The wedding is is Black Tie (color invited!), but please consider the hot Atlanta weather! Think tuxedos or dark suits, formal dresses and jumpsuits. The ceremony will be outside, weather permitting, and guests will be walking on grass. The reception will be indoors.
Wear anything you'd wear out to a nice dinner!
Buses will pick up guests at the Moxy, Four Seasons, and Loews Hotels departing promptly at 4:45 PM. We recommend: ~Guests who are not staying at a room block hotel who would like to take transportation take the bus from any hotel. ~Guests with limited walking mobility/concerned about walking from the parking lot to the venue take the bus from the Loews (this is a smaller bus that is able to get a bit closer to the venue). ~Guests staying at the AC, Moxy, or Epicurean hotels take the bus departing from the Moxy Hotel on 13th Street. ~Guests staying at the Marriott Suites or Four Seasons hotels take the bus departing from the Four Seasons on 14th Street. ~Guests staying at the Loews Hotel take the bus departing from the Loews.
You do not need a car to attend the wedding events, but are welcome to bring one. We will be providing transportation to the ceremony and reception from hotels in Midtown. In addition, car share services are always an option. DragonCon offers discounts for the weekend on rental cars: https://www.dragoncon.org/travel/transportation/
Yes, there is free parking at the Atlanta History Center.

Most guests plan to stay in Midtown. The Midtown hotels are all close to each other and transportation will be provided to the venue. The Welcome Drinks are in Midtown and in walking distance to Midtown hotels. Buckhead is a nice area and close to the wedding venue. However, buses will not depart from the Buckhead hotels (St. Regis is a 5 minute walk or 2 minute drive; Intercontinental is a 5-7 minute drive).
All of our wedding events (except King of Pops) are adult-only, with the exception of a few immediate family members. We have contact information for babysitters and are happy to help you find one!
