Getting Around
There are several rental car options in the area.
Uber and Lyft are also plentiful in Jackson and relatively inexpensive.
Of note, we will have a complimentary school bus making one trip from the Westin to the ceremony site at St. Francis of Assisi, departing at 1:30 pm. It will return to the Westin following the ceremony.
Walking in downtown Jackson is safe during the day. At night, we recommend walking in groups. Driving at night is perfectly safe.
