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 Honored Guest through check-in. If you do not plan to stay, you may leave after you check in together.
  • If you'd like to drop your Honored Guest off near the Auditorium entrance please let a parking attendant know by flashing your lights and then parking you where directed. Your Honored Guest will be escorted inside by a Butler and will be waiting for you in the Auditorium to check in. You may depart after this, continue on to the Red Carpet with your Honored Guest or join us upstairs in the VIP area!
