Travel

The Outer Banks has plenty of great places to stay, from oceanfront hotels to cozy beach houses. We’ve reserved a hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk, where guests will receive 20% off everything at the hotel, including rooms, food, and drinks. Traveling with a group? Renting a house nearby through Airbnb or VRBO is also a great option. If you go this route, we kindly ask that you stay within a short drive of the Hilton Garden Inn, as the Outer Banks is larger than it looks. Just because it says “OBX” doesn’t mean it’s close — be sure to double-check location details before booking!

FAQs

The Wedding Website of Patrick Olsen and Christy Dixey
Question

Will Zeppy be attending?

Answer

No.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

No.

Question

What is the closest airport?

Answer

Norfolk International (ORF) is your best bet. From there, it’s about a 90-minute drive to OBX.

Question

Is transportation provided?

Answer

Sadly, our yacht is still in the shop. We recommend carpooling, or renting a car.

Question

Will there be parking at the venue?

Answer

Yep, there’s plenty of parking near the pier. Just follow the signs to ensure legal parking.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We’ve got a hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk — complete with discounts and beach views. Group beach houses are also great, just don’t accidentally book a place two hours away. OBX is long. Like, really long.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Beach formal — which basically means look nice, but don’t suffer. Think sundresses, linen, breezy button-downs, and shoes you won’t lose between the pier boards (block heels). If you show up in a tux, we will hand you a margarita and tell you to relax.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes. Beer & wine. Hydrate accordingly. Make wise choices. You will be on camera for years to come.

Question

Is there a backup plan for rain?

Answer

Yes. It's called optimism and umbrellas. Bring both. (In all seriousness, inside the pier house is the back up plan).

Question

Did Patrick write these FAQs?

Answer

Yes. :-)
