FAQs

Question

What attire should I wear to the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Please wear semi formal clothes (nice jacket, dress, kilt etc.) that align roughly with the colors on our invite (pictured on this websites home tab) and you feel comfortable in! There is grass so be mindful if wearing heels. Please mind the weather as we get closer to the event, if hot, note that AC is limited at this location.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Edgefield has lots of parking onsite as well as a small lot behind Blackberry hall. If a concert is scheduled for the day of the ceremony, showing up earlier in the day might be a good idea to avoid the concert crowds.

Question

Do I have to stay at the Edgefield hotel?

Answer

Of course not, there are many great options for lodging in the nearby areas but would require a car, or you can drive up from Portland for the event and not stay overnight (just plan ahead if you anticipate drinking).

Question

Are there Gluten Free or Vegan food options available?

Answer

Yes! McMenamins offers several gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan food options at their onsite resteraunts. Our Reception will have some gf and v options but may be good to pack snacks or a small meal prior to the event to be sure you are satisfied/have enough choices day of.

Question

Is the venue ADA?

Answer

Yes, this spot is mainly ADA accessible including our ceremony location. You can call ahead to make sure you have parking or rooms which have this confirmed.

Question

Are babies/small kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! We would like to welcome our family and friend's children and little ones, please make sure you note the number of people in your party while RSVP as they are included in that group. We would recommend perhaps staying on site in case of diaper changes/feeding/crying so you could easily take a moment during the event if needed.

Question

Are dogs welcome?

Answer

If your dog is ok to be left alone in a hotel room for the ceremony and reception then they are welcome. Please also make sure they are up to date on vaccinations and heartworm/flea/tick meds. You will also need to make sure you book a pet friendly room with the venue should you be staying on site. There are great parks nearby for running your dog or taking it hiking as well!

Question

Is there a room discount for guests?

Answer

Unfortunately not, but if you book in advance or are comfortable sharing with another attendee this could help split costs. We do have a block of rooms reserved, but many will have separate bathrooms, so please book consciously if you would like a private bathroom.

Question

For gifts, should we ship or bring them physically?

Answer

Since we will be traveling to Oregon, please send registry items to our requested address if possible or contribute to a cash fund. We will likely not have a ton of room in our bags for flying to and fro.
