While we wish we could accommodate everyone that we (and you) love, unfortunately we do need to keep to the guest count we've already planned for. Only those who recieved an invitation will have seats and meals available for them. Thank you for respecting this necessity, we really appreciate it.
Yes! The gravel parking lot is directly behind the reception tent, and there is plenty of parking for guests. The ceremony and reception are both in the same area. Of course, if you are staying the night at Celilo Inn, you have the option to just walk to and from the wedding right from your room!
We would be thrilled if you came Friday so you can join us that evening for a casual welcome mingler at Sunshine Mill just down the road from Celilo Inn. We're still deciding details, but there will definitely be something to nosh on, and Sunshine Mill has some of the best wines in the region available in their tasting room. Plus it's one of the most unique spaces I've ever been to- it's so cool! You won't want to miss it. Come mingle with us and catch up with those you haven't seen in awhile, along with brand new faces who are now family! :) (See details in the Schedule section)
The bar will have choices for wine and beer. Each guest will recieve 2 drink tickets for the bar, after that it will be a credit/debit cards bar. :) Drink tickets can be used toward all drinks- water, ice tea and lemonade will be self serve and free of charge. Non-alcoholic choices will include water, ice tea, lemonade, Coke, Diet Coke and possibly other sodas. (Don't worry Gigi and Michell- there will be tons of Diet Coke on hand... lol!) The signature drink will be dirty sodas! We'll at least be doing coconut and vanilla, but possibly other flavors as well- tbd.
All we ask is that you dress appropriately for the occasion- it's a wedding, yay! :D Take the opportunity to get gussied up! :D Dresses, jumpsuits, slacks and blouses, suits, khakis, linen pants, collared shirts, polos- you get the idea. :) *Note: if you like florals, pleeease wear florals! There is no such thing as too many florals, lol! :D The entire ceremony and reception area is concrete, so feel free to wear those heels if you like- the only area that isn't concrete is the parking lot, and that is also where the bathrooms are, so keep that in mind... Any colors or prints are fine, but for those who want to know, there are several colors and shades we're using for the wedding: Plum, Amethyst, Lavender, Orchid, Blush Pink, Moss and Sage greens, Navy and light blue.
