FAQs
Question
Which side of the Columbia River has the best accomadations?
Answer
We will be getting married at Gorge Crest Vineyards in Underwood, Washington. There are not many hotels on the Washington side of the river so we recommend staying across the river in Hood River, Oregon. All other pre and post wedding events will take place in Hood River as well. See the "Travel" tab for our hotel recommendations.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
If we have reserved a space for your plus one, it will be indicated on your Save the Date and invitation.
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, the wedding will be a 21+ event.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail attire! Longer/midi length dresses for women and suits for men. The ceremony will take place on a grass lawn and some of the walkways on the property are gravel, so wedges, chunky heels, or flats are preferred. The Gorge can be a little windy, especially after the sun goes down, so a light jacket or shawl is also recommended!
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
We will be providing shuttle transportation from four locations in Hood River up to the venue, Gorge Crest Vineyards, before and after the wedding. There is limited parking at our venue, so taking the shuttle is highly recommended. Three of the pick up locations are at our recommended hotels (more information on "Travel" tab). You are welcome to book other accommodations but will be responsible for getting yourself to these shuttle pick up locations. Shuttle Stops: ++ Best Western Plus Hood River Inn ++ Hampton Inn & Suites Hood River ++Sunset Motel *Though not shuttle stops, two other hotels are within walking distance from this stop: the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hood River (5 minutes) and the Riverview Lodge Hood River (10 minutes) ++ In front of Full Sail Brewing (506 Columbia Street, Hood River, OR 97031) *This location is within walking distance of many Airbnbs in the downtown Hood River area. There is a paid parking lot (Cascade Parking) and free street parking nearby. If you chose to drive and park at this location, please extra plan time to find parking. Pick up times and schedule will be determined closer to the wedding. The shuttle will make two return trips to Hood River in the evening at 9pm and 10:15pm.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes, there is parking at the venue. The parking lot is limited in size, so we recommend carpooling or taking the provided shuttle.
