Why are you getting Married in Oregon?
Newberg, Oregon is Wilson's hometown! Since Wilson is in the Marine Corps and stationed in California, he rarely is able to be home for big events! It was important to us that Wilson was home for our wedding.
Where is Wilson stationed/Where will you be living?
Wilson is currently stationed in 29 Palms, California. He will have a change in his duty station and we will be moving to Camp Pendleton, California in June!
Where are you going on your honeymoon?
Kauai, Hawaii! After college graduation, moving duty stations and planning a wedding, we are looking forward to relaxing in paradise for a few days!!
Will the Wedding be Outside or Inside
The venue is outdoors on grass (so wear appropriate shoes!!) with a covered/sheltered reception area. Springtime weather in Oregon can be unpredictable, so keep an eye on the forecast!!
Where is everyone staying?
Many out of town guests have chosen to stay in short term rentals in Newberg, Dundee, Carlton or Sherwood. However, there are several hotels and resorts in the area. Check out the Travel page on our site! Everything is very close by, so choose what works best for you!!

Will phones/cameras be allowed at the wedding?

What Airlines have direct flights to Portland?
Alaska has the most non-stop flights from Southern California to Portland. However, Southwest, Delta and American all have good flights with short stops as well! Check all of the area airports as there are often good prices from Palm Springs and San Diego if you are willing to drive a little farther to get to the airport!
