the venue
The ceremony and reception will both be held in the main hall at Spirit. The venue will be open to guests starting at 4:30pm, with the ceremony starting at 5:00pm. There will be a cocktail hour on the rooftop (weather permitting) followed by the reception back in the main hall.
The main entrance of Spirit does require you to climb a few stairs to get to the hall. There is an elevator available for use through the pizzeria entrance, that goes from the ground floor to the rooftop.

We have a small block of room at the Courtyard by Marriot Downtown, just a 10 or so minute drive away from the venue.
There will be no shuttle service from the hotel to the venue, so we recommend utilizing Lyft or Uber. There are a few lots around the building, and plenty of available street parking in the area if you prefer to drive.
