The closest airport to the lake is Spokane International Airport (GEG) in Spokane, Washington. This is roughly a 1.5 hour drive to Sandpoint, Idaho, where we recommend our guests stay. Please see the 'Travel & Hotel Info' tab for more information.
Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft are not available in Sandpoint, or any of the towns surrounding the lake. Luckily, Sandpoint is a very small and walkable town!
Our wedding venue (Beyond Hope Resort) is roughly a 30-minute drive from downtown Sandpoint. Buses will take guests from Sandpoint to our venue, and back at the end of the night. There is also a parking lot at the venue if you opt to drive.
Due to venue capacity, we’re only able to accommodate those specifically named on your Save the Date/Invitation. We hope you understand and are so excited to celebrate with you!
Our wedding will be outdoors with a shaded lakeside ceremony and tented reception space. Ladies—consider your shoe options, as we will be on gravel, the lawn and concrete. We recommend a block heel, wedges, or flats.
Cocktail Attire (Color encouraged!) We suggest that men wear a suit in any color and women wear a cocktail dress or jumpsuit. Please avoid jeans and white or very light-colored dresses.
The Festival at Sandpoint will be happening July 24-August 3. Availability of accommodations may be limited, so please plan accordingly!
Late July in Sandpoint is usually warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-90s. Evenings can be cooler, dipping into the mid-50s to 60s, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater if you tend to get chilly. It’s a beautiful time of year to enjoy the natural surroundings!
