Q & a

Question

Where is the ceremony taking place?

Answer

Our ceremony would be held at the top of the mountain at Pats Peak! Our guests would be taken up and down the mountain using the ski chair lifts. If you cannot board this lift due to mobility issues, please let us know in advance so we can arrange alternative transportation for you.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

It would take some time to bring our guests to the top of mountain for the ceremony (3:00 pm), so we require our guests to arrive an hour prior to the start of the ceremony. The last chair lift is reserved for the bride at 2:45 pm. If you arrive later than this, you would not be able to join the ceremony.

Question

Where is the reception taking place?

Answer

It would be at the lodge at the base of Pats Peak mountain. Guests would be ferried down the mountain after the ceremony for the cocktail hour followed by the reception.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony is outdoors, while our cocktail hour and reception are both indoors/outdoors. Dinner would be served inside the lodge, but we also have an outdoor patio with heating lamps so people can hangout outside if they wanted.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Elevated Cocktail Attire: LBDs, knee-length, midi or even long dresses, suit and tie, slacks, and jackets. Be fancy, glammed up, and blinged. Make sure that you are dressed to impress, but still 100% comfortable!

Question

What should I NOT wear?

Answer

Our venue requires that guests do not wear stiletto heels for the ceremony since the mountaintop is too steep and inconvenient to walk in pointy heels. If you must wear high heels, it is in your best interest to choose chunky heels or wedges.

Question

Any colors I should not wear?

Answer

Please do not wear white, ivory, or any shades of red.

Question

Is Pats Peak a very tall mountain? What if I'm deathly scared of heights?

Answer

Pats Peak has a vertical drop of 770ft and with top elevation of 1460ft. The chair lift taking you to the top has a safety bar to keep you secured and it should move slowly. However, if you are extremely afraid of heights, please let us know so we can provide alternative arrangements.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We want everyone to enjoy the day! Most of our guests are invited to bring their spouse, significant other, or a dance partner. It should be indicated on your invitation if you can bring a plus-one!

Are kids welcome?

Although we adore your little ones, our wedding is an adults-only event (so no kids!). We want our wedding to be your night off, so please plan accordingly.
