We recommend the Holiday Inn - Winfield/Teays Valley. 941 WV-34 Hurricane, WV 25526 This is located in between the ceremony and the reception venue making it easier to get to each location. We have a block of rooms booked under the Masker/Shepherd Wedding.
While we will not be providing transportation, there are several rental car providers in the area for those who have flown in. We can provide you with contacts if needed.
While our venues do not have specific dress codes, we ask that you dress business casual. Please no jeans, shorts or flip flops. We do not expect you to wear cocktail attire unless you choose too.
While both of our venues have air conditioning, please keep in mind that July in West Virginia can reach up to 90 degrees.
If you received a plus one, this will be indicated on your invitation. Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those guests who are formally invited.
Although we love your little ones, we kindly request that both our ceremony and reception be adult only. We want our guests to be able to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears.
There will be a buffet style dinner consisting of meat, fish, vegetables and a dessert bar.
