The Wedding Website of Shannon Smith and Kyle Baker
For our Irish guests that are traveling for our wedding, we are so excited and honored to be able to celebrate with you on our big day. Below, you will find our recommendations for what airports to fly into and how to get to our venue. There are many options you can explore so if you do have any questions please reach out to my maid of honor, Colleen. For all of our guests, there are a variety of accommodation options in the surrounding area including hotels, AirBnBs, and Bed and Breakfasts. Please find some of the top recommendations from our venue below. Lastly, we will be blocking rooms at a hotel in Charlottesville and will be offering transportation from this hotel to the venue and back. We will add additional information about these when they have been finalized.

his hotel is offering a discounted rate for wedding guests and it is 10 minute drive from downtown. NOTE FROM THE HOTEL: Please keep in mind that this link provides a set discount off of the regular rate at the time of booking so room rates will fluctuate as the regular rate goes up or down. I'd say the sooner your family and friends can book, the better. We have a 24 hour cancellation, so the reservations can always be changed or cancelled later if need be, but it is generally best to book early - especially if there are other events in the area over your dates. This discount is visible until 30 days prior to your event, and is not a rate available to the public.

Flight

Washington Dulles (IAD)

Flying from Dublin into Washington Dulles (IAD) has shown to be the best flight option in regards to price and the fact that United Airlines and Aer Lingus both offer nonstop/direct flights. On January 8th, I checked the prices for roundtrip flights from May 3rd to May 10th and it is around $400 for both airlines.

Flight

Charlottesville (CHO)

It is possible to fly from Dublin to Charlottesville, but there are no nonstop flights. Delta and United offer flights with one-stop. On January 8th, the roundtrip flights from May 3rd-May 10th were around $800.

Train

Amtrak

For our guests flying into Washington Dulles (IAD) you can then take the train to Charlottesville. The Amtrak train is great and the sooner you are able to book it the better the price! You would depart from Union Station in Washington D.C. (WAS) and arrive in Charlottesville, VA (CVS). On January 8th, I checked the roundtrip cost and it starts at $22 for coach.

Travel Note

Bus From Dulles Airport (IAD) to Union Station (Amtrak Train)

There is a bus that goes from Dulles Airport (IAD) to Union Station (Amtrak Train), but the times available are very limited. They have departures of 1pm, 1:15pm, and 5:45pm. Each trips duration also varies from 45minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes so definitely pay attention to those!
