Indoors.
Gifts?
Your presence on our day is more than enough. If you're compelled to gift us something... We’re experience-over-things people. We’d love contributions toward future adventures instead of physical items.
Are there hotel room blocks?
Since there are so many hotels within walking distance, we did not do a specific block. I included options for Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and 21C under the travel section.
Will there be parking?
Yes. Several public lots and garages near the venue. More to come. All shortlisted hotels should also have parking available and are within walking distance to the venue. But more to come on venue parking info!
What's going on Friday night?
The Welcome Party is at Covington Yard (401 Greenup St, Covington, KY 41011), about a 5-minute Uber from downtown Cincinnati. Covington is a safe, walkable area with lots of bars and restaurants within a couple blocks from the bar. It's an indoor/outdoor area, food trucks and giant yard games. Might want to bring long sleeves in the case it's chilly. Very casual. Come and go as you please — we won’t be out late since we have big plans the next day :)
Will there be food?
Do you know us? Of course! It won't be a formal sit down dinner, but there will be lots of food stations. You won't leave hungry!
Is this a Derby Party/Theme?
No, this is not a Derby party, nor a Derby theme. We're just kicking off with the Derby!
