We've tried to answer everything below — but if something's missing, feel free to reach out.

What time should I arrive?

Please plan to arrive by 5:30 PM — the ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 PM and we'd love for everyone to be settled in before we walk down the aisle.

Will the ceremony be outdoors?

Yes — the ceremony will be held outdoors, weather permitting. September in Charlottesville is usually beautiful and we're keeping our fingers crossed for good weather. In the event of inclement weather, we'll move things inside and you'll be notified in advance.

What is the dress code?

Formal — dress to the nines! We'd love to see long gowns for women, and men are encouraged to wear a suit.

Will the reception also be outdoors?

Cocktail hour will be on the lawn (weather permitting), and dinner and dancing will move inside Pippin Hill's main event space.

Is there a shuttle from downtown Charlottesville?

Yes! Shuttles will run between Pippin Hill and two pickup points in downtown Charlottesville — University Baptist Church (1223 West Main St) for guests near The Corner, and the Water St. Bus Stop near the Omni for guests near the Downtown Mall. Return shuttles from Pippin Hill will depart at 10:30 PM and 12:00 AM.

Is there parking at Pippin Hill?

Yes, there is on-site parking at Pippin Hill for guests who prefer to drive. The shuttle is a great option if you'd rather not worry about the drive back.

Have you reserved a room block?

We have room blocks at the Omni Charlottesville (code: 091126LAROW) and the Holiday Inn Charlottesville-Monticello (code: CLL). A full list of recommended hotels with booking links is on our Travel & Stay page. We'd recommend booking as soon as possible — our weekend coincides with a UVA football game and rooms go fast.
