Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Albemarle, North Carolina is located exactly 30 minutes from our reception venue and 30 minutes from Saint James where the ceremony will take place. This hotel includes complementary breakfast from 6:30am-9:30 am, and parking is included. There is a Walmart right across the street along with many fast food places to choose from. This is the closest hotel to the reception venue and the church (we apologize, we live in the country where everything is spread out). Please take the distance into consideration on the day of the wedding.

To book a room call the hotel phone number and state the dates you are booking for ( Sep 25, 2026 - Sep 27, 2026) and give them our last names (Gifford and Dadio).

If you would like to book for Saturday night only please take into consideration that check - in is at 3p.m. Our wedding ceremony starts at 3p.m. You will have time after the wedding ceremony to drop off your bags at the hotel prior to the reception, however you will not be able to drop off your bags at the hotel prior to the ceremony unless you book for Friday night as well.

Any questions about travel please reach out to Morgan Gifford (the bride).
