Yes. There will be a lull somewhere during the event where the open bar is closed, but it's only temporary. They will still have a full bar on the premise - you'd just have to pay for those drinks.

What's the food situation?

Buffet style that should be able to accommodate several preferences, including vegetarian options and gluten-free options.

Kids allowed?

Unfortunately no, we'd like to keep this child free.

Where should we stay?

Eagle Ridge has set up a block of rooms for the wedding if you'd like to stay near the venue. They also have several other options on their property. We understand the place might be a little pricey, and so we also encourage our budget-oriented guests to check out local AirBNBs/VRBOs or hotels. There are tons of places to choose from that should be able to fit in any budget. We'd also highly encourage our guests to share rooms or houses if applicable.

Is there a shuttle service?

As of now: only if you stay at the Eagle Ridge Resort.
