We'd like to think we all love a reason to get fancied up and strut our stuff. It's going to be a fun party, dress the part. The sassier the better. Not necessarily black tie if you don't have one, but dress to impress!
Absolutely! The more the merrier. It's up to you if you want to bring the kiddos or want to take the opportunity for a weekend to yourself. Just make sure to RSVP for your total group. There will not be child care at the reception.
Hood River in early October is wonderful. High of 75 and low of 55. Called the windsurfing capital of the world, Hood River is located at the panoramic crossroads of the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Range. that being said it will likely be windy. The Columbia River snakes through this spectacular canyon on its westward journey before joining the Pacific Ocean. Nowhere else on earth exists such a wonder of desert and forest, cliffs and waterfalls, sun and rain. It's the only place in the world where a mighty river crashes through an entire mountain range.
There is limited parking around the hotel if not staying there. There is ample street parking around downtown but maybe give yourself a few extra minutes to find it.
Unfortunately, the reception and ceremony are being held on the lower level of the hotel. About 8 steps from the side door to the venue floor. there will be lots of strong muscles around for anyone who needs a little assistance.
Please refrain from using your phone during the ceremony, we want you present with us! However, we encourage you to take photos and video at all other times including the cocktail hour, reception and after party. Don't forget to tag #SMarksthespot !
Please direct your questions to either Steph or Mark. We are here to help!
