Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

Yes indeed. Hotel information can be found on the Travel page. There are also Air BnB recommendations for those who prefer that option.

Question

What should I do if I don't make it into one of the hotel room blocks?

Answer

To be sure you are able to take advantage of the locked in rate for the hotels, reservations should be made by October 24th.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will be outdoors in the Bamboo Forest and the cocktail hour will be outside in the patio area, the reception will take place indoors. Guests will walk to the Bamboo Forest on paved pathways, but will need to step on grass and gravel briefly before getting to the pathways. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.
