Where am I Staying, and How Do I Get to the Wedding?

As you prepare for your journey, a few key considerations can ensure your experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible from the moment you arrive to your fond farewell. 

Am I Staying at Zion Springs or at a Hotel?

Upon receiving your invitation, details about your accommodation will specify whether you are staying onsite at Zion Springs or at a nearby hotel. Should there be any confusion or further questions, the wedding website offers detailed information, and reaching out directly to the wedding couple is always a welcome approach for clarification. 

Rest assured, if your stay is arranged at Zion Springs, the couple will inform you of your assigned room. Similarly, if your accommodation is at an off-site hotel, they will provide all the necessary details to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Shuttle Pick Up and Drop Off

Shuttle schedules are designed to accommodate the event's timeline and usually, there are two pick up and drop off times between your hotel and Zion Springs. If you need to leave earlier or later, it's best to communicate your needs in advance to explore possible arrangements.
