Shuttle Service
The Magnolia is privately located at the top of a mountain, so all guests are transported by professional shuttle. We partner exclusively with Elite Event Services, who provide wedding-day transportation from our guest parking lot and, when arranged by the couple, from select pre-approved local hotels and cabins. Shuttle timing, pickup locations, and routes are entirely chosen by and coordinated through the wedding couple. If you’re a guest curious about shuttle availability, please check in with your hosts for all details.
