FAQs
Question

Answer
Please RSVP at https://bit.ly/rsvp-to-abby-and-matt-wedding by July 1st!
Question
Why is it a whole weekend? Do I really need to be there Friday or Sunday?
Answer
We have been away from all of you for so long now on our "van life" road trip around the Western US. We opted for a more intimately sized wedding over a couple of days rather than one night with a large guest list because what matters most to us is celebrating with our closest loved ones. We hope that everyone will attend for the full weekend and that we will all get to soak up quality time together, coming away from the weekend with hearts full and having enjoyed the time to connect with each other!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
For now we only have space for explicitly invited friends and family due to space limitations, but we will reach out to you if space opens up, which seems likely from the current perspective.
Question
Are you accepting gifts? Do you have a registry?
Answer
Yes, thank you! We have a registry on this website you can contribute to which you can find in the website menu. If you prefer to use Venmo rather than credit card, you can send gifts to the Venmo account @kohlikohl
Question
What is the parking situation at the venue?
Answer
There is space for 15 cars at the venue and we are contractually obligated to not exceed this limit. Please coordinate with others to carpool!
Question
What is the dress code for the ceremony?
Answer
Summer semi-formal. The surface the ceremony and reception will be held on is paved, but the ground from your cabin to the lodge area is unpaved. Any questions, just holler!
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Barring weather events, the ceremony and celebration will be held outside. In fact, expect to spend a lot of the weekend outdoors.
Question
What is the weather like?
Answer
On average, the temperature in Cle Elum at this time of year is in the mid-70s (around 24 celsius). Be prepared for hot temperatures as well as cooler nights. The weather in Seattle can be very different than it is in Cle Elum as there is a mountain range in between. When it is raining and cloudy in Seattle, it could be warm, dry and sunny in Cle Elum. Bring sunscreen, a light jacket, and maybe an umbrella even though the chance of rain is low.
Question
What else should I bring?
Answer
We recommend bringing a swimsuit to enjoy the pool and hot tub, good walking shoes for exploring, and sunglasses (these are notoriously forgotten by travelers visiting Washington!) Oh, and don't forget your DANCING SHOES! *See question regarding food provided below, but please store any food you bring in the communal kitchen or in the mini fridge in your room.
Question
Should I bring my Canon Ultimate Pro 1000 to take pictures?
Answer
We will have a photographer on site from 2pm until 8pm on Saturday. Please enjoy the ceremony with phones and cameras put away. Our photographer will start taking photos of you all around 3pm.
Question
Where will I stay?
Answer
Accommodations are provided for everyone at the venue for both Friday and Saturday night. Most people will be lodging in cozy duplex cabins around the property, and we will do our best to provide everyone with the space they need. Each room has a Queen Bed, 2 Full Beds, and a private bathroom with a shower. Other amenities provided in each room: a dining table, fans (no air conditioning), microwaves, small fridges, and coffee makers.
Question
I'm traveling for the wedding. Can I come early or stay late?
Answer
Yes! While we are only providing accommodation for the wedding weekend, we'd love to see our out-of-town friends for longer. We appreciate you traveling so far to celebrate with us. Let us know when you'll be in the area and we can enjoy Washington adventures together!
Question
Can I bring Crockett, Haku, Mick or Brett?
Answer
Sorry, no dogs, cats or snakes are allowed on the property.
Question
Will all the food and drinks be provided?
Answer
We are providing pizza on Friday, bagels and cream cheese on Saturday and Sunday morning and catered dinner for the reception. If you would like extra snacks or a lunch on Saturday, please bring it yourself. We will provide alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Please specify your preferences in the RSVP.
