AIR TRAVEL
Austin-Bergstrom Airport (AUS) is the closest airport to the recommended hotel, the ceremony and reception site, and downtown Austin. If you are traveling from San Antonio, Houston or Dallas airports, it is advisable to rent a car to travel to Austin.
TRANSPORTATION
Uber and Lyft both are reliable means to transportation within the Austin area. Both services will drive to and from Prospect House. If you prefer to rent a car, it is advisable that you reserve well in advance due to the American Thanksgiving holiday. On the wedding day, a shuttle will be available to transport those staying at the recommended hotel to and from Prospect House. To catch the shuttle, please be in the hotel lobby no later than 3:15 pm. After the reception, you can catch the shuttle back to the hotel at 8:30 pm or 11 pm.
HOTEL
We will be reserving rooms at the Courtyard Marriott Downtown. These will be available on a first come, first serve basis so we recommend booking early! Located in the heart of downtown Austin, the Courtyard Marriott is a short walk to wonderful restaurants, bars and museums. Parking can be difficult downtown so we do recommend taking advantage of Uber and Lyft.
AUSTIN
There is always something to do in Austin! For those interested in sightseeing, these websites are a great start to plan your pre-or post-wedding activities: 512Austin, 365 Things Austin, Texas State History Museum, Blanton Museum of Art, Visit Austin.
CHILDREN
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate children at the rehearsal dinner (for wedding party), ceremony or reception. If you plan to travel with your kids, Fairy Godsitters will come to your hotel to babysit! They come highly recommended and reviews can be found here.
