Nope! Nothing is expected of our guests besides good vibes and happy times. Oregon in August can be hot and sunny (or rainy). So long as it is not raining hard, the ceremony will be held outside so please come prepared, we will do our best to keep you cool and refreshed!
We have no issues with kids attending. Alcohol will be served throughout the event. If you're ok with your children being around us and alcohol, then they are more than welcomed!
It's roughly a half-hour (30-minute) drive without traffic from downtown.
Any of the surrounding cities is great! Nik is from the suburbs, specifically from Beaverton, which is about 20-25 minutes away from downtown Portland. It's a great central location to everything in the area. Whenever we're visiting his family or anyone in portland, we typically stay in an Airbnb in the Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro area.
We will have a cocktail hour with heavy hors d'oeuvres immediately following the ceremony. Dinner will be buffet style. There will be vegan and gluten free options as we understand that some families have dietary restrictions. We'll even provide vegan+gluten free desserts!
We will be serving alcohol. There are some stipulations with their bar: no shots, no BYOB, and Wine may be brought in for a corkage fee of $20 per 750ml bottle. Violation of these rules will cause us to have to pay additional fees for your actions. Please drink responsibly and designate a sober driver!
No, we do not have a registry. We have lived on our own and have a fully stocked home. We are saving up for house renovations and our honeymoon!
