Yes! Most of our wedding day will be outdoors. Please check the weather and dress accordingly :) Ceremony location: Our wedding ceremony will take place outdoors in the Deschutes National Forest near the Dillon Falls Trailhead/Day Use Area. Reception location: Our wedding reception will be at a restaurant/venue in Sisters, Oregon called The Open Door. We plan to have dinner, drinks, and dancing in the courtyard. There will be heat lamps and fire pits. There is an inside area as well but we will be having most of the festivities outside.
Since our wedding celebration will be mainly outdoors, please dress for the weather and your comfort. Re-think heels for the wedding ceremony as you will be walking on a dirt trail!
The weather in May in Central Oregon can either be 75 degrees and sunny or snowing! Please check the weather before you travel to Bend so you can bring the appropriate clothing and footwear. Regardless of the time of year, Bend evenings are usually always chilly. Please bring layers.
While our ceremony will take place along the Deschutes River Trail (popular place for dogs), please either leave your dog at home or in your car for the duration of our wedding ceremony.
We will not be providing transportation. We encourage you to rent a car and/or carpool with others. Ride services like Uber and Lyft are also available in the area (although we cannot guarantee how available!). Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
Our wedding ceremony will be taking place at Dillon Falls Trailhead in the Deschutes National Forest. From the trailhead, walk 0.3 mile down the Deschutes River Trail. We will have ushers and signs there to guide you. See map on "Things to Do" page as well. We may set up an alternate location to meet and carpool/caravan down to the wedding ceremony. We will prompt you to check back here for more information a bit closer to the date.
