06/5/15 - Wedding Update

7 Days - A week away - No way! Yes way.

We have some new developments to share with you.

1) Download this App to your phone! It is called WedPics.
It allows you to upload any photos you take a the wedding.
Our wedding ID is "vw061315". Use this to share your photos with us!

2) If you are a guest that is staying off-site - please know you can NOT drive your car to the ceremony site. You will need to take a shuttle to the location. Shuttles are available at Hotel Jay, Tram Haus Lodge and The Provisions General Store. The ceremony starts at 2:30pm, please plan accordingly. The shuttle ride is just a few minutes and they will safely bring you back to your car. There is plenty of time between the ceremony to drive your car down to the Clubhouse Reception area, so feel free to park at any of the locations listed above to get to the ceremony.
If you are staying On-Site, you will get a Wedding Info Map upon check-in.

If there are questions, please email me directly: mgbonline@gmail.com ( Meagan ).

Again - Keep an eye on this page for updates!

At Jay Peak, the phrase "down to earth" means more than the friendly, casual attitude found in everyone from the greenskeeper to Director of Instruction, Doug Ruttle. It's actually about the earth. It's in the beautiful terrain, the natural waterways and the manicured greens. It's the Northern Vermont woods and the wildlife that watches from within. It's the little details and big ideas implemented by course designer Graham Cooke. At Jay Peak, your game is enhanced by all of this, whether you're a PGA pro or a first time hack. So come join us for a round and find out what it means to stay grounded while your game takes flight.

We will have discounts available and will be posted soon!
Please check back for more information.

If you wish to get your hair or make-up done for the wedding, you can call to check their availability.

If you have some downtime - definitely check out the ridge at the top of the mountain. Once you take the tram up to the top, there is a set of stairs that leads to the rocky-ridge, where Dan proposed to me!

Dare-devil skiers plunge down "The Face" and other difficult trails.
The Ridge is a popular spot in the summer where hikers relax and take in the 360 degree views.

I suggest wearing sneakers, bring a light sweater/jacket and be prepared to climb up small rocks. It takes about 2 minutes to get to the top, once you are off the tram. Enjoy! (Check out our Proposal Photos to see the views! )

Make sure to bring your camera!
