Book Early! Coordinate with friends and family. Vrbo and Airbnbs have great spaces, so get a place for your group to save some money (and maximize fun!).*
Stay the whole weekend. We know you're super busy, but we'd love for you to be there the whole weekend. If you can, book a place for Thursday through Sunday and get in as much Baltimore time as you can. For out-of-towners, we'll be hosting a brunch Sunday morning!
We recommended using Google Travel to find the best rates. If driving, double-check on your hotel's parking accommodations.
*If using Airbnb I recommended booking in the neighborhood of Bolton Hill or Mt Vernon. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Also, because of the many moving pieces, our homes will not be available for guests.
Southwest has the best deals to Baltimore-Washington International (BWI). Baltimore is about a 20 minute drive from BWI airport or 30 minute train ride. If its in your budget we recommend renting a car so you can explore all the DMV has to offer.
Ride share prices fluctuate however average rates are $40 one way from BWI to downtown Baltimore. Within Baltimore there are a number of free bus lines as well as a lightrail system. Minus rehearsal dinner, all events will take place within walking distance, in Mt Vernon, Baltimore
We recommend Amtrak for those coming from DC, New York, Philadelphia, and Jersey.
There is a train system and a lightrail system that travels from BWI to Baltimore City's Penn station (located 8ight blocks from the venue, 5ive blocks from the send off breakfast).
Its recommended that larger groups caravan to Baltimore.
For those coming from the Atlanta area, Baltimore is approximately an 11 hour drive up 85/95. La has made the trip in 9, but he's has a heavy foot.
There is street and parking garages near the venue.
