6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
We would love to greet all of our guests the evening before the wedding and allow everyone to get to know each other.
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Sunday Best (dresses, skirts, blouses, pants, button downs, slacks, ties) Please no: jeans, women in white, all black or all red outfits.
Ceremony will be held at the Cathedral Beach location within the park. It is a rock river bed with no paved path. I would suggest comfortable shoes since this will be a standing ceremony. Family photos to follow.
5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Following the ceremony we will be sending our guests to the Ahwahnee Hotel for dinner and drinks. The newlyweds will be off taking photos after the ceremony until sunset, so we invite you to eat without us and/or gets drinks at the bar. Unfortunately, only hotel guests can make dinner reservations, so you will all have to wait for a table. Dinner is buffet style for a flat rate for adults. There is a separate bar in the hotel. Considering that our guests will be eating without us, we invite you to grab dinner at a different location if you wish to, the given option is simply our suggestion. After the ceremony, guests are invited to entertain themselves until the after party, while keeping in mind the hour drive time between the park and Mariposa.
9:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Anything goes.
After we wrap up in Yosemite, we invite you all back the VRBO we will be staying in for drinks and cake. This time would be best for any toasts or speeches anyone would like to make.
