There is a hot tub and pool for open use as well, so bring a swimsuit. Though most likely temperatures will make pool time only for the brave at heart.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The temperatures should be mild during the day and chilly at night, so bring layers. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors (as is the entire weekend) so comfortable clothing and footwear any time outside of the ceremony and reception is appropriate. The venue has varied terrain, so keep that in mind when picking your footwear. Also, please note that the venue could have rain during this time of year. While the reception area will be protected from rain, the remaining areas of the venue, outside of the lodging, will be exposed to the elements. We suggest bringing a raincoat or umbrella. And while dressy casual is more than enough for the ceremony and reception portion of the weekend, anybody who is looking to ‘dress to the nines’ for the festivities (which we encourage!), know that there are many accommodating amenities on-site to aid in those endeavors! As far as needing to curl hair, do makeup, get FANCY, there will be several outlets for hair tools, as well as full body mirrors and vanities in the on-site Yurt. The Yurt will be open for all to use until closed for wedding party use only 90 mins prior to the ceremony. There will also be mirrors and outlets in all of the bathrooms for use.

Question

What should I bring?

Answer

Bring anything you would need for a weekend away. Any normal toiletries that you’d bring to any out of town stay are recommended. We also recommend bringing a flashlight, a towel and an outdoor throw. For those traveling out of state, with limited packing space, we will have a limited supply of these types of items. Bring joy, as this will be a wonderful weekend with family and friends in a beautiful natural environment.
