We understand right now that traveling is more difficult and expensive than usual for many people.

If possible, consider carpooling with other guests you know that are traveling from near your location / renting lodging together to save some money if possible.

If you are flying in, it would be in your best interest to reserve a rental car for your stay. We will be busy preparing for our big day in the days leading up to the wedding, so we will not be able to help people get around very much.

We also recommend reserving your lodging ASAP since our area is so rural, limiting near-by options, and October can be a busy month for tourism to our national forests.

If you have any questions or concerns about travel or lodging, please reach out to us!

Our home here in Illinois is right in the middle of the Shawnee National Forest! There are tons of cabin options nestled in the gorgeous scenery that you can rent for the weekend for yourself or your traveling group. We would love to know our wedding guests not only enjoyed our day, but that they had a relaxing getaway as well!

We recommend booking your cabin stay as soon as you are able to, as the start of the fall season begins peak tourism season in this area for cabins and can book out pretty far in advance. Cabins can be an extra fun and affordable option if you are carpooling with or meeting other friends for the wedding! Here are a few suggestions, but there are many more! Let us know if you have any questions!
