FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Arrive before 9:30am. Parking on Little Bear Rd. The ceremony is a ten minute walk over natural terrain and we ask that everyone is seated before the ceremony begins at 10am. Feel free to come early and enjoy morning time and wildlife in the meadow. Please turn off your cell phone and stow your camera for our unplugged ceremony.

Question

What should I expect?

Answer

A day reflective of Drew and Lauren's shared love for togetherness, the Lost Sierra, music, low-waste, casual delicious food, D.I.Y. and a funky aesthetic. Expect a marathon rather than a sprint. Prepare yourself for an epic party with a lot of laid-back socializing. Prepare to eat, drink and be merry, then bus your own dishes and fill your own cup.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Dress comfortably and plan for any weather. This includes a warm coat, a sun hat, shoes for natural terrain. And of course, look fabulous. Can you achieve the look good, feel good, do anything in this outfit for 8+ hours look? Yes, we know you can. Don't be scared of an outfit change. The temperature in the mountains drops quickly once the sun goes down and that's a great time to get funky and don a fur or faux fur jacket.

Question

What should I bring?

Are dogs allowed?

Answer

Leave the dogs at home for this one. Our wedding venue is a protected natural habitat with abundant wildlife and not suitable for a wild pack of our favorite four-leggers.
