Question

is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Answer

We want to be upfront about accessibility limitations at our venue. Parking: Parking has a ramped pathway from the street to the venue. Please let us know when you RSVP if you need this ramp, so we can make sure to reserve a parking space for you closest to the venue and accessible via this ramp. Seating: Seating will primarily be over a grassy area, which can be a challenge for some wheelchairs. We're happy to reserve you a spot on firmer ground if that works better - just let us know when you RSVP. Restroom access: Restroom access currently requires navigating a few small steps. We are looking into providing a temporary ramp to make the restroom more accessible. Please reach out to discuss the type of accommodations you need so we can ensure our wedding is accessible to you.

Question

What is the parking like at the venue?

Answer

Street parking is available in the neighborhood surrounding the venue. It should be easy to find a spot, though you might have to walk a short distance. If you have difficulty walking short distances, please let us know so we can work on an accommodation for you. Uber and Lyft should not have any trouble accessing the venue, and carpooling is always a great option, too!

Question

Can I bring my kids to the wedding?

Answer

Yes, your children are welcome to the wedding! We're excited to celebrate with families and guests of all ages.

Question

What are you both up to now?

Answer

Mostly planning a wedding! But other than that, Payton is a nurse working as a clinical project manager, and Mike is an aerospace engineer. Because Payton works from home in Phoenix, the plan is for her to move to Tucson with Mike. Outside of work, we love hiking and backpacking, traveling, trying new restaurants, and can't wait to spend a lot less time driving back and forth between Phoenix and Tucson! After the wedding, we plan to honeymoon in Jackson, Wyoming, to explore Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Shortly after, we'll be attending the FIFA World Cup in Seattle. It's going to be a great year!
