Frequently Asked Questions
We see that the use of this tool helps to contribute to Jack and Kiera's Dream Honeymoon trip
How does this work?
The company that provides this trip planning tool (Solutionz.com) is operated by Kiera’s mom. Her company makes a commission on all of the travel to the wedding. She has agreed to donate all of that income to Kiera and Jack’s dream honeymoon trip.
They will not be leaving right away for their honeymoon, so if you have other trips that you are taking anywhere in the world, you can use this same tool and Solutionz will donate the money from those trips as well!
Does this site have the best prices?
On lodging, we guarantee that the prices are lower than any published rates to the point that we will refund 110% of the difference if you find a lower price after you book on TravelingToGive.
The prices should also be comparable to all other online sites on car and air, but if you are a frequent flyer, we recommend that you book your air ticket with your preferred airline directly.
What if I just need Driving Directions or an estimate of how long it will take me to get to the Hall?
Click on I’m Driving on the tool and put in your starting address and it will calculate the driving time and show you the suggested route.

See the CONCIERGE section for a link to apply for a passport or renew yours.
What if I want to spend a night or two in London when we arrive or depart?
Use the same tool on this page for finding lodging in London. Just change the destination to what you would like to be close to (e.g. type in Tower of London or Buckingham Palace to see) and the date that you wish to check in and check out. The site will show both hotels and private homes, apartments, villas, etc.
How do we get to Norwich?
Norwich is about a 3 hour trip from London.
If you are flying in from the US, it is wise to arrive no later than Friday morning in London, to give yourself at least one night to adjust to the time zone. If you aren’t used to international travel, arriving earlier is better.
If you are flying in from out of the country, you can fly to London Gatwick or London Heathrow. Both have regular rail service to Norwich. It is under 3 hours by train.
On the trip planning tool there is a link on the WEDDING CONCIERGE to TRAINLINE, where you can buy your rail tickets.
If you are flying in from Europe, there is service on the low cost carriers to Stansted.
On the trip planning tool WEDDING CONCIERGE to the low cost carriers.
Can we fly into Norwich?
KLM flies to Norwich from Amsterdam, but those flights may be more expensive than flying to London and taking the train.
What is there to do in Norwich?
So much!!
Click on the CONCIERGE tab and there is a link to find tours and tickets to local attractions. Don’t miss the Cathedral and hopefully the Castle Keep will be open for tours in time for the wedding. It has been under renovation for quite a while.
Can I rent a car?
Yes, use the Driving Tab and scroll down to Need a Rental Car.
Remember that you will need an International Drivers License, which you can get from AAA in the US. Also they drive on the left side of the road and the driver sits on the right side of the car, so make sure you are prepared for that!!
What if we want to stay in a house or apartment or villa?
The site will show you all kinds of lodging within your price range. We have it set to show you just 3 star and above, but you can expand the options when you look at the results page.
Where is the wedding being held?
The wedding is being held at Hockwold Hall.
Station Rd, Hockwold cum Wilton, Brandon IP26 4HZ, United Kingdom
It is about 40 miles southwest of Norwich, where Jack and Kiera live. The I’m Staying tab on the trip planning tool will find lodging near the Hall. If you prefer to stay in Norwich, there is a much larger selection. Just click on the destination box and type in Norwich, UK.
