Travel
Our wedding is at Venue Breezy at Adams Breezy Hill Farm in Princeton, Kentucky —
tucked between Land Between the Lakes and Lake Barkley in western KY. Most guests will either fly into
Nashville (BNA) or drive down from Champaign, IL. Here’s everything you need to plan your trip.
Wedding Venue Address
Venue Breezy at Adams Breezy Hill Farm
1222 Cadiz Rd, Princeton, KY 42445
Getting Here
Flying into Nashville (BNA)
Nashville International Airport · ~95 miles / 1 hr 35 min to venue
- BNA is the closest major airport and has the best flight selection from most U.S. cities.
-
Plan to rent a car — there is no practical rideshare, shuttle, or transit option for the
full drive to Princeton. All major rental agencies are on-site at BNA.
-
Route: Leave BNA on Donelson Pike → I-40 W briefly → merge onto I-24 W
toward Clarksville/Paducah → cross into Kentucky → take Exit 27
(US-62 / Princeton/Eddyville) → head east on US-62/Cadiz Rd toward the venue.
-
Driving directions: BNA → Venue Breezy
Driving from Champaign, IL
~290 miles / 4 hr 45 min to venue
-
Route: I-57 South from Champaign all the way to Marion, IL → merge onto
I-24 East toward Paducah/Nashville → cross the Ohio River into Kentucky
→ take Exit 27 (US-62 / Princeton/Eddyville) → head east on US-62/Cadiz Rd.
-
Mostly interstate the whole way. Good stops for gas/food: Effingham IL, Marion IL (just before
the I-24 split), and Paducah KY.
-
Note the time zone change — Champaign is on Central Time and Princeton is also on Central
Time, so no clock change. (Nashville is also Central.)
-
Driving directions: Champaign → Venue Breezy
Arriving the Day Of
Same-Day Travel Tips
-
Wedding ceremony time is still TBD — we’ll lock it in here once confirmed. Plan
around an afternoon/evening ceremony.
-
From Nashville BNA: aim to land at least 4 hours before the ceremony to cover
the ~1 hr 35 min drive, rental car pickup, checking in/changing, and any traffic.
-
From Champaign, IL: a same-day drive is doable but tight (5 hours door-to-door
without stops). Leave a healthy buffer for gas, meals, and changing clothes — you may want
to book a daytime hotel room nearby just to freshen up.
-
Don’t plan to head straight back the same night if you’ve been on the road all day.
We’d love for you to stay.

the fall.

Getting Around Once You’re Here
Rental Cars & Driving
-
This is rural western Kentucky — you will need a car. Rideshare is
unreliable here.
- Pick up your rental at BNA; all the usual agencies are on-site.
- Parking is available on-site at the venue (details to come).
Rideshare & Taxis
-
Uber and Lyft coverage is spotty in Princeton and the Lake Barkley area — do not count on
same-night pickup back to your hotel.
-
If you’d rather not drive after the reception, plan a designated driver or coordinate
with friends staying at the same hotel.
