Flight

Pensacola International Airport

The Pensacola Airport, located in Pensacola, Florida, is approximately 57 miles from Fairhope's city center. It's not a bad drive, to be honest. You are on I-75 for a good chunk of it, and then pretty much in Fairhope.

Flight

Mobile Regional Airport

The Mobile Regional Airport is approximately 39 miles from Fairhope's city center. The drive is pretty comparable to Pensacola, but the groom says he prefers Pensacola (or whichever is cheaper).

Travel Note

Arts and Crafts Festival

Our wedding is during Fairhope's Annual Arts and Crafts Festival. This is a three-day event where artists from all over the country come and set up shop in the heart of downtown. It is very cool and definitely worth checking out if you have time. However, please note that this can cause issues from securing lodging and travel.

Travel Note

Limited Availability of Uber/Cabs

Fairhope is a pretty small town, so the availability of Ubers and cabs is very limited. While it is a pain, we encourage you to rent a vehicle and carpool with friends. You can also look into shuttles that run from the airport, but these can be quite pricey.
