IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

Question

Why Portland?

Answer

Portland is a super special place to us. It is the place we have found refuge there when life seems to heavy to bare. It’s the first “vacation” we went on and that means, first time I didn’t have to go to doctors everyday - we feel like we got to date date when we traveled there! And it is also super weird so just fun change of pace. WE HOPE YOU LOVE IT TOO!!

Question

How Many Days?

Answer

I would recommend 4 days in Portland/the coast. You will be plenty occupied with those amount of days being filled with a day trip to the beach and beach towns, a day of hiking and trails, a day of shopping, and WEDDING DAY!!

Question

Should we rent a car?

Answer

If you desire to do the long traveling things--which we totally recommend to make a trip out of it-- (mount hood, hood river, waterfalls, and the Oregon coast) renting a car is a great option! There are lots of buses that you can take to the popular places, but a car would probably be easiest. Uber and Lyft (as well as the Metro) will get you around the city of Portland and to our venue! There are plenty of lush hikes and walkable shopping areas that are just an Uber or Lyft away. Things to consider: 1. Price of parking a car overnight if you stay at a hotel. there could be street parking available. 2. If you have a bunch of people that won't fit in an uber. 3. Will you want to go to your own adventures and be able to stop along the way. Also- we will have shuttles to and from the wedding coming from Marriott Waterfront Hotel!

Question

Are You Nervous About Homeless People?

Answer

Portland gets a bad rep about homeless people, but I would probably want to be in portland in July if I were on the streets too. Nobody has ever messed with us, so please don't worry k? Just be kind!

Question

Can kids come to the wedding?

Answer

We want y’all to enjoy the night whatever that looks like for each of you- kids or no kids. We all know I wish I had 17 children by now soooo I understand the kid love. They are a huge part of you and we love you, so bring it on if you'd like them there! Adam has heard one too many kids ruin his intentional time during ceremonies SO he has come up with the brilliant idea that we will have a designated children’s area. Asking you to leave your kids at home is a big ask that we don’t want to do, especially because we want you to enjoy Oregon with the whole fam, but we also deeply desire for people who are invested in the ceremony to not have the distraction of crying kids- so we hope this is an understandable compromise. If there is a chance of noise made by your child, please consider it before the ceremony begins and have someone take them to a play area before the ceremony to hang out until it is finished, then we will happily reunite with them! Probably only 30 minutes!

Question

Regarding my kids?

Answer

Things to consider: 1. We do want a rocking dance floor, and people are sometimes worried about dancing around kids so maybe keep your eyes on them so they are safe. 2. In order to accommodate the most people, the shuttle may not leave until late, so hopefully that won't mess up your kids sleeping schedule! 3. There are bathroom stalls that are clean and big enough if anyone needs to change clothes, diapers, breastfeed, etc. We have a lot of fresh babies in our lives and want all the fresh mommas to feel TOTALLY comfortable! If that isn't comfortable enough, there are many wooded areas that nobody will find ya. Or you can always rent a car and do it there! We want it to feel comfortable! 4. Let us know if and how many are coming and if they need specific dietary needs, we want to help!

Question

What Time to Arrive at Ceremony

Answer

I would recommend going to Multnomah Falls before the ceremony. You will get to see a beautiful waterfall! and there are many more including Bridal Veil Falls, all very easy hikes that you could do without sweating. So if that is your waterfall day, maybe give yourself plenty of time if you want to do pitstops at these beautiful walks/falls and trails. The Location of the ceremony is beautiful (we think) so you can come a few minutes early and grab a drink and walk around to enjoy being in nature. We don't want you to get bored of being there though, so don't stay too long where you're dying to get on the shuttle home!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

YES! Please please please let us know any accommodations we an make ahead of time so this is an enjoyable evening for EVERYONE!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

YES! they are at the same place and there is parking, so if you rent a car, you are free to drive yourself! They are windy roads though so we don't want you drinking driving home, so keep that in mind! Carpool/uber/shuttle/etc and then we will have the shuttle to bring you home if you prefer that option!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

ASAP. Just do it as soon as you can. It will make our life easier to plan better with more accurate numbers!
