For those of you that are flying, there are regional connections from several larger airports. Flying into the Capital Region International Airport (Lansing) brings you just about where you will need to be. Other options are Bishop (Flint) which is 45 miles away, Gerald R Ford (Grand Rapids) is 60 miles and Detroit Metro is 95 miles from Lansing. For those that are driving follow the signs to campus and you’ll be able to find us .. or maybe use navigation. Either way, we look forward to seeing you all soon!

Go take a stroll! Look at the beautiful gardens on campus.. The W.J. Beal Botanical Gardens have "a collection of over 2,000 plants from around the globe situated in the heart of MSU's campus along the Red Cedar River." The Beal Gardens were where we took Russell on his first weekend out when he was 1-month-old so they hold a special place in our hearts. Or go and have a gin n' tonic at the Peanut Barrel then meet us at the reception!

Well that's a simple fix! Go to the Graduate Rock Bar and enjoy a rooftop snack or beverage, inside or on the patio, then head on downstairs to the reception for 5:30!

Free parking at the ceremony which is located directly across from the entrance of the chapel. As for the reception, the Graduate will valet your car for a fee or you may use one of the public parking structures.

Block reservations must be made at a minimum of 30 days in advance. After that time, if they have an excess of rooms available the Graduate may release more. You might consider getting yours early if you'd like to stay at the reception site, and the block rate only saves about 20-30 per room, however there are many available options in the immediate area such as other hotels or Air BnB/VRBO.

Please stick to your invite.. we have a much smaller space than we would’ve liked so the bride and groom will gladly fill any available spots with our own family.
