Guest Arrival for Night to Shine:

• Limos do not pick up guests at their residence. They are only for rides during the event.
• Please DO NOT arrive prior to 5:45 PM. Many of our volunteers work and will not be in place to provide your guest with the best experience until that time. Every guest will experience every part of the event. This also allows family members that are coming to watch the Red Carpet not miss their guest.
• Please DO NOT leave the church campus without accompanying your guest through check-in. If you do not plan to stay, you may leave after you check in together.
  • Drop your guest off in the designated location (they will receive a buddy here) and park your vehicle where directed. Your guest and their buddy will be waiting for you in the Auditorium of the church. Walk together to check in. You may depart after this or join us in the VIP Caretaker Room if you have registered.
