There will be a dinner in Charlottesville on Friday, the night before the wedding (place TBD), as well as an 11:00 am brunch at the Omni in Downtown Charlottesville on Sunday, the day after the wedding.

We recommend that everyone stay in Charlottesville, Virginia, as that is where the other wedding events will be taking place. We will be providing shuttle transportation to and from the wedding ceremony and reception.

We have blocked 25 rooms at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Charlottesville, and 19 rooms at the South Street Inn, both within walking distance of the Downtown Pedestrian Mall.
