Y'all ready for this?

We're getting married! Festivities will take place at a beautiful, mountain-top sanctuary near Ben Lomond, California: The Sequoia Retreat Center. The facility is made up of a constellation of ceremonial and communal spaces, general-purpose buildings, and cozy little cabins, all situated beneath a towering family of California Redwoods. And we want all our friends and family to come party in the woods with us. We have the whole place to ourselves from Thursday to Monday morning, with events planned throughout. We hope everyone can join us for as much of the weekend as they can. That being said, even if it's just Saturday for the ceremony and reception, we are excited to have you there. We will have cabins and large glamping tents on site that are bookable for all our guests. Those who prefer a non-camping experience, there are a couple hotels just minutes from the venue, and could be a great option as well.

We are so blessed to have so many friends and relatives across the US, with many of them based around the Midwest, where Stephen grew up. We know it may be hard for all friends and family to make it out to California, so we are also planning a second reception in the Chicago area. Anyone up for dinner, a rooftop party, and fire pits?! Isabelle is already sold on a reason to wear her wedding dress again. The party will be on November 13th, 2021, and will be held at The Elm in La Grange, IL. We will start with dinner, and then turn to drinks, socializing, and dancing well into the night. More details are available on our "Schedule" page. We can't wait to party with all of you!
