Q + A

This is our local airport, and the closest to the Venue! ORF

Norfolk International Airport

Located in the North End of the Oceanfront, 13 min from venue

Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Located 4 min from the venue, and 15-20 min from airport. Beachfront and walking distance to venue!

Delta Hotels Virginia Beach Waterfront

BEACH HOUSE RENTAL If you are looking into renting a beach house for your time here we would suggest Chic's Beach, as this is the beach the venue sits on, the street is Shore Dr! If not Chic's, then East Beach, Norfolk! Shore Dr. is the street that the Venue sits on, and would be most convenient for commuting to and from the venue. There are lots of place to go out to eat and grab drinks. East Beach is a beautiful residential area, calmer than Shore Dr. but still places to grab food!

Located in the Town Center area of VA beach. All walkable town area with restaurants and shops. 15 min from airport, 15 min from venue and 5+ miles to a beach

East beach

This is one of Layne's favorite places! Half of the brewery is a coffee shop and half is a brewery! It is self-pour style all on tap, you can choose how much you want of one drink, or do a flight! They have all kinds of beers, ciders, wines, and cocktails. Everything is made in house! Their coffee is also delicious! On the coffee shop side they have all kinds of amazing baked goods from muffins, cookies, cupcakes, and danishes... to gourmet pretzels and vegan/gf cheesecake!

Go hang out on the very beach Eli proposed at! This is also the same beach Layne grew up going to and working at! Hang out for a fun beach day or bring a blanket and some dinner for a cute picnic!

Sandbridge Beach

If you are looking for fun water activities this is the place to go! Boat rides, jet ski rentals, pontoon rentals, wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing, kayaks, paddle boards, and good vibes! Seriously, so fun!!

Virginia Beach Watersports

Looking for a fun night activity with good food and drink? Waterside is the perfect place for a group who all want something different to eat and drink! A fun eatery on the water with live music!
