for our out of town guests...
Since our wedding falls during football season, we recommend you book your rooms as early as possible! Our wedding is the Friday before a home game: Ole' Miss vs. Auburn. With that in mind, many hotels in the Auburn/Opelika area have two or three-night minimums and crazy expensive rates. We're recommending a few hotels in the Montgomery area (which is only about 30-40 minutes to Kiesel Park) as well as a few in Opelika. We will do our best to help you find a reasonable place to stay close by-- but home game weekends book quickly and can get very pricey!Our top pick:
 |
| Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites - East Chase |
Montgomery - EastChase
1-800-423-0908 visit their website
9250 Boyd-Cooper Parkway,
Montgomery AL 36116
The Holiday Inn Express is the best mix of not breaking the budget while still providing a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Located close to both Interstate 85 and the Shoppes at East Chase this hotel is convenient, inexpensive, and only about a 30-40 minute drive from our wedding venue.
We have booked a block of rooms at this hotel.
Our group rate is $89/night. Click here to reserve your rooms. Rooms in the block will be released on September 4th, but the rate will be active as long as rooms are available up to our wedding day.
In Montgomery:
We've selected a few hotels near the Shoppes at East Chase, a shopping center on the Auburn side of Montgomery. The Shoppes at East Chase is one of the newest additions to Montgomery and is home to a wide variety of stores, boutiques, and restaurants. For more information about the Shoppes at East Chase, click here.Below are some of our favorite hotels that are close by:
 |
| Staybridge Suites - East Chase |
1-800-931-4667 visit their website
7800 Eastchase Parkway, Montgomery AL 36117
The Staybridge Suites are located close to the East Chase shopping center and easily accessible to restaurants, shops, and Interstate 85. Although it is an extended stay hotel, offering amenities like continental breakfast and complimentary evening receptions (light refreshments) Staybridge has been ranked highly by one and two night visitors as well.

| Hampton Inn and Suites - East Chase |
1-334-277-1818 visit their website
7651 EastChase Parkway, Montgomery AL 36117
The Hampton is in located right next to the East Chase shopping center and can be reached easily from Interstate 85. Though the room rates average about $10-$30 more than the Holiday Inn Express, Hampton frequently runs specials for room discounts (as well as offering their free breakfast or On-the-Go breakfast bags for a snack before heading back home.)

| Sleep Inn and Suites - East Chase |
Sleep Inn and Suites Montgomery- East Chase

In Auburn:
If you want the full Auburn/Opelika experience on an AU Home Game Day, including spending upwards of $600+ for a two night stay, we recommend the following hotels: |

This hotel is pretty new and centrally located. We love that it is right off the interstate and close to shopping, restaurants, and not too close to the chaos of Auburn University home games.

visit their website
2257 Interstate Drive, Opelika AL 36801
This hotel is adjacent to the Tiger Town shopping center. It's within walking distance to a number of shops and restaurants as well as on the Tiger Transit route for Auburn University home games.

(706)663-8790
Pine Mountain, Georgia

Although this might not fit your idea of romance, if you're looking to make our wedding weekend into a "rustic down home romantical getaway" these cabins might be perfect. They're located close to one of our favorite restaurants, Cricket's, and right down the road from Callaway Gardens which is just lovely this time of year. If nothing else, just click through to the site and check out some of the awesome names for these cabins, they aren't to be missed!
