Before we say "I Do"
5:00 pm
12970 Earhart Avenue, Auburn, CA 95602
Casual
Whether you are an out-of-towner or a lifetime resident, feel free to join us for a relaxed afternoon at one of our favorite breweries. This is an open, no-host event. A food truck will be available for snacks. No need to RSVP but if you know you'll make it, we'd love to know so we can request a larger area. Unless it's freezing (and I mean like 40 deg and storming), we'll be outside under a covered patio with heat lamps so be sure to bring layers & dress accordingly.

Welcome Event
3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Foresthill, CA 95631
Come dressed for the wedding!
Whether you are checking into the venue or not, please join us before the ceremony at our wonderful venue, the Forest House Lodge, for snacks and a cash bar. You will receive directions to the ceremony location at this time and please plan to carpool to the ceremony location (approximately 1.5 miles from the venue).
Ceremony
4:15 pm
Cocktail to Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits, slacks and cocktail dresses. Ties *highly* encouraged for men. No jeans or shorts!
Ceremony will be held at 4:20pm and outdoors regardless of weather conditions. Umbrellas and blankets will be provided, if needed. A cobblestone path leads guests from dirt parking area to seating area, so heels only recommended for the experienced. In case of inclement weather, ladies are encouraged to wear toasty footwear for the ceremony and change back into heels at the Lodge for the reception and remaining festivities. PARKING IS LIMITED! Carpooling highly recommended (hence the Welcome Event starting at 2pm). The ceremony is expected to last no more than 30 minutes so plan on spending about an hour outside.
Reception
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Foresthill, CA 95631
Cocktail hour begins back at the Lodge post-ceremony followed by dinner and general merriment. This wedding will resemble more of a dinner/cocktail party with several lounge areas, a limited open bar, and live background music. Expect the dance music at the afterparty! A buffet will be offered with entree choices of tri-tip, stuffed chicken and seared ahi (and you may try all three). If you have special dietary needs not listed below, please contact Elise. Because the bride & groom are both lactose-intolerant, all dishes will be LACTOSE-free (not dairy free). The chef is vegan and will create a chef's choice vegan &/or gluten-free meal for those who require it.
After Party
Thu, Apr 20, 2023, 10:00 pm - Fri, Apr 21, 2023, 6:00 am
Club Attire: cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and buttoned up shirts for the gents
The merry-making transitions to an adults-only party. Feel free to make a wardrobe change - remove that tie, slip on a cocktail dress, & get a little sparkly! And do not forget your slippers - your feet will thank you (and yes, the bride & groom will be wearing slippers too)...
