FAQs

Question

What airport should I fly into? / How do I get there?

Answer

SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport)! Our venue is in the forest near beautiful Mount Rainier and takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to drive there from the airport. We recommend renting a car and/or carpooling.

Question

Is there a hotel block?

Answer

There is no hotel block. Since our venue is more remote than most, we recommend booking an Airbnb closeby or checking out our "nearby accommodations" page for local suggestions.

Question

Where can I get groceries to stock my cabin/airbnb?

Answer

There are multiple grocery stores along the drive from the airport to stock up at. We recommend getting what you need on the way. Near the venue you can find limited groceries and other small bites at Ashford Valley Grocery, Ashford General Store and Elbe Market Country Store.

Question

Where is the reception?

Answer

Question

Is the wedding outdoors?

Answer

Yes! We are so excited to celebrate our love in one of our favorite places in the world - the Pacific Northwest forest! We do have a tent for dinner and other covered areas in case we are blessed with a lucky wedding day shower.

Question

Can I bring a plus one? / Can I bring my child(ren)?

Since our venue is space restrictive, we ask that only those whose names are on the invitation envelope attend. If you aren't sure who is included in your invitation you can check the "RSVP" page.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We just want you to be comfortable and happy! If we had to pick a category, our wedding would fall between cocktail and formal attire. An important note for anyone wanting to wear heels: this wedding is in the forest and there will be areas with soft earth, so we recommend against stilettos!

Question

Can I take pictures with my phone?

Answer

We will be having a phone free ceremony! In order to help all of the guests and bridal party remain present (and to let our incredible photographer do what she does best) we ask that everyone keep their phones put away during the wedding ceremony. After that, go crazy!
