Question

What are the cabin accommodations like?

Answer

The cabin accommodations are climate controlled bunkhouses. Think camp with several bunk beds in the room. There are bathrooms with showers and individual stalls in each cabin. You will have a lockable storage container for any items you want to lock away when you aren't in the cabin (bring a basic lock if you'd like to). You can bring your own linens otherwise a linen packet can be provided by the venue for $15 for the entire visit. The cost for the bunk house is $30 per person per night. We have the cabins available from Thursday night through Sunday - Check out is 11am.

Question

Where can we eat?

Answer

We will have some planned events with meals such as the rehearsal dinner Friday night, wedding reception & breakfast Sunday morning. Outside of that it will be somewhat casual and flexible in what you would like to do if you are onsite. There are typical pizza, chinese food etc. options that will deliver onsite. There are also several restaurants within a 5-10 mile radius of the venue including a Starbucks, Chipotle & grocery store less than 3 miles from the venue. Each house does have a partial kitchen as well.

Question

What do I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Cocktail attire is requested for the wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony will take place outside but on a paved surface, so shoes of any kind will be fine (though, lawn games will be included in cocktail hour, so please wear appropriate footwear or bring something to slip into after the ceremony!)
