While we are hoping the weather will be pleasant, the mountainous location means there is always an unexpected possibility of cooler temperatures and rain. The ceremony will be outdoors rain or shine, so please check the weather forecast and consider bringing an umbrella or raincoat if needed. If you tend to get cold, we also recommend bringing a coat for the evening reception.
Both the ceremony and the reception will be held outdoors. The ceremony will take place under the canopy of apple orchards towards the back of the lodge, while the reception will be held on a charming covered patio connected to the lodge. Please keep in mind that the ceremony will be on a grassy area, which may be soft underfoot. We recommend choosing footwear that’s suitable for the terrain, and suggest avoiding skinny heels for your safety and comfort!
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. To ensure a smooth start, we kindly ask that you plan to arrive at least 20-30 minutes earlier to allow ample time for parking and getting settled in your seat before we begin. Those not seated before 4:00 PM are asked to remain in their car until the ceremony is over.
We kindly request guests to enhance the ambiance of the lodge by wearing semi-formal attire in neutral tones & darker hues. The bridesmaids will be in a “Eucalyptus Green” color, so please avoid this choice & white!
We had to be selective in who we were able to invite since we are both blessed with a lot of loved ones. With limited space, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited.
