotel

Hotel 45

We also recommend Hotel 45, a historic boutique hotel in downtown. The hotel got its name because it's located on a unique 45-degree angle that is the result of Cotton Avenue's diagonal trajectory through Macon, which was "an urban design ahead of its time that made transportation of cotton barges to and from the river possible." We also love this hotel for its restaurant, Loom, and the Hightales Rooftop Bar!

Travel Note

Uber, Lyft + Groome Transportation

For those preferring not to rent a car, Uber and Lyft are available in Macon, and Groome Transportation service is available for round trip pick up/drop-off from Atlanta to Macon. Check out groometransportation.com for more info. A tip: save $10 by booking online versus over the phone.
