GETTING HERE

There are several options for getting to the Bethlehem area depending on your starting location. For those guests flying in for the wedding, we have provided a list of area airports with maps showing estimated routes and driving times. Please keep in mind that there will be no on-site parking at the wedding venue, so you'll need to arrange to park your vehicle in town or at your hotel of choice. Shuttles will be provided to and from the venue on the evening of the wedding to ensure that everyone can have a fun, safe party!

If you're going to be flying in and you're interested in either renting a car / picking up others / need a ride, please check out our ride share form to help coordinate!

Note: Lehigh Valley International is a short drive from Bethlehem and there are shuttles available from most major Bethlehem hotels. Philadelphia is the closest major airport and is roughly a 1 hour drive.  New York area airports (JFK, LGA) are roughly a 2 hour drive.

Have a Weekend Adventure

On Christmas Eve in 1741, David Nitschmann and Count Nicolaus von Zinzendorf, leading a small group of Moravians, founded the mission community of Bethlehem along the banks of the Monocacy Creek by the Lehigh River in the colony of Pennsylvania. An important center of colonial life, Bethlehem has stayed relevant into modern times and is currently the seventh largest city in Pennsylvania. We encourage you to walk through history during your stay. A few highlights we love: 

1750 Smithy

"The building stood until the early 20th century when it was dismantled and converted into brownstone dwellings which were later demolished. In 2004, the Smithy was reconstructed of limestone taken from a local 1700s barn being torn down, and was built on the foundations of the original smithy, thanks to detailed records kept by the Moravians and stored in the Moravian Archives."

See the Smithy in person Friday through Sunday from 11 am - 4 pm!
