✨🍂 Think autumn romance with vintage sparkle — festive, comfortable, and layered for an Oregon October evening, with room for whimsy and personal style.
We’re choosing an unplugged ceremony and kindly ask that phones and cameras be tucked away so we can all be fully present in the moment together.

We’ll be serving a light dinner inspired by the cozy British pub fare at Santiam Brewing. What you can expect: an evening of celebration featuring our ceremony, dinner, mocktails, meaningful connection, and an open mic filled with music, creativity, and community.
For all the days along the way
