Space for the wedding ceremony is limited, and we have about maxed that out in invites. Since space is limited, we ask that you please email us if you intend to bring a plus-one and didn't get an option for one in the RSVP. Please do not hesitate to ask! Contrary to that, the reception in town at Volcanic Theatre Pub, AFTER THE WEDDING, will be able to host and hold a plus-one for anyone. We hope to be able to include as many of our friends and family as possible.
While there is camping and cabins at Elk Lake. We suggest staying somewhere in town as the reception will be in Bend and it would be a pain to go back to the lake after celebrating. Campfire Hotel is one of our favorite, fun local hotels. SpringHill Suites and the Peppertree are both great options that are super close to the venue. The good news is, that most things in Bend are close by, 15 minute drive at most. We highly suggest booking in advance though since this will be a holiday weekend for our tourist town. Please reach out if you need more recommendations or have any questions.
In an attempt to keep this an adult-based event, we have limited kids at the wedding down to very few select family. Children under 18 also need to be taken home by 9:30 please, before the band starts playing - its bound to get rowdy. We love your kids, but consider this a fun date night! If bringing your kids is the only way you can attend, please reach out and we can help come up with a solution.
Bend, OR is generally sunny and hot in July. Prepare for heat during the day with cooling temps at night...also be prepared for mosquitos at the lake.
