Wedding

3:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Formal

Watch us get married this day but not until about 2:30p. Check out our recommendations page until party time! Parking at the venue is reserved, so we've got shuttles lined up! SHUTTLE INFO: We will have two shuttle pickup/drop-off locations (below). Both on rotation pre-wedding 2:30-3:15p and post-wedding 9:30-11pm. Return location can be requested in addition to pickup spots! Do not miss the shuttles & don't wait for the very last! IN TOWN; ideal for those staying right in Hood River & want to avoid driving for the night. Walk or drive & meet at the bottom of '2nd street stairs', at the intersection of State Street and 2nd Street. Street parking is available and if you do, we might recommend neighborhood parking (Sherman street + above) and taking the 2nd street stairs to the meeting point. NEAR VENUE; Ideal for those who are staying a bit outside of Hood proper or who had planned to drive to the venue. Meet at Blossoms Bilingual Preschool. Cars can park here overnight!

Saturday Ski Party

11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Ski attire, bright attire, or anything in-between!

Mt. Hood parking lot party! We’re planning to ski a few hours in the morning. Not only is it tradition, but it’s where we got engaged! Join us for some t-shirt weather skiing (9a), and then we’ll meet in the parking lot for food, games, music, and awesome views (~11a)! Even if you don’t plan to ski- this is for you!! Come take in some of the trails or just enjoy the tailgate early! On the grill: Hotdogs + Hamburgers On the side: chips, salads, charcuterie To wash it down: We'll have some light beers (and plenty of solo cups!) but feel free to bring beers of your own if you know you'd prefer it! SKI/SNOWBOARDERS: lift tickets do not need to be purchased in advance and are east to snag day of! We're working on a group discount - more to come. After the tailgate? TBD! I could see a Ferment Brewing trip in everyone's future!

For all the days along the way
