Welcome Event & Western Warm-up
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Yeehaw! Get Ready to Party! We’re kicking off the wedding weekend with a warm Western welcome, and we’d love for you to join us before the main event. Come enjoy tacos, drinks, and good company as we start the weekend the only way we know how: a little bit classy, a little bit country. The Attire: Wild West Chic This is your moment to fully lean in. When it comes to attire, the wilder the better. Think denim, fringe, cowboy boots and hats, bolo ties, statement belt buckles, or anything that says this clearly isn’t your first rodeo. Aspen chic, Kemo Sabe inspired, vintage western, full cowboy we’re here for all of it. Consider this your excuse to have fun, be festive, and start the weekend in style. See y’all there 🤠

Ceremony and Reception
4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Main Event We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding day with all of you and can’t wait to make things official surrounded by our favorite people. The ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing will all take place at the same venue, so get ready for a fun evening of celebrating and dancing beneath the redwoods. Attire is Semi Formal For the gentlemen, we suggest a suit or dress pants with a blazer or sport coat. Ties are optional. For the ladies, we suggest midi or floor length dresses. Please note there is a short walk between the ceremony and cocktail hour, so block heels, wedges, or dressy flats are recommended. Redwoods evenings can get chilly, so a light jacket or shawl may come in handy later in the evening. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
