11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Swimwear or shorts and tee-shirts on hot days. Base layer clothing, such as Under Armour, on cooler days. Sandals or river shoes for hot days. Sunglasses and hats. Wild West rafting will provide wet suits and splash jackets for colder days, water shoes, and type V life jackets.
Join us for a scenic float trip down the Yellowstone River to kick off our wedding weekend! A light brunch will be served at 11:00 AM, followed by check-in at 12:00 PM. Please expect to return around 3:00 PM. The river water levels historically run low in September, so this will be a river float rather than a whitewater rafting trip. If you’re not planning to join the rafting adventure, we still happily encourage you to join us for lunch from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Wild West Rafting office. After lunch, feel free to relax on the deck and take in the stunning views of the Yellowstone River. Alternatively, you’re just a 10-minute drive from the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. From there, it’s a scenic 15-minute drive to Mammoth Hot Springs, where you can enjoy the historic hotel, watch the elk that gather near the hotel, or wander the boardwalks through the hot spring terraces. If you have concerns about rafting, please reach out to Elena Arthur at (617) 686-1895.
4:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Black tie preferred. We kindly ask guests to wear all black attire. For footwear, please note that the ceremony will take place on grass and requires a short walk over uneven terrain—so we recommend choosing shoes that are comfortable and outdoor-friendly.
We’ve arranged transportation for all of our guests to ensure a seamless and stress-free celebration. Guest pick-up will take place between 2:00 PM and 3:45 PM, with timing based on your accommodation’s proximity to the venue. Exact pick-up windows will be shared as we get closer to the big day. Starting at 8:00 PM, return transportation will be available by request and based on availability. The wedding reception will conclude at 11:00 PM, at which time remaining guests will be transported back to their accommodations. For any transportation-related questions or concerns, please reach out to Elena Arthur at (617) 686-1895.
