For the wedding ceremony and reception, we are keeping it adult-only. The Friday night welcome party, is family friendly and would welcome children and any aunties, grandmothers or babysitters that have come along. If you need any help securing a babysitter in the PDX/Vancouver area, please let us know. For the wedding, we welcome any babies that need to stay with mother, please just let us know in advance if we can help.
The Friday evening event will be about 30 minutes south of Portland, and the wedding will be 30 minutes north of Portland. With that said, anywhere central Portland or Vancouver will be the easiest. Battle Ground (where the actual wedding is) has the Best Western downtown which is a great basic, safe and clean hotel. If you want something a little more fancy and really beautiful, either of the new hotels at the Vancouver Waterfront would be a fun experience. Otherwise, Airbnb would be a great option.
