The Wedding Website of Sara Finkleman and Matthew LaCourse
Our venue, AtTheJoy, is located in the Willamette Valley. We highly recommend guests stay in the charming town of McMinnville, since this is where we will be hosting our welcome party and goodbye brunch. The state capitol, Salem, is also convenient to the wedding venue. Both towns are a ~15-20 min scenic drive to the venue but are ~40 min away from each other. We've included a list of lodging recommendations below for our guests, including rooms blocks for the weekend. The Willamette Valley is a popular summer destination, so we highly recommend booking accommodations at least 8 months in advance. To avoid missing any wedding events, we suggest guests visiting from out of town arrive in the Willamette Valley no later than Saturday mid-day and check out no earlier than Monday morning. The Willamette Valley is located ~ 1 hour south of Portland, Oregon / ~ 4 hours south of Seattle, Washington by car.
