FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony starts at 4:00 PM. Please plan to arrive up to an hour early. Anyone planning to camp with us overnight at the venue may arrive as early as 12:00 PM to set up their tent in advance. There will also be time to set up your tent after dinner. The reception starts at 5:30 PM and will run late, so if you are unable to make it by 4:00 PM for the ceremony due to work/weekday obligations, you are still more than welcome to show up fashionably late; please indicate that you will miss the ceremony when you RSVP.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
For our out-of-town guests, we recommend staying at the McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. There is a block of rooms being held in our name. Please reach out to the bride or groom for our room block code. There is free camping with on-site bathrooms and showers, as well as RV hook-ups on the venue grounds. Be sure to bring your own tents and bedding. (Come early to set up.)
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

I'm thinking about camping. Do you have a spare tent?

Do I need to RSVP if I'd like to camp at the venue?
Answer
No RSVPs required for camping, just specify when you RSVP for the wedding that you're planning on camping, and let Ian know so he can keep a head count. If you need any camping gear, ask Ian about that as well, otherwise, please provide your own tent/bedding/etc.
