FAQs

Question

⏰ What time should we arrive?

Answer

Since the Zion Canyon Shuttle does not operate on December 6th, you’ll be able to drive directly to the Temple of Sinawava for the ceremony. We recommend arriving 30–45 minutes early to allow time for parking and the short walk along the riverside path to the ceremony site. Parking is limited inside the park, so carpooling is encouraged.

Question

🪑 Will there be seating at the ceremony?

Answer

Due to permit limitations within Zion National Park, we are allowed 35 chairs at the ceremony site. We kindly ask that immediate family be given priority seating. If you’re standing, not to worry. The ceremony will be short and sweet, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

Question

🚌 How do I get to the ceremony site?

Answer

On December 6th, the Zion Canyon Shuttle will not be running, so you’ll be able to drive through the park to the Temple of Sinawava. Enter through the South Entrance in Springdale, and follow the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive all the way to the end. We’ll be providing Zion entry gift cards in advance to cover your park admission. Please allow extra time for potential traffic or limited parking, and consider carpooling if possible.

Question

🧭 Where is the reception?

Answer

The reception will be at a private cabin in Orderville, Utah, on the east side of the park. It’s about a 1-hour drive from the Temple of Sinawava (allow extra time in case of traffic through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel). The full address will be included in your formal invitation.

Question

🚗 Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Transportation will not be provided. Guests will need to drive or carpool between the ceremony and reception locations.

Question

🧥 What should I wear?

Answer

We’re asking everyone to wear black attire. Formal, cocktail, or dressy casual all work as long as it's black. Keep in mind the ceremony is outdoors with some walking on a maintained path, so choose shoes accordingly.

Question

❄️ What will the weather be like in December?

Answer

Weather in Zion in early December can be unpredictable. Expect daytime temperatures in the 40s–50s°F. Consider bringing a jacket/coat for the outdoor ceremony.

Question

🚻 Are restrooms available at the ceremony site?

Answer

Yes, there are restrooms at the Temple of Sinawava shuttle stop.

Question

💬 Will cell service or Wi-Fi be available?

Answer

Cell service in Zion can be spotty, especially once you're inside the canyon. However, Wi-Fi will be available at the cabin in Orderville, so you’ll be able to reconnect once you arrive at the reception.

Question

🍽️ What’s happening at the reception and what’s for dinner?

Answer

We’ll have appetizers and drinks ready when you arrive at the cabin. Dinner will be served by Los Carnales Taco Truck, which will be parked on site from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Guests will choose one entrée in advance when RSVPing. Please make your selection so we can pass your order along to the food truck ahead of time. All meals are served as listed. No substitutions or modifications will be available.
