Question
How do I book a room at The Buckhorn?
Answer
We have reserved the entire hotel for our families and elders. If that's you, we have sent you a separate email with detailed instructions on how to book. For those that may be interested in alternative accommodations, let us know so we can offer a motel room for someone else that may need it.
Question
Can I book a Buckhorn motel room if I am not family?
Answer
It is possible, but only if you reach out to Garrett & Anna directly to see if there are available rooms (TBD on RSVP's).
Question
How do I book a room or camp spot at Blue Sky Center?
Answer
We have reserved all the facilities at Blue Sky Center, a 7 minute walk from the Buckhorn. All bookings are managed by Garrett & Anna. The dorms and glamp huts are first come first serve. You can find all the room style and glamp info on the Travel/Lodging page on this website. Please reach out to Garrett & Anna, we're happy to provide more resources.
Question
If we're staying at Blue Sky Center, are there bathrooms to get ready?
Answer
We mention this in the Travel: Blue Sky section. There are multiple bathrooms in the facilities (3 private bathrooms + 2 multi-stall bathrooms). There are 3 showers at the facilities (2 single bathroom showers + outdoor shower). We will be setting up additional outdoor warm camp showers. There may also be an implemented Shower Schedule to keep the showers open and available for everyone onsite. We also mentioned there will most likely be other creative ways to get ready. There are additional open rooms in the Blue Sky Flagship building that will be allowed for people to get ready. In addition, hotel guests (like our room) or local airbnb/house bathrooms can be coordinated for folks too, if needed. We will make it work!
Question
I'm interested in reserving a local camper/RV or blocked house or airbnb, as mentioned in the Travel page. How do I do that?
Answer
Reach out to Garrett and Anna with your request. We've been trying to poll everyone about their accommodation preferences the last few months to gauge where people (or groups) would prefer to stay. Since we're handling most of the rentals and accommodations, let us know your thoughts and see if we can make the right arrangements for you or your family or group.
Question
Are kiddos invited?

Only if specified in your digital invitation! If you have questions just text us.
Question
What is the attire for Friday night's Welcome Party?

We're keeping things casual for Friday night, but if you want to come lookin' fly, sharp, or with a flair, we aren't stopping you! Look your damned best if that's what makes you feel good.
Question
What's the wedding attire?
Answer
Festive, celebratory, dressed-up-casual. If you want to go western, now's your chance! Just be prepared for uneven ground (gravel, sand, dirt) and the potential for chilly weather. Cuyama can get into the 40's at night, so bring something to layer over your fringe or Canadian tuxedo.
Question
How do I get to and from the wedding venue?
Answer
For those of you staying at The Buckhorn, it's a short 5 minute walk down Perkins Road. Many of you will be staying at Blue Sky, which is where the wedding and reception will take place.
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
3:30pm for a 4:00pm ceremony start.
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors
Answer
Outdoors! We cannot control how the weather will be, but we chose it because historically, late April is amazing weather. We're hoping for warm days and moderate nights, but there's always a chance that the days can be a little warmer and/or the nights can be a little colder. Regardless, there will be wood fire pits around the reception area. The Cantina will be inside space for those who are seeking a little more comfort.
Question
Can I bring a plus-one?
Answer
Only if indicated on your digital invitation email. If you have questions, just give one of us a call.

Question
What else is there to do in New Cuyama?
Answer
There are many short drives to nature hikes or vista points, such as the Carrizo Plain, Aliso Canyon Trailhead, or Santa Barbara Canyon. You can book a wine tastings at Condor's Hope Vineyard, or be poolside or playing Bocce at the Cuyama Buckhorn. We are working on additional programming, which (surprise) may include live screen printing or embroidery. You can check out this really cool community website to learn more about the valley: www.visitcuyama.com
Question
Is the night sky a beautiful sight?
Answer
Of course! New Cuyama is perfectly located where light pollution is the lowest in the greater region. On a clear night you can have some fun looking up and ponder all of life's intricacies. The night of the wedding (12:33 AM on 4/27) is officially the start of the new moon. Our wedding weekend will be a great weekend for stargazing since we are officially transitioning from the Pink Moon to the Flower Moon that night.
