The wedding, reception, and our home are at Bentwater Yacht & Country Club, on Lake Conroe, 60 miles north of Houston . Whether you rent a car or take an Uber, its about 45 minutes north of George Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston (IAH). If you fly into Hobby Airport, add 45+ min to the drive, depending on traffic.
The first official event is 5 PM on Friday October 3. Check-in at Villas is 3 PM. If you need or want to arrive on Thursday, let us know with your RSVP and we will try to make accommodations. If you need to check in early on Friday, please coordinate wth Reservations. We can't wait to see you, whenever you arrive!
We'll host a getaway brunch at the Country Club (across the street from the villas) 9:00 - 10:30 AM on Sunday, October 5. Villa check-out is 11 AM. Depart when you need to.
We've pre-rented the Bentwater Villas, 1/2 mile from our house and one mile from our wedding venue. Once you confirm that you will join us and let us know your arrival day, the reservations department will contact you to confirm your reservation. We will have shuttles to both evening events and encourage you not to drive, even if you have a car. We'd rather you stay safe and enjoy the open bar!
The Friday ceremony will be outside, the reception inside. Dress ready to party. Saturday evening party will be a Texas Hoedown, indoors/outdoors, with BBQ, music, and line dancing lessons. Wear your Texas finest and boots, if you have them, or just casual for having a good ole Texas time. Check out the Country Club dress code page on this website for more detailed information.
Sleep in, take a walk, work out at the Sports Club, have breakfast at the Country Club, play tennis or pickleball, or relax by either of two pools (Sports Club or lakeside Yacht Club). Be sure to come by 11 Greenview 10 to 4 for food and refreshments, friendly low-stakes poker and socializing.
You are our guests. Get yourself to Bentwater. An Uber is $80 from/to IAH. We have handled the rest: villas, shuttles, food, and drink. Of course, if you lose $$ at poker, that's on you.
Once you arrive at Bentwater, transportation will be provided to the evening events. Shuttles from the Villas to the Friday ceremony begin at 4:50; shuttles back to Villas will run from 9 PM to 10:30 PM. Shuttles to Hoedown (30 min away) start at 5:30. Shuttles back to Vllas will run 9 PM to 10:30. Our house is half-mile from the Villas, an easy 15-min October walk. You might be able to catch a golf cart ride if you need one. All the daytime activities are easy walking distance.
October is usually one of the nicest and most moderate months, though we offer no guarantees. (It is Texas, after all.) Average daytime highs are 70s-80s. Night time lows 50s-70's. Events inside will be famously Texas air-conditioned, so Lisa also carries a sweater or a parka.
Sorry, but this is an adults-only event, unless your kids are related by blood to Lisa or Lee. Get a sitter and enjoy your time away!
No gifts, please! We have enough stuff, really. Don't piss us off by adding to our pile of stuff.
Text or email Lisa or Lee. Whomever you like best or think will give you the best answer. Lisa 978/877-0031, LisaOldham@icloud.com Lee 832/808-7946, Leethal3333@gmail.com
