Travel Note
We have reserved room blocks with special rates at the following hotels. These hotels are conveniently located next to one another, so you can coordinate with family and friends. Transportation will be provided to and from the wedding from these hotels. Details regarding the specific schedule will be posted on the "Schedule" tab at the top of this website page. We have limited rooms available for our rate at each of the hotels. If you need a hotel room for the weekend, we ask that you book as soon as your attendance is certain due to many guests traveling from out of state. Please pay close attention to the cut off dates, as it varies by each hotel option. Important note: If you plan to arrive in the Salem area Friday, both hotels have 4:00 PM check-in times. As the last shuttle will leave the Salem Convention Center at 4:15 PM, we realize this offers a short time frame to check-in and be ready to leave for the wedding. We have addressed this issue with the hotels. If you plan to arrive Friday, the hotels have said they will do their best to prioritize early check-in for wedding guests. Please call the hotels and reference your Friday arrival to guarantee early check-in, ahead of time. If you have any problems, please contact the bride and groom.
