Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Please visit our travel page for local hotel room blocks and Airbnb suggestions. Shuttle transportation will be provided from select lodging locations the day of the wedding.

Question

When should I book my accommodations?

Answer

We recommend booking your stay as early as possible. It’s a small town with only a handful of hotels and vacation rentals, and they fill up quickly in the summer. If you’re staying at our recommended hotel, you can reserve your room now and won’t be charged until 48 hours before check-in.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes! Shuttle transportation will be provided to & from the venue from our designated hotels. We highly recommend renting a car for transportation to and from the airport, as rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are not readily available in the area.

Question

Which airport should I fly into?

Answer

Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids, MI is about an hour away. Please check out our Travel tab for more information about travel and lodging!

Question

What’s the weather like in June?

Answer

June in Newaygo, Michigan, is typically beautiful, with warm, sunny days and cooler evenings. Daytime temperatures average in the mid-to-upper 70s, while evenings can dip into the 50s and 60s. Our ceremony will be held outdoors, followed by an indoor reception. We recommend bringing a light layer for the evening and checking the forecast before packing, as Michigan weather can be a little unpredictable!

Question

I have dietary restrictions, can you accommodate?

Answer

We’ll be serving a buffet-style dinner with a variety of options. Please be sure to note any food allergies or dietary restrictions when submitting your RSVP so we can do our best to accommodate everyone!

Question

When is the RSVP deadline

Answer

Kindly RSVP by March 1st, 2027. While our final RSVP deadline is March 1, 2027, we would greatly appreciate an early, tentative response to help us coordinate with our vendors and lodging accommodations. We understand plans can change, so your tentative RSVP is not a final commitment! You’re welcome to update your response anytime before the final deadline.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For the welcome event: Casual attire; a fun, summery outfit! Think sundresses, matching sets, linen, and lightweight fabrics. Keep it casual, cute, and comfortable! For the wedding: We’d love for you to join us in summer semi-formal attire. Midi or maxi dresses, lightweight suits and dress pants with a button-down. Summer colors, florals, and linen are all welcome! Our ceremony will take place outdoors on the lawn, followed by an indoor reception. We recommend choosing shoes suitable for grass and bringing a light layer for cooler evening temperatures.

Question

Will there be wedding events besides the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes! Join us at Smuggler’s on Thursday, June 3rd for a casual evening of drinks & mingling! We’d love to see you as you get into town and kick off the wedding weekend together!

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate the guests formally listed on your invitation. If a plus-one has been included, their name or “and Guest” will appear on your invitation.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, we’ve decided to keep our wedding an adults-only celebration, with the exception of immediate family members participating in the wedding. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!

Question

Are you registered anywhere?

Answer

Yes! You can find the link under the Registry tab on our website. https://www.zola.com/wedding/zachandcampbell/registry

Question

The room block is full, do you have another option for accommodations?

Answer

We’ve reserved an additional room block at Hotel Rose in Rockford, Michigan, about 45 minutes from the venue. Shuttle service is unavailable from Hotel Rose, so guests staying there will need to arrange their own transportation. If you’d prefer to stay closer to the venue, we recommend checking Airbnb and Vrbo early, as local options are limited.
