How to get to the wedding, hotel recommendations and things to do in the nearby area.

Directions

The ceremony and reception will be held at:

Lumen House

280 Rowan Rd

Cleveland, NC

Getting There

The venue is roughly 45 minutes from Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Rental cars are the most convenient way to get around.

For guests who prefer not to drive—especially if you plan to enjoy a cocktail or two—rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available in the area. We encourage everyone to plan ahead for safe transportation so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.

 

WHERE TO STAY

Lumen House is located in a rural area with small-town charm—similar to Pembroke, NC, where Jerry and Alexis’ love story began. Because of this, hotel options near the venue are limited.

For the most convenient stay, we suggest booking a hotel in one of the nearby towns—Mooresville, Statesville, or Concord—which are all about a 30-minute drive from the venue.
