FAQs
Question
Should we bring meals and drinks?
Answer
No, we will provide all food and drinks at Rainbow Lodge from Friday dinner through Sunday brunch. Food and drinks will be served to all wedding guests, regardless of whether you are staying at Rainbow Lodge or offsite. We will plan for meals based on your feedback in the RSVP. Please note that no outside alcoholic beverages are allowed at Rainbow Lodge. But why would you, drinks are on us.
Question
I will not be able to join for the entire weekend. Can I attend just certain events?
Answer
Yes! We would love to have you attend any portion that you are able to. The formal wedding activities will be on Saturday afternoon/evening from 4pm onwards.
Question
Are our children welcome?
Answer
Absolutely, we are expecting kids of all ages at the wedding and are planning some child-friendly programming. Rainbow Lodge offers some great room options for families with children. Please note that the lodge is located on mountainous terrain and alongside a river. The supervision and safety of your children remains your responsibility throughout the weekend. Please contact us if your child will require specific accommodations so we can discuss what options can be made available (e.g. high chair etc).
Question
Can I bring my pet?
Answer
No pets will be allowed at Rainbow Lodge throughout the weekend.
Question
What temperatures should we expect?
Answer
Rainbow Lodge is located at about 6,000ft (2,000m) and therefore has slightly cooler evening temperatures than other parts of California. We nevertheless expect day-time highs in the high 80s (~30C), dropping into the 60s (20C) in the evening. Consider bringing a scarf or sweater for the evening hours.
Question
What should we plan to wear?
Answer
Aside from the wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday afternoon, we are planning for a casual weekend. Wear whatever you are most comfortable in and take a look at our planned activities before packing your bags to make sure you have the appropriate clothing with you. The terrain around the lodge is rugged, so we recommend sturdy shoes if you are planning to explore. The wedding ceremony and reception will be formal / black-tie optional. Please note: The ceremony will be held outdoors and footpaths en route are rocky / grassy, so stilettos are not appropriate. We recommend block-heels, wedges or flats.
Question
Is there transportation available from any offsite accomodations?
Answer
No, we recommend staying on-site at Rainbow Lodge or at one of the nearby vacation rentals (see "Travel" section of our website). Most of the available accommodation options are walking distance.
Question
Is parking / EV charging available at Rainbow Lodge?
Answer
There is ample parking available at Rainbow Lodge for all guests, regardless of whether you are staying at Rainbow Lodge or staying offsite and only coming to the lodge for events and activities. There is no EV charging on-site, but ChargePoint and Tesla Superchargers are available at Lucky's Travel Plaza 4 miles West of the lodge along I-80.
