Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for. We don’t have a traditional registry, but if you’d like to contribute, a donation to our honeymoon fund or a card on the day of the wedding would mean a lot to us.

Question

Is the venue easy to locate?Is the venue easy to locate?

Answer

Yes, the venue is easy to find when using the address in GPS or map applications. However, we do want to share a quick note for your arrival: the entrance can be easy to miss if you’re driving too quickly. It’s located on a two-way road where traffic moves fast—up to 70 mph—and the entrance is on the left-hand side. As you approach the venue, we recommend reducing your speed and keeping an eye out for the entrance signage to ensure a smooth and safe turn-in. We’ll also have clear markers or ballon’s near the entrance to help guide you in. Safe travels—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Can I get a discounted hotel room?Can I get a discounted hotel room?

Answer

Yes - there is such a thing as Group Travel Booking. We first get a head count of everyone who is deciding to book a room for the night or nights. The hotel then does a Courtesy Block at a low rate, closing off these rooms temporarily at a discount. • The bride and Groom don’t pay upfront for any other party. • The rooms are held for the guests at a special rate. • Each guest books and pays for their own room directly (via a custom link or code). • Any unused rooms are released by a cutoff date (usually 30 days before the wedding). • If the guest did not book a room during the courtesy block, they will more than likely pay a higher nightly rate. We will set up the RSVP link to ask all guest who may be interested in a group rate. If we get more than 10 rooms combined, we will follow back up in October 2025 with more information on booking officially.

Question

We’d love for everyone to dress formally and look their best—it’s a special occasion! Think suits, dress shirts, ties, cocktail dresses, or formal gowns. Perhaps a cowboy hat for accessory!
