Directions, Transportation and Accommodations
What is the address of the Wedding Venue?
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be at Greenacres Arts Center. The address is 8400 Blome Road, Cincinnati, OH 45243.
How will I get to the wedding?
We will have two shuttle buses running between the hotel blocks and Greenacres Arts Center (our ceremony/reception venue). They will take people to the venue on time for the wedding, and will be available to bring you back to Downtown Cincinnati at the end of the reception. For people who are not staying in the hotels, you can park in a garage downtown and still use the shuttle service if you would like.
You also have the option to drive yourself to the venue. Please note that there will be a valet to park your car in the Greenacres parking lot.
If you do drive to the ceremony, you have the option of leaving your car in the Greenacres parking lot overnight. You will have to come back on Sunday by 12 pm to pick up your car. Please do consider this option if you end up drinking.
What is the shuttle schedule?
Please see the shuttle schedule in the transportation section of the website.
What if I drive there but do not want to drive after the reception?
Please don’t drive after the reception if you don’t feel comfortable! You can leave your car in the Greenacres parking lot overnight and come back for it the next day (Sunday) by 12 pm. You are welcome to ride on one of the shuttles if you are going to the afterparty or to the hotels downtown.
I am from out of town. Where should I stay?
Please see the Travel & Stay section of our website for information about hotel blocks and traveling to Cincinnati from out of town.
When do I need to book a hotel by?
Most of our hotel blocks (and their lower rates) are set to close on April 5. There might be some flexibility there, but it will vary by hotel so please book as soon as possible.
Day of the wedding
Is there a dress code?
Cocktail attire. We suggest that men wear a suit or dress shirt with tie and women wear a midi-, knee-length, or full-length dress or dressy separates.
Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?
This is an outdoor garden-inspired wedding, so feel free to wear Spring colors and florals (if that’s something you would like and feel comfortable in).
What will the day of the wedding look like?
We will be having an outdoor ceremony (weather permitting), followed by an outdoor cocktail hour. The reception will also be on the grounds, but it will be inside a large tent. The ceremony will start at 5:00 PM. Please see the Schedule section of our website for additional details.
What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?
Please aim to arrive at least 20-30 minutes before the ceremony begins to make sure you have time to get settled in your seats. The ceremony begins at 5:00 PM, so please arrive around 4:30 PM.
What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an afterparty?
The reception will end at 11 pm. There will be an open bar afterparty at Ghost Baby (an underground speakeasy in Over-The-Rhine) starting at 11:30 pm. The shuttle buses will take people from the venue to Ghost Baby stop there for anyone who wants to keep the party going. They will also stop at the hotels, for anyone who is ready to call it a night.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes, there will be an open bar at the cocktail hour and the reception at Greenacres. There will also be an open bar at the afterparty at Ghost Baby.
Are there any other wedding weekend events I should know about?
There will be a welcome party on Friday (May 3) at Queen City Radio from 7:30-9:30 PM. We would love for you to join us for a drink!
Additionally, there will be an afterparty at Ghost Baby (immediately following the reception on Saturday May 4) for anyone who wants to stay out and celebrate a bit longer!
