Getting to Athens

Athens is about an hour and a half drive from Atlanta. For guests traveling from out of state, we recommend flying into Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). From there, we suggest one of the following options:


Groome Transportation – A reliable shuttle service that departs ATL about every hour and has four convenient drop-off locations in Athens. Fares are $52 per adult when booked online, $28 for children ages 3–7, and complimentary for infants under 3.

Rental Car – For flexibility during your stay, you may choose to rent a vehicle directly at the airport. Once in Athens, most shops, restaurants, and hotels are conveniently walkable, while our wedding venue is just a short 10-minute Uber ride from downtown.

Where to Stay

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Athens! To make your trip easier, we’ve reserved room blocks at a few nearby hotels - each within walking distance of downtown restaurants, shops, and the UGA campus. You’ll find a mix of boutique charm, modern comfort, and familiar favorites, so you can choose the option that best fits your style. Springtime in Athens is always a busy season, so we recommend booking early to secure your spot.


Each hotel is just a short 10-minute Uber/Lyft ride to our wedding venue.
