Travel

Air travelIf you are flying in, there are two options: Detroit-Wayne International Airport (DTW) and Toledo Express Airport. Detroit offers far more flight options and will generally be more affordable. Most flights into Toledo Express have a stopover in Chicago. It's about a 45-minute drive from the Detroit Airport to downtown Toledo. For that trip, you have three options: - Rent a car or <a href="https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/yicjea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">carpool</a>- Take a <a href="https://www.froggytransportation.com/bus-fares" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Froggy Transportation shuttle</a> for $32.99 one-way- Take a taxi/Lyft/Uber (estimated $88 one-way; not recommended) Driving and want to share the love? Looking for a ride? Check out the <a href="https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/yicjea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Group Carpool site</a> for our wedding weekend!

Accommodations

The Hilton Garden Inn Toledo Downtown will be our main hotel for the wedding weekend. It's in the heart of downtown, overlooking Mud Hens stadium, surrounded by restaurants, and is near the lovely river walk. Rooms are available starting at $130 per night. We're not doing a block because the nightly rate was somehow more expensive that way (y tho?) so we recommend booking sooner than later. We will offer a shuttle to and from the Hilton before the ceremony and after the reception.

Recommended hotel: Hilton Garden Inn Toledo Downtown
