Our Story

Travel

Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal (BMI) is about an hour away from Champaign and the easiest to navigate! We recommend flying into this airport if you are able to find a flight that works with your schedule. For larger airports with more flight options, you can also fly into either of the two Chicago International Airports, Midway (MDW) and O’Hare (ORD), or Indianapolis International Airport (IND). These are about a 2 hour drive from Champaign. University of Illinois Willard Airport (CMI) is located just 15 minutes from our ceremony location. It is the smallest option, so flight options may be limited. There is a shuttle service available if you choose to stay with our wedding block at the Hyatt Place in downtown Champaign.
