WEATHER

Weather for Friday (rehearsal/rehearsal dinner day) in Cottonwood Heights, UT is going to be a little chilly! High is only 59 degrees with the low of 48 degrees. For those attending the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, dress warm, definitely bring a layer.


Weather for Saturday (wedding day) is more forgiving with a high of 68 and a low of 47. We expect it to be about 65 degrees during the actual ceremony. Again, consider bringing a layer!

Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner

Rehearsal will take place on Friday, 9/22 at 4:00 p.m. at the Storm Mountain Picnic Area Amphitheater.


Rehearsal Dinner will follow and is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. at the Storm Mountain Picnic Area at site number G1 (near the entrance on the right, right across from the camp host).


Attire for the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner is elevated casual (for example: sun dresses, skirts, trousers, short sleeve button-ups, blouses).

Getting to the Ceremony

***UPDATE***


We will no longer be using shuttles. All guests will park at Storm Mountain Picnic Area. There is limited parking, therefore, please coordinate with each other to carpool!


We will have 30 parking passes to use for guests. This should be plenty for everyone as long as there are at least 2 people in most of the cars.


There will be additional parking available before and after the Storm Mountain Picnic Area turn-off, both on the side of the canyon road and in little trailhead parking lots. We don't anticipate needing to use these overflow options but they are there just in case.


***When you arrive you will need to grab a parking pass from one of our ushers, and place it in your windshield.***
