The drive is about 13 hours long and while you can make it in one day, you will not make it to the wedding on time if you travel the day of

You can fly to the wedding BUT there is not an airport that can be flown into in Battle Creek. You would either need to fly into Kalamazoo (which is the closest), Detroit, or Grand Rapids. There is an airline that has recently decided to start doing flights directly to and from North Carolina (airline details under travel). *Please Note: if you do plan on flying in, you will need to find a way to get from the airport to Battle Creek. If you do fly, you can reach out the Esther and she can potentially find someone to pick you up BUT you would need to do let her know now and we can't send someone to pick you up if you come in the day of the wedding or the night before. Otherwise, please plan on either renting a car or using a car service.
