Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE FOR EACH EVENT?

Answer

Please plan on bringing an outer layer for nighttime activities. Pool Kick Back: Casual / swimsuits! Welcome Party: Dressy casual. Think elevated summer vibes! Ceremony and Reception: Mountain Chic — Ladies: think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or smart separates! Bring a light layer for cooler evening temps. Our wedding will be held outdoors with gravel walkways and grass, so please reach for the block heels/sandals, boots or wedges and leave the stilettos at home. For Men: suit or nice button-down with or without a sports coat/blazer and slacks or chinos. Please no jeans. No need for ties, unless you really want to dress to impress!

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

It is not 100% necessary to rent a car if you have other means of transportation from the airport or can carpool, however, it is recommended to be able to explore the surrounding areas! All events will be on property and Nakoma housing is walkable or accessible by the free Nakoma shuttle service. If you are not staying on the Nakoma property, however, you will likely need to drive to the events at the venue. **PLEASE NOTE****If you are renting a car out of the Reno-Tahoe Airport, please be advised that Burning Man begins on August 30 and you should book a rental as early as possible. Turo is also another great rental option. Uber and Lyfts are not common in the Nakoma surrounding area, but see below for a few airport transfer taxi services from the Reno airport: https://www.taxitahoe.com https://tahoetaxiexpress.com https://northlaketahoeexpress.com

Question

WILL THERE BE FOOD TO PURCHASE ON PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF THE HOSTED WEDDING EVENTS?

Answer

There are two restaurants on property: Fifty44 (steakhouse at the lodge at the top) & Middle Fork Bar & Bistro (Pool Restaurant at Altitude).

Question

WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE THIS TIME OF YEAR?

Answer

Late Summer in the Sierra Mountains is one of the best times of year. The weather during the day is typically sunny and in the mid to high 70s/low 80s. At night, it cools down comfortably, to the 60s and high 50s, so we recommend bringing some layers.

Question

Fun Nakoma/Frank Lloyd Wright Facts!

Answer

The Nakoma Lodge (location of the wedding ceremony) design was conceived in 1923 by the famous Frank Lloyd Wright! Johnny's Grandparents (The Beckers) were big fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, and even had sent a letter to Mr. Wright to see if he would design their house! He (surprisingly) personally responded, kindly denying their request. Nicole Fazio's (one of Jenna's best friends), Grandpa was a general surgeon and was involved in something health related for Mr. Wright, and they bonded! Frank Lloyd Wright built Nicole's dad's childhood home in Indiana! Jacqui Lebel's (friend of Jenna & Johnny's from Truckee!) Dad built the Altitude Recreation building, where our welcome drinks will take place!
