Hotel Info
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Downtown Dallas Sheraton. To book a room, go to the Travel Info section on the right hand side of this page. Click on "Click here to Reserve Online" then click on Reserve. The wedding rate of $99.00/night is only good until December 16th.

There are two different room options: 2 Queen Beds or 1 King Bed. The room with the 2 Queen Beds is larger than the room with the King Bed. The entire hotel has just been renovated from top to bottom. There are restaurants, a sports bar with Wii stations and personal karaoke rooms and free WiFi in the public areas.

The church is a block and a half away from the hotel, easily walkable, weather permitting. Parking options near the church may be limited so we are praying for good weather.

We are excited to see everyone in January. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the wedding events, travel or Dallas.
