Question
About the Venue
Answer
Parking at Caberfae: The parking lot is located directly in front the the ceremony space and to the left of the lodge. Due to Caberfae Peaks being a functioning ski resort for a majority of the year, the parking lot is made of dirt and is subject to some rough terrain. Ceremony Space: The ceremony will be held outside on the lawn between Mackenzie and Blackmere lodge with a back up location inside Blackmere Lodge if weather takes a turn. Please plan accordingly for a short outdoor ceremony in early May. Reception: Cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception will be held inside Blackmere lodge. There is a flight of stairs to get up to the dinner area. If you require assistance to get up the stairs, please reach out to the bride or groom as soon as possible. After dinner, the party will continue back downstairs on the dance floor! The Restroom Situation..: Guests will not have access to the reception space prior to the ceremony. There are restrooms located in the lobby of the hotel, which is only a short walk from the ceremony space. Once the ceremony is concluded, guests will be invited inside Blackmere lodge for the start of cocktail hour. Restrooms are located on the ground floor only. If needed during dinner, you will have to go down the stairs to use the restroom.
Question
Is there a dress code for the wedding?
Answer
We ask that guests come in cocktail attire. For women, think dresses that are mid thigh to ankle length in luxurious fabrics, such as silk and chiffon. For men, we ask that you wear a suit and tie for the ceremony. All colors apart from white and ivory are welcome! There's rarely an occasion to dress up, so let's all have fun with it!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Yes, if your invitation is addressed to you and a guest. We can't wait to celebrate with you and your guest!
Question
Are kids Welcome?
Answer
While we would love to celebrate with everyone we love, due to limited space this will be an adults-only celebration, with the exception of children specifically named on the invitation.
Question
Where Can I Find Accommodations?
Answer
We have blocked all rooms available at Caberfae Peaks for the night of the wedding. In addition to the resort, we have also blocked rooms at Days Inn and Holiday Inn in Cadillac. More information can be found on our 'travel and lodging' page.
Question
Cell Phone and Cameras

Question
What's on the menu?
Answer
Cocktail hour and dinner will be catered by Caberfae Peaks. Dinner will be a plated meal with two entree selections.

We hope you enjoy the menu we have selected!

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Question
This is all great, but what about the drinks?
Answer

Yes! You can RSVP on this website at any time. If you received a Save the Date from us, you can now RSVP. RSVPing also helps us with our plans (speaking with caterers, DJ, etc.). So please RSVP as soon as you are able! We will be sending out invitations in the coming weeks, but there is no need to wait until you get an official paper invite in the mail. Thank you!
