Is there parking available at the venue?

Yes, there is a parking lot with ample space at the venue. However, if you plan on celebrating with our open bar, please take advantage of our complimentary transit options to and from SpringHill Suites! You can find more information under the "travel" page. Our venue is located up winding, dark, mountainous roads, and we find it highly unlikely that Ubers/Lyfts would be able to get you from our venue. As such, please use our shuttle service if you think you may be drinking. If you do find that you enjoyed a few more drinks than you were planning, and you need to leave your car in the venue's parking lot over night, that is fine--they just ask that it is moved by 9 AM the next day.

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony begins to settle in before we start promptly at 4:00.

Are my kids invited?

Though we would love to celebrate with ALL of our loved ones, we ask that only the members of your family listed on the invitation attend.

Do I have a plus one?

Due to limited space, we were not able to give every guest a plus one. However, we have done our very best to seat everyone with people that they already know and/or have a lot of similarities with!

Will we be inside or outside?

Weather permitting, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside, and the reception will be inside. In the event of rain, everything will be moved inside.

What should I wear?

We would love for all of our friends and family to dress up with us, so we are asking for cocktail/garden party attire. Dresses, suits (with or without ties), sport coats, sun dresses, cocktail dresses, dress shirt and tie, jumpsuits, etc. all welcome!

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! Please enjoy all drinks on us, just plan your transportation home safely and appropriately, as access to Ubers/Lyfts is likely very limited from our somewhat remote venue location. See our information on complimentary shuttle service on our "travel" page if you'd like to have a safe, free guaranteed ride!

Is the venue handicap accessible?

Yes, the venue is fully accessible for all parts of the day.

Do you have hotel room blocks arranged?

Yes. Please see our "travel" page on this website for discounted rates on hotel rooms in the area.

Is there transportation provided from the listed hotels to the venue (and back)?

Yes! There will be buses provided to take you to and from the hotels that are listed under the "travel" page of our website--the SpringHill Suites and the Hampton. We would love for our guests to enjoy themselves, and if that means having a few drinks, please take advantage of our free transportation options! Buses will leave the hotel at 3:00, 3:15, and 3:30. Return service will run at 9:00, 9:30, and 10:00.

I'm flying in. Which airport is most convenient?

Harrisburg International Airport is very nearby the venue and hotels, and would likely be most convenient. However, sometimes the costs of flying into smaller airports are far higher. If that's the case, the Philadelphia Airport is about a three-hour train ride away from Harrisburg. You could get an Amtrak ticket from Philadelphia (30th Street Station) to Harrisburg. To get to 30th Street Station from the airport, you can get the "Airport Line" Septa train towards Center City and get off at the 30th Street Station stop. Additionally, you could also rent a car from the Philadelphia Airport. The drive is about two and a half hours long, and there is free parking at the hotels.

I'm taking public transit to Harrisburg. What's the easiest route?

Amtrak has a stop in Harrisburg that is very convenient. You can then get a short Uber, Lyft, or taxi ride to the hotels--only about 15 minutes away.
