The ceremony will start at 5pm, but a pre-ceremony cocktail hour will start around 4pm if you want to be a bit early and grab a drink! Is this a ploy to make sure everyone is on time - yes. Will it work - hopefully.
There will be a shuttle able to pickup anyone that wants a ride up to the venue from 2 locations in Hood River. Pickup at 4pm - Please plan to be on one of these shuttles! -Columbia Lot @ SW Corner of Columbia St & 5th Street, Downtown Hood River -Best Western Plus: 1108 E Marina Dr, Hood River, OR 97031 Drop off at After-Party Location and same two pickup spots! There's plenty of parking if you do want to drive yourself! Just a heads up, the drive up is only about 10-15 minutes from downtown Hood River, but the last bit is a little steep and the parking lot is gravel.
The parking lot is gravel and the outdoor ceremony/dancing area is brick pavers so please wear appropriate footwear! Block heels, platforms, or flats recommended.
