Itinerary for the weekend!
Thursday: Meet & Greet for Early Arrivals
-We are opening the site up this night for anyone wishing to set up camp a little early, however, the wedding party will primarily be concerned with decorating and rehearsing for the following day so anyone arriving at this time will mostly be left to entertain themselves. Later that night we will host a bonfire and karaoke gathering at the pavilion for the early arrivals to get to know one another. Hot dogs and s’mores will be provided.
Friday: Wedding Day!
-The wedding itself isn’t until 6 but the site is open all day so feel free to arrive as early as you like to set up camp and get ready for the festivities. Personalized welcome packets will be provided upon arrival with information about camping, a detailed itinerary and a map of the site as well as any other information you may need to know about the weekend. Meals won’t be provided until the reception itself so please account for that in your plans.
As for the ceremony, it is planned to take place over the course of about half an hour outside in an exposed grassy area so keep that in mind when you’re dressing for the evening. The ceremony will be followed by cocktail hour at the pavilion while the wedding party takes photos and then we move into the potluck reception directly after! There will an open bar and a main course provided by the wedding party then dancing well into the night. Quiet(ish) hour starts around midnight.
Saturday: Thornfest 2024
-A day of music and revelry! Corn hole! Kickball! Paddleboarding! Oh my!
To start off the festivities there will be a breakfast provided at the pavilion. The Fix coffeehouse will be providing coffee and espresso drinks for guests along with bagels and pastries. We will also have multiple camp stoves set up on site so anyone wanting to cook up bacon, eggs or any other goodies can do so there.
As the day moves on there will be games to take part in, hikes you can follow and plenty of spaces to meet and enjoy yourselves in. For lunch a picnic sandwich buffet will be provided. The night will finish off with a little music festival featuring a number of local bands and a big ole chili dinner. Quiet(ish) hours start around midnight.
Sunday: Pack Up & Goodbyes
-The site closes at 11 on Sunday so everything must be packed up and moved out by then. At the pavilion we will be providing coffee, a leftover buffet and copious amounts of goodbye hugs.
