FAQs

Question

Where can I park?

Answer

There is parking at The Ridge Golf Course.

Question

Where can I get lodging?

Answer

Besides AirBNB, there is the new Marriott right near the venue. There is the Best Western Golden Key Hotel and we’ve set up a deal with Best Western to get 20 percent off if you book at the hotel by July 7, 2021. There are the Miners Camp that are some cute cabins in Foresthill. There is the Red Lion Hotel as well.

Question

What time does the wedding start?

Answer

The wedding begins at 5pm but there will be 20-30 minutes of introductory music.

Question

What time does the wedding end?

Answer

Unfortunately, the venue closes at 10:30pm but we may move the party to our house and our pool if we aren’t too tired. My parents may be hosting a smaller less rowdy crowd at their house (they may be at our pool party though - they are usually the life of the party 😜 ) Anyway, bring your bathing suit just in case we end up at the pool.

Question

How can I stay safe if I am not vaccinated?

Answer

Everyone will be required to wear a mask. Many of us, like Shelly and I and my parents, are vaccinated. We will ask people to notify us if they are vaccinated or not.
