If you are coming from out of town, we suggest to get a rental car from the Airport, located near baggage claim. It's a 45 minute drive from the Airport to the Church, a 15 minute drive from the Church to the Reception Venue, and a 20 minute drive from the Venue to the Hotel, so you'll need a car to get around.
