4:00 pm - 4:45 pm
We are getting married on the top of a nearby mountain! Guests will take a chairlift ride from the parking lot up to the ceremony location and back to admire the beautiful views :). There will be an option to be driven up and back if unable to take the lift. The bottom of the chairlift is a ~5min drive from Bear Valley Lodge, it is next to a parking lot at the Bear Valley Mountain Resort (the ski resort, not the lodge). We will have shuttles departing from the lodge, and guests are also encouraged to drive themselves to the chair lift parking lot for the ride up the mountain. Dress Code: Dress up in your favorite cocktail or fancy attire! When deciding on footwear, please keep in mind that the ceremony location is a meadow on a mountain, and there are not paved paths :).

Hotel
We have a discounted group rate for the weekend, which we will add to this website by the time our invitations are sent out.
Travel Note
We recommend flying into either Sacramento (2.5hrs away) or any Bay Area airport (~3hrs away). For those interested in carpooling, we plan to coordinate carpools for people coming from Sacramento and the Bay Area.
If you'd like to write us a card, we would love that, but we are requesting no gifts -- your presence is a gift in itself!
