There is LIMITED parking available. Please carpool if possible. *** We will have people present to direct traffic and possibly park your car for you, but please, DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE OR 4x4!!! There are STEEP inclines on gravel road. Thank you for your flexibility!
In an effort to keep this sacred and treasured time intimate, we are only allowing a small number of people including grandparents and parents of the groom and bride. We appreciate your understanding.
We will have a Facebook Live available for those that would like to tune in. The link is https://www.facebook.com/events/1949365469138685/
Everyone who is invited to the reception will be listed when when you RSVP and will take place at 5:00pm on August 23rd, 2025
There will be no scheduled activities in between these two events, however, there are plenty of things to explore in the area. This can also be a time to get lunch, recoup, take a nap, or change clothes. If you are willing and able, we will always welcome your help in setting up for the reception later in the day.
The Hampton Inn in Roseburg is a popular option. If you aren't a fan of staying in a hotel, there are also Air bnb's and Vrbo rentals in the area closer to Glide that are available to rent through their company.
Although the weather will be dying down around the end of august, it will still be hot in the afternoon with the avg for the past couple years being in the 90s. If you are invited to the ceremony and reception, I would recommend bringing an extra button-down if you are a guy and breathable material if you are a woman. The reception will be taking place in the shade and it will be after the heat of the day, so it won't be unbearable thankfully!
August is a hotter month in Oregon and it is a dry heat. Oregon is also known to have wildfires in the summer which may impact the air quality.
Both the reception and the ceremony are outdoors, but will be held at times in the day that are cooler and will be in the shade.
Children are invited, however there aren't going to be very many activities to keep them entertained.
We will only be providing a limited amount of wine. However, there is going to be plenty of non-alcoholic refreshments available and you are welcome to bring your own alcohol if you would like. This is a special day that we have been waiting a long time for, so please party accordingly.
