FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP?
Answer
We ask that you RSVP as soon as you can so we can organize with our vendors. However, the deadline to RSVP is September 9th, 2026.
Question
What if I can't make it?
Answer
Your presence will be missed! We ask that you RSVP "No" as soon as possible. If you have already RSVP'd "Yes" but find that your plans have changed, please notify the bride at (760) 473-9305 as soon as possible.
Question
What if I did not RSVP in time?
Answer
If we do not receive your RSVP by September 9th, 2026, it will automatically be marked "No." We will miss celebrating with you but it is imperative we provide our vendors with a final guest count within the time they have given us. Thank you for understanding!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive by 3:45 PM to find parking and grab your ceremony cocktail. Festivities will begin at 4:00 PM.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal, please! Feel free to wear anything from suits and gowns to cocktail attire, but not overly formal. Aim for a refined look that's comfortable for celebrating while keeping in mind the weather. If you are unsure - it's always better to be overdressed than underdressed! Wear whatever color you'd like, but please no white. Please keep in mind that the ceremony is on the lawn so ladies may want to be cautious of their heels.
Question
What are the wedding colors?
Answer
The bridesmaids will be in terracotta and the groomsmen will be in forest green suits. Our colors match our location - woodsy, greens, creams.
Question
Is the venue indoor or outdoor?
Answer
The ceremony is outside on the lawn, snow or sun! Bring a coat or jacket. Tahoe weather can be pretty unpredictable! Our cocktail hour and reception will be held indoors.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
Due to limited capacity, only guests formally invited on your wedding invitation will be accommodated. If you received a plus one, they will appear on your invitation and RSVP section of our website.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We love your little ones, we really do! However, we respectfully request no little ones on this night other than immediate family members' children. If you are unsure if that includes you, please refer to your formal wedding invite. We hope you take this as an opportunity to enjoy a fun date night!
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
The venue can accommodate up to 60 vehicles; however, we strongly encourage you to take an Uber or stay on Camp Richardson to walk. The road to Valhalla is windy and not well-lit. Vehicles CANNOT be left overnight!
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
First, thank you so much for traveling the distance to spend our special day with us! We have provided a list of accommodations under our travel tab with links provided for each location. You do not have to choose lodging listed, but we hope it helps in your search!
Question
Can I take photos and videos at the wedding?
Answer
Yes! We would love to see your POV of both the ceremony and reception. We kindly ask that you pay attention to our photographer so as not to interfere with her shots. She may also ask you to put your phone down as well.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
As the mother of the bride says, "is a pig's ass pork?"
