We do have official room-blocks at the following hotels. Please use the link for booking online, or mention the Woods-Black wedding if you prefer to call via phone.

Home2Suites by Hilton - 13350 6 1/2 Mile Road, Battle Creek MI (269-883-8300)

Courtyard by Marriott - 12891 Harper Village Drive, Battle Creek MI (269-979-2900)

Yes! We will have shuttles available for the wedding day only (not welcome party on Friday).

A shuttle will pick up guests from Home2Suites at 3:05pm sharp, followed by Courtyard Marriott at 3:15pm.

We prefer all guests to ride the shuttle, unless we have specifically arranged other plans for you. Parking at the venue is very limited.

Shuttles will make return trips to both hotels at 9:30 and 10:45pm.

For Friday’s welcome party, we suggest garden party attire. Everything is outdoors, so wear layers and appropriate shoes. Please keep in mind that the food provided will all be handheld and more casual!

For Saturday’s wedding, we are requesting black tie attire. We would love our guests to use this special day as an opportunity to dress up and feel great. When in doubt, overdressed is best!

For ladies, this means a long formal gown - a shorter gown may be appropriate if it is formal and sophisticated. No mini dresses, separates, or shades of white/ivory please! We would also suggest block heels, wedges, or heel-stoppers, as the venue has lots of grass and gravel.

For gentlemen, typically black tie means a sharp tuxedo, but a formal and tailored suit is also appropriate if matching top and bottom. Bow tie or ties are preferred.

If you would like to bless us with a gift, we are registered at Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Anthropologie. Thank you so much!

Our caterer is phenomenal and will be serving a duo-protein plate so everyone has something they love. If you have any sort of allergy or dietary restriction, please denote this specifically on the RSVP form so we can best accommodate your needs.

Please only bring the guests denoted specifically on your wedding invitation envelope. This is an adults-only reception, with exceptions for immediate family and bridal party only. We love your kiddos, but want you to be able to enjoy the evening kid-free for once!
