Shuttle service will be provided to and from The Upriver on the wedding day. We kindly ask guests staying in hotels to drive to The Upriver parking area, where you can leave your car and hop on the shuttle to the venue. There are no rideshare services in the area, so please plan ahead. Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited. We want everyone to get home safely!

Shuttles to the Ceremony:

The first shuttle will depart at 2:30 PM, with three trips running back and forth before the ceremony begins at 3:30 PM. Make sure to catch an early shuttle to arrive on time!

Shuttles After the Reception:

Return shuttles will begin at 9:30 PM and continue until the wedding ends at 10:30 PM.

On-Site Parking:

A limited number of parking spots are available at the venue for elder guests, those with special needs, or anyone who plans to leave early. If this applies to you, please let us know so we can reserve a space for you.

The shuttle service is generously provided by Friends of the River Coalition, a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving and protecting the river. A tip jar will be available on the shuttle, and all donations will go directly to river cleanup and environmental efforts in the area. If you feel inspired, we encourage you to give what you can!

Driving from Interstate 90, Exit 43 Kingston will be the last place for cellphone service. Once you turn onto the River Road, cellphone service will soon cut out. It’s crucial that you have printed maps or GPS prepared ahead of time. Stay with your group and arrive on time to events. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to call if you get lost.

This area of Northern Idaho is quite remote with limited access to emergency services. There is a volunteer fire/ambulance department located 20 minutes away.

Please be aware of your surroundings. You will be in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest where the ground is often uneven and the forest is densely treed. Moose, elk, deer, bear, and cougars live nearby. Please practice nature safety precautions. Do not feed the animals, do not hunt, keep food locked up overnight, wear comfortable walking shoes, etc.

This area of the country is known for wildfires. Please use extreme caution with campfires and gasoline. Most forest fires are started by humans. Don’t be an idiot.
