If you did not receive a plus one please DO NOT bring one, we have limited space and cannot accommodate those who were not invited. Thank you for understanding. Please reach out to Carly (541-890-5840) with any questions

Yes there is a parking lot outside the venue. However guests CANNOT leave their car at the venue after the event is over. If you must leave your car overnight, please park in the Port parking lot (located next to the venue) as that is all public parking.
If you are staying at the Best Western Port of Camas/Washougal you are walking distance from the venue (less than a 30 second walk) So we highly recommend you stay there if possible! If you stay at any other hotel or airbnb we do NOT have a shuttle service and you will be responsible for your transportation
We'd love to see our friends and family dress up for our big day! Dress code is semi-formal. Ladies can wear any length dresses and men can wear dress pants and a collared shirt. No jeans, shorts or hats please!
Yes, there will be an open bar with beer and wine and N/A options! Please DO NOT bring in any outside alcohol and drink responsibly. Due to venue policy and regulations, any highly-intoxicated guest risks being removed from the event immediately and shutting the wedding down entirely. We have put a lot of love and energy into this day and would hate for it to be ruined by over-consumption. Thank you for understanding.
We ask that all guests RSVP no later than August 1st, 2025. If you do not RSVP by that date, we will assume you are not coming. We sure hope you can make it!
Your presence will surely be missed! Please RSVP "Will NOT Attend." If you have already RSVP'd attending, but find that you will not make it, please notify Carly (541-890-5840) or Ben (812-686-3908) immediately.
We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us it to be present when we say "I do." We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share all photos when we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take videos and photos as you please!
The ceremony starts promptly at 3:30pm. We ask that you arrive to the venue no later than 3:10pm.
