Chelsea and Tyler - May 9, 2026
Things To Do Around Birmingham
Back Forty Beer Company Birmingham
Back Forty is a fantastic brewery in Birmingham with great food, drinks and outdoor space. Highly recommend if you want to get a good beer.
Vulcan Park and Museum
Visit The Vulcan for a spectacular view of downtown Birmingham!
Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum
The Vintage Barber Motorsports Museum is heaven for any car or motorcycle lover. Highly recommend spending an afternoon here if you're an aficionado!
Momma Goldberg's Deli
Momma G's is an Auburn staple that Chelsea consumed on a regular basis in college. They've got the bests turkey subs in the world! Please order the nachos when you go - you won't regret it! Momma G's is within walking distance of both hotels.
Big Bad Breakfast
Big Bad Breakfast is right across the street from the Aloft hotel, but within walking distance of The Valley too. Highly recommend for a fantastic southern breakfast!
Little Donkey Méxican Restaurant | Homewood
If you're looking for a nicer, sit down restaurant within walking distance of both hotels, Little Donkey is a great spot to get fantastic Mexican food and margs!
OHenry's Coffees
O'Henry's is a Birmingham staple, and in my opinion the best coffee in the area. Highly recommend grabbing a quick cup the morning before the wedding so you're nice and energized to dance the night away!
Birmingham Botanical Gardens
Birmingham’s famous botanical garden will be in full bloom in May. With a gorgeous rose garden, Japanese garden, café and shop, you can easily spend an afternoon here.
Mountain Brook Village
Birmingham has two completely walkable neighborhoods. You’re staying in one of them - Homewood. The other is Mountain Brook Village. Shops, restaurants and boutiques abound, along with the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
Davenport's Pizza Palace - Mtn Brook
Davenport's Pizza is in Mountain Brook Village (recommended above) and is arguably the best pizza in Birmingham. This tavern-style pizza joint is very casual and has an arcade room with vintage Pac-Man machines.
