Wedding Party

Airport and hotel recommendations for those traveling from near and far. Spring in Charlottesville tends to be quite busy, so don't hesitate to book whenever you're ready!

This is the closest airport to the venue (30 min). It's small and a connecting flight will likely be necessary. The Richmond International Airport is also nearby (1 hour). The most convenient way to get around throughout the weekend will be by car (Uber, rental, etc.).

Charlottesville–Albemarle Airport (CHO)

Of the 3 major DC area airports, Dulles is the closest to our wedding venue (2 hours). That said, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is just a bit further and still good to consider. Keep in mind that Amtrak has trains from Union Station in DC to Charlottesville, if you prefer that option.

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)

The Clifton Inn is ours for the weekend! Immediate family and wedding party will be staying onsite. We will reach out with details; please do not book on your own.

This hotel is a 5 minute drive from our venue (shuttle service will be provided on wedding day - see FAQs for details). Feel free to look into Airbnb/VRBO options as well, particularly for larger groups!

Travel & Hotels

Charlottesville is our favorite place in the world! It's where our love story began, and we can't wait to share it with you. Make the most of your trip by experiencing some of the things we've listed below. There is no shortage of fun to be had in the home of the Hoos!

Stroll through downtown Charlottesville’s pedestrian mall and enjoy its shops and restaurants. Highlights include Citizen Burger, Mudhouse, Whiskey Jar, and Alley Light.

Historic Downtown Mall

Peruse the historic grounds of Thomas Jefferson’s university (aka our alma mater!). Notable locations include the Pavilion Gardens, Lawn, and Rotunda. Take a quick walk over to the Corner for food and drinks. Don't miss Marco &amp; Luca Dumplings, Take it Away, Boylan Heights, and Bodo’s Bagels.

University of Virginia

Discover a major part of Charlottesville's charm by enjoying exceptional local wines at scenic spots nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We particularly love Pippin Hill Farm &amp; Vineyards, Afton Mountain Vineyards, Blenheim Vineyards, Jefferson Vineyards, and Bold Rock Cidery.

Wineries, Breweries, and Cideries

Explore the picturesque home of Thomas Jefferson, located just a short drive from downtown Charlottesville. History buffs can also check out James Monroe’s Highland, adjacent to Monticello.

Monticello

Enjoy a beautiful hike with stunning views of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys. Popular at both sunrise and sunset, it features short and long trail length options.

Humpback Rocks

Take a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, renowned for its breathtaking vistas and serene landscapes. Stop by one of the breweries along the way for fuel.
