FAQs
Question
Is it going to rain?
Answer
Yup.
Question
How should I pack for the weather?
Answer
Rain gear!!! Waterproof Shoes! Avoid cotton! Juneau, Alaska is located within the Tongass National Forest, the world's largest temperate rainforest! It is very likely it will rain during your stay so make sure you pack rain gear. The average high temperature on our wedding day is 57 F, and a low of 45 F. Therefore, it's also a good idea to pack warm. But make sure you also pack a few sunny day outfits :) Check the weather before you leave: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=58.3010372&lon=-134.4246377

Question
What is the dress code? What should I wear?
Answer
Cocktail (Alaskan edition). Feel free to dress up but keep it practical, sturdy shoes for (likely wet) grass, and layers for changing weather, and raincoats are absolutely welcome (and might be necessary). Think suits, dress pants with jackets, midi- or knee-length dresses, or dressy separates. Bring shoes that can get wet and consider bringing multiple pairs to the venue to change into to be comfortable at the reception. Feel free to express your style within this vibe!

Question
Is the ceremony/reception indoors or outdoors?
Answer
As of now, the ceremony will be outdoors and the reception will be under a heated tent outdoors on a grass lawn. Juneau is a rainy place, and the grass lawn may be wet during the reception, we recommend bringing a second pair of shoes to change into that are waterproof. Think xtra-tuffs, rain boots, or hiking shoes.
Question
Why Juneau?
Answer
Juneau is a special place. It's mountains, orcas, rain, great beer, good people, and breathtaking beauty. But most of all, it's because Natalie wanted to get married there.
