7/19: The attire for the wedding celebration on Friday 7/19/24 at Aspen Hall is cocktail wedding attire. Typically this would include cocktail dresses, dressy jumpers, suit and ties, heels, and dress shoes. The wedding celebration will have both indoor and outdoor aspects, the outdoor celebrations will take place on a grassy lawn area and a concrete outdoor patio that surround Aspen Hall. 7/20: The attire for the BBQ and float on Saturday 7/20/24 is casual beach / lounge attire. We will be having brunch, BBQing, playing games, and floating the river on boats and/or tubes. We recommend bringing sandals like Tevas or aquasocks for the float (the bottom of the river can be muddy in spots and you don't want to lose a flipflop!). Bring your party pants! We can't wait to celebrate with you!

One of the best times to visit Bend is in the summer because of all of the amazing outdoor activities. Bend is typically sunny and warm in July with temps ranging from 75-90 degrees F. Please note that Bend is a high desert climate. We live at 3,500 feet of elevation and it is a drier climate.

Dan and Cristina are working to secure enough tubes for all those who want to float. If you have tubes that you can easily pack, please bring them! We recommend the River Run tubes. We will also have two inflatable boats for kids. If you want to purchase your own tube and have it sent to our house (they are ~$20 on Amazon). Link to tube on Amazon: https://a.co/d/aPdhaaW
