FAQs

The Wedding Website of Rachel Bernhardt and David Balmforth
Question

Which entrance to Lewis and Clark should I use? Where will I park?

Answer

When going to Lewis and Clark, enter at Gate 2. Proceed down the road to the very end and park in Lot E near Fir Acres theater. Then, follow the signs and enjoy your short walk to the Estate Gardens!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! Please leave the kids at home and come celebrate with us!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is complimentary parking at Lewis and Clark! There will be signs at the front entrance directing you where to park. From the parking lot it is just a short walk to the ceremony space.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose. Also, keep in mind that you will definitely have to walk on cobblestones, and likely on grass, so keep that in mind- we would avoid stilettos :)

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is gift enough. Seriously. But because you asked we are registered at Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma. Please visit our Registry page for more information!

Question

Where is the ceremony/reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will both be at Lewis & Clark College in SW Portland. Their address is: 0615 SW Palatine Hill Rd, Portland, OR 97219 Phone: (503) 768-7000 Website: lclark.edu

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m on August 3rd. We kindly ask guests to arrive 10-20 minutes prior to grab a glass of bubbly and start mingling.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Oooh la la. In order to keep our guest list on track we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions!

Question

What time will the reception end?

Answer

The official wedding party will wrap up at 10pm, but there will definitely be an afterparty!! Location TBD

Question

What if I have a dietary restriction?

Answer

Please let us know when you RSVP on this website under the notes section- we are more than happy to accommodate!

Question

May I take photos?

Answer

No (during the ceremony) and Yes!! (any other time). We will have a wonderful photographer who will be there during the whole event. During the ceremony, we don't want our guests to worry about trying to get photos of us reading our vows. Leave the ceremony to the pro but feel free to snap away once that's over. All we ask is that you include our wedding hashtag on any social media posts! #wedabalm
