Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
We love your kids, but unfortunately we are unable to include individuals not listed on the invitation due to capacity restrictions at our venue. However, we understand that many of our family and friends are traveling from a distance and may not have childcare, so we have included kids on specific invitations. Please note that this will still be programmed as an “adults-only” event after 9 PM (i.e. the playlist will not be PG).

Question
What kind of food will be served?
Answer
For the cocktail hour there will be passed hors d’oeuvres. It will be a plated dinner (you will choose your main when you RSVP) and we will have accommodations for those with dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian).
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
While there is ample parking at the venue, you are not allowed to leave a car overnight. The venue is located on a windy mountain road. If you plan on enjoying the open bar, or are not comfortable driving at night, we highly recommend utilizing the shuttle buses that will be traveling to and from the hotels (the hotels listed for blocks). There are not a lot of Ubers in the area, so don’t count on that as an option.
Question
Do you have a hotel block for guests?
Answer
Yes! Please see the “Travel” page for details on hotel blocks at two nearby hotels. There are also lots of Airbnb’s in the area, however please note that the shuttle will not be stopping anywhere except the hotels and the venue.
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
Yes! Please see the “Registry” page above on our website. We know many of you are traveling to celebrate with us, so the greatest gift you can give us is the honor of your company. We are so excited to celebrate with you!
