Welcome Picnic

5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Picnic Attire

We're stoked to welcome everyone to an awesome weekend in the mountains with this kickoff picnic. Anyone who is in town for the wedding is welcome to come, eat some barbeque, have a few drinks, catch up with old friends, and meet new friends. One could even take a dip in the crystal waters of the Skykomish River. This casual event will be held at the River House, which is the same venue as our wedding ceremony and reception the following day. Some large grassy lawns and a riverfront setting make for a lovely place to unwind after a long day of travel, hiking, or rock climbing. You've made it to Index, and the weekend has just begun! Time to let loose and take it all in with friends and family. We'll have lots of food and can't wait to see you there!
