Travel
Important Travel Note

The shuttle route on the day of the Wedding will be offered as follows:
Stop 1: Downtown Hood River in front of the Lightwell Hotel

When choosing your hotel, we recommend thinking through shuttle transportation prior to booking. If you plan on driving to and from the venue, this opens up options exponentially!
