We’ve included an annotated map! The red box indicates where the ceremony and reception will take place and the blue boxes indicate available parking lots. Parking is first come, first served. The yellow arrow indicates the entrance. The ceremony will take place at Blackberry Meadow, and the reception in the adjacent Blackberry Hall
Dressy Casual! Keep in mind that the ceremony will be outside, on grass, and in direct sunlight due to venue restrictions. Don’t worry, the ceremony won’t be that long, Matika hates sweating too.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 pm. Please arrive no later than 4:30 pm to find your seat and parking. We kindly request no late entry to the ceremony.
At the reception? Sure! Go hog wild. At the ceremony we kindly request that you leave all cell phones or cameras in your pocket or purse. We hired an excellent team of photographers to capture the moment, so sit back and enjoy!
The ceremony will be taking place in a meadow outside. Allegedly mid-September in Oregon is dry and warmer. Plan for direct sunlight during the ceremony, as we are unable to put up a tent/shade due to venue restrictions. We are also unable to place a carpet or runner on the grass so plan footwear accordingly!
Both the ceremony and reception are in venues that are ADA accessible, with ADA accessible bathrooms. Please advise of any specific accessibility concerns ASAP so we can plan accordingly.
We have, and unfortunately we are unable to reserve specific parking at the Edgefield facility, but you can feel free to park anywhere on the property. There is a small lot near Blackberry Hall which is first come first served.
In case of inclement weather the ceremony will be taking place in the reception space- the adjacent Blackberry Hall
Obviously. There will be a dinner buffet provided. Please advise of any dietary restrictions ASAP! We may not be able to accommodate substitutions requested after July 15, 2025. Please also note that no outside food is permitted per the venue.
Wherever you want! However, we have reserved a block of rooms for our wedding at the McMenamins Edgefield property for both the night before and night of the wedding for any guests who wish to stay on the property. Please note that many of these rooms are “European style” with shared hall bathrooms due to the historic nature of the building. Please reference the Levy/Shambaugh wedding when contacting McMenamins. If you prefer a more traditional hotel we have also reserved a block of rooms at the Best Western Troutdale less than a mile away from the venue. Please reference the Levy/Shambaugh wedding when reserving to receive the wedding block discount.
Yes! Please advise us of the number and ages of children in your party. Please be advised that the bride likes to swear.
As much as we love being surrounded by family, friends, and well wishers, we kindly ask that only the people listed on the invitation attend.
