FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will start at 4 pm, please plan to arrive onsite at 3:30 pm at the latest. You will need time to park and walk to the chapel in the woods, which is located approximately 10/15 min walk from the main entrance. We will guide a group into the chapel at 3:45 pm. There will also be ample signage to guide you if you happen to be late.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please register with Silver Lake, if you are staying onsite, as well as RSVP here on Zola by May 1st.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes!! We have included children and babies in the RSVP and would love to see them at the ceremony and the reception. After we have received everyone's RSVP we will reach out to see if anyone is interested in child care options (like hiring a babysitter onsite.)
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Please refrain from bringing anyone who was not sent an invitation. Text Sarah or Jordan if you have a special request.
Question
Where Do I Park?

An email with parking details and maps will be sent ahead of the wedding. A link to a map of Silver Lake can be found here (copy & past link into web browser): https://www.silverlakect.org/files/websites/sl/Silver+Lake+Site+Map.pdf
Question
Can I Explore Silver Lake?
Answer
Yes! We hope you spend time walking the grounds. Sarah wants you to pop into the Art Grotto and soak up some of the poetry painted on the walls. Jordan wants you to find peace in the Composting Toilet. Find Waterfall Chapel and enjoy the sounds of nature. Walk down to the waterfront and admire Mudge Pond, just know you'll have to walk back up the steep hill. Please refrain from swimming and stay off the ropes course elements. Do not go into staff designated areas (there will be ample signage). Maps will be available at the Health and Welcome Center.
