Question
ADA Information
Answer
The venue has ADA-compliant bathrooms. The shuttle will not be able to drop people off directly at the pathway to the ceremony site. We will have family or friends who can drive those who need assistance from the shuttle drop off to the ADA parking spots down the path from the ceremony. For those who may need it, there is lake-side designated ADA parking.
Question
Registry
Answer
We plan to honeymoon in the Mediterranean in the spring of 2026, spending our time on the beaches of the Greek Islands, Italy, and southern France. We would love to have the support of our loved ones, but it is NOT necessary. Having you at our wedding in the Columbia Gorge is a gift in itself!
