FAQs
Question
Will it be convenient to stay in Leavenworth?
Answer
That depends! Leavenworth is about 25 minutes away from our venue. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide a shuttle. However, there may be Ubers and Lyfts available depending on the time of day you are coming and going. If you plan to stay in Leavenworth, we recommend researching ride-options ahead of time or planning a designated driver. If that works for you, then Leavenworth offers many lovely hotels. If you are worried about arranging a ride, then it will likely make more sense to stay at the venue or find a vacation rental in Plain, WA.
Question
Can I stay at the Lodge if I'm not in the wedding?
Answer
Probably, but at this point, all of the private rooms at the Lodge are reserved. If you already spoke to Claire and Alec about staying in Ponderosa Cabin (aka "the party cabin"), then they have you on their list. Please text them to confirm if you have any questions. While the private rooms are full, there may be space available in shared bunk rooms in some of the cabins. Reach out to your other friends and family who have rented cabins, or Claire and Alec, to find out if any beds are available.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Short answer: Formal or Cocktail Attire Long answer: We hope all of our guests will dress to the nines! The vibe is magical garden party. Do with that what you will. The wedding party and our families will be dressed formally. However, we want our guests to be comfortable, so cocktail attire is perfectly fine. It is likely to be sunny and warm in the day and cool at night, so we recommend jackets and shawls (and fun hats, if you'd like). Shade, seating, and other comfort aids will be provided for guests.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Yes! Our intent is for everyone in a relationship to have the option to bring a date. If their name is not on your invitation, it's simply because we didn't know their name at the time that we printed invitations. Please just text us to inform us of your partner's name if you want to bring them.
Question
Can my kids come?
Answer
Yes! With that said, if you prefer to attend without them, that's great too! We just ask that parents be mindful to remove any disruptive or misbehaving children from the party. If your children are adults who do not live at home, they will receive their own invitations if they are invited.
Question
What should I do about meals?
Answer
For the wedding party, family, and those staying at the lodge, we will provide dinner following the rehearsal on Friday. Please make sure to RSVP through this website for dinner on Friday. For all guests, dinner will be served on Saturday. Please note that the lodge does not have a restaurant for lunches or breakfasts. However, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby or in Leavenworth (about 20 minutes away). The cabins at the lodge have kitchens, so you can also bring breakfast or lunch foods if you would prefer.
