Accommodations

Limited camping is available at the reception site. If you would prefer a cabin, there are a number of options nearby, please make the reservations soon as they will sell out.

Additional, more spacious camping is available at the public campground across the lake which is a short walk away. These will also book up well in advance.


Please see the Accommodations tab for more detailed information.

Food and Beverages

Catering will be provided at the reception. Saturday morning is a potluck brunch.

All other meals over the weekend will be independent. There is a small general store nearby and the Rock Creek Lakes resort has a grill that is open for breakfast and lunch. We will have a small communal camp kitchen set up for anyone camping at the reception site.


Drinks! Beer, wine, champagne and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided during the reception, but the remainder of the weekend is BYOB.


Tip: bring a personal cooler and clearly put your name on it. That way people won't mistake your tasty beverages for communal drinks.

Packing Tips and Extras

Please be sure to bring a lightweight chair, cushion or picnic blanket with you to the ceremony site! You should also bring a chair for hanging around at the reception site.

Everyone should have a headlamp, for use after dark.

If you are camping, be sure to bring a warm sleeping bag and extra blankets. It can get quite cold at night. Bring warm, cozy fur jackets, too!


Other BYO: in an effort to reduce our environmental impact, we ask that you bring your own cup, plate and silverware. We will have extras in case people forget.


Extras: hiking gear, yoga mat, paddle board, swim suit, fishing pole, musical instruments, hammock, picnic blanket, LED flow props, cornhole, whatever else sounds fun!


Altitude Sickness: because the reception site is at 10,000, some guests may suffer from mild altitude sickness with symptoms like headache, nausea and brain fog. Consider talking to your doctor about a prescription to "diamox" which is a common medication for altitude sickness.

There is no cell service at the wedding site!

We encourage you to download directions before you arrive.

Enjoy this time to disconnect and unwind.
