Flight
JAX is the airport I would suggest flying into. It's located 1.5 hrs from Gainesville. It's never really busy and it's right off the interstate to get to Gainesville. To rent a car, there are plenty of available rental companies at the airport near the baggage pick-up area. Please note that there is a speed trap town from Jacksonville to Gainesville - please be mindful of speed limits!
Flight
Small regional airport in Gainesville. Usually American Airlines and Delta airlines fly here. There are direct flights from Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Dallas-Fort Worth. May be more expensive but lands you directly in town.
Flight
Airport about 2 hrs south of Gainesville. In our experience there can be more flights that fly through here and are slightly cheaper. There are rental cars available to be able to drive to Gainesville. Downfall is having to drive through Orlando lol
Hotel
Standard Holiday Inn hotel. We've stayed here before and have had a great time. Close to Target, the new shopping centers, and Cracker Barrel. Chick Fil-A is a short drive. This is probably about 1mi or less to our wedding/reception venues along Archer Rd.

Feel free to stay at one of these, and please note the address of the ceremony and reception to plan accordingly if you'd like to stay close to the action. Recs for places to stay: - "Duckpond" area: Located in downtown Gainesville, charming little community near the Bed and Breakfast district - Anywhere near the university is probably the closest to the ceremony and the reception
