FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

As soon as possible! The date is coming up fast and we need to confirm final counts with caterers and rental companies. Thanks!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Chris & Bryan are not in need of any physical gifts. However, you know they love sharing live music with friends and family. In lieu of gifts, please consider donating to their reception entertainment fund, to help offset the cost of Peter Rowan and David Luning. Paypal: donutboy@sonic.net or Venmo: @donut99boy

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive around 2:30 for the 3:00 ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! Please wear comfortable clothes that you would wear to a casual outdoor wedding thrown by hippies in the redwoods. The terrain here is sometimes uneven, with a variety of walking surfaces. Comfortable shoes suggested. This is no place for heels. The weather here can change dramatically throughout the day, so bring layers, and watch the weather. Average highs for August are 83, with the low being 48.

Question

Are dogs welcome?

Answer

We love your dogs, but unless your dog is a service dog, please leave them home. They can come to our other events when we won't have outside staff working here.

Question

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

Answer

Please do! Food options are still being considered, and we know many of you are gluten free or vegetarian. We're planning on having options for you. Check back for more information on our food selection.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Good question. We have on street parallel parking at the bottom of the driveway, and parking in the field beyond the house on the right (before the driveway for 3170). Please do not park in the driveway unless you have prior arrangements. Friends staying in town are encouraged to car pool from Occidental when possible. If you are bringing your camping rig, let us know, and please give us the length.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Unfortunately not. Ubers and Lyfts are scarce and unreliable in this neck of the woods. Please arrange to get back to your hotel responsibly.
