Flight
There are several smaller airports throughout the area, but we would recommend flying into Portland, OR for the weekend!
Travel Note
There is a CASH ONLY or online PRE-PAID bridge to cross from Hood River, OR to White Salmon, WA. The toll is in both directions. THE BRIDGE IS CLOSED STARTING FRIDAY, JUNE 24 at 12:01am THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS BRIDGE TO CROSS THE RIVER THE DAY OF THE WEDDING! You will need to use the next closest bridge to cross the Columbia River- The Bridge of the Gods. This will add approximately 40min to the commute. We have secured van transportation for convenience. Jeanette and Peter will be reaching out to everyone in the coming days to provide more details.
House Or Rental
This five bedroom bed and breakfast in White Salmon is 1 mile from the wedding venue. The entire bed and breakfast has been placed on hold for wedding guests! ROOMS MUST BE BOOKED 90 DAYS IN ADVANCE! Please call 509-493-0517 to speak with Gretchen or you can email her, rubyjuneinn@gmail.com. During the summer weekends, it is required that you stay Friday and Saturday night, however I have asked her to also block off Thursday night if you are planning to attend the Welcome Party Thursday evening. During the summer, Ruby June Inn hosts a Chefs Collective Dinner on Saturday evenings for 28 people total. Amazing guest chefs from Hood River prepare a five course meal that is served outside in the Ruby June gardens with wine and music. Guests staying in the the Inn on Saturday night are automatically reserved tickets, however you can decline purchasing a ticket if you would prefer.
