Our Wedding

Nick and Delaney met in 2020 when things first started opening up after Covid lockdown. Desperate not to be alone during the next Covid wave, they started dating! After falling in love, Delaney convinced Nick to abandon his family in Chicago and move to Denver, CO (it was actually Nick's idea but oh well). The month after moving to Denver, Delaney bullied Nick into getting a dog, and they have been exploring Colorado and the mountains with Sammy Gamgee since.

Q + A

Airports

For those who are flying, the nearest airports are Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Chicago, and Detroit. Kalamazoo airport tends to be very expensive. Grand Rapids is likely the best option in terms of price and location. GR is about 45 minutes to an hour drive to Kalamazoo, so you will need to rent a car. Chicago and Detroit are the largest airports near Kalamazoo but will each be 2-3 hour drives from the hotel.

Hotels

*Shuttle pick up/drop off is at the Radisson Hotel (1 block from the Hilton/Home2). Uber/Lyfts from Almena Pines will be VERY difficult to find

The Hilton is split into Garden Inn and Home2, but they are in the same building. Parking is $20 per day. The last day to book is 8/20/25 or until the block is full

Travel

Nothing better than an Oberon in the fall.

Bell's Brewery

One of our favorite Michigan spots - small, local winery with lots of fruit wine options. Typically open in the afternoons.

Cody Kresta Vineyard & Winery

The hotel will be in the heart of downtown, Kalamazoo. There are tons of places to eat, cafes, shops, a mall, and museums.
