Question

Do you have a map of important sites?

Answer

Yes, Jack has made a map for all guests highlighting important information about the wedding and the locations of note. This is a different map from the hiking trailhead map for recommended hikes and outdoor activities.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our wedding will be a formal affair, in terms of the dress code. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a suit and tie, while ladies can opt for a floor-length gown or formal cocktail dress during the ceremony and reception. The ceremony will be on a grass lawn, so wider high-heels are recommended. Dress code for the cocktail hour on Friday, and remaining schedule events is a casual. Sunriver is 4,200 ft above elevation, so definitely bring layers as it could be chilly at night.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm on Mt. Bachelor Lawn, then there will be a cocktail reception right after from 5:00-6:15pm. The reception will begin at 6:15pm in the Great Hall, so be ready to get Buck wild!

Question

Central Oregon Fun Facts

Answer

Sunriver Resort is along the Deschutes River and adjacent to the Deschutes National Forest. It is located 4,162 feet above sea level. This area is created by volcanic activity, and from the resort you should be able to see 4 volcanos! The Cascade Range created lava beds, lava tubes (see Redmond Caves for more), Volcanic Buttes (Such as where we got engaged), and is a High Desert climate. Bend, where Jack and Amelia live, is considered the outdoor recreation capital of Oregon.
