Question

Why a wedding weekend?

Answer

We wanted to be able to spend as much time with our loved ones as possible. We figured by having a few days away, we would be able to maximize our time together. We wanted our guests to have a nice, relaxing weekend away and Sojourn will provide just that. Activities will include: laying by the pool, playing in the lake, playing yard games, having campfires, eating, drinking (lots of drinking), and just enjoying each other's company!

Question

So, how early can we come up for the weekend?

Answer

We will have access to the Sojourn Resort and all amenities from Thursday, June 24 at 3:00 p.m. to Sunday, June 27 at 10:00 a.m. Kelsie, Jake, parents, and most of the bridal party will arrive on Thursday. We plan to have a very casual evening on Thursday with playing yard games and having a fire. Anyone who is in town is welcome to join. Remember to bring your favorite beverage as drinks will not be provided.
