5 Days To Go!

Am I allowed to bring my children?

We love all of our friends and family however we are not able to accommodate little ones outside of those included in the ceremony.

Can I bring a plus one?

Because of limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. We hope you understand our decision.

What's a Keg Stand competition??

It’s the ultimate wedding day showdown—bride vs. groom! Each of us will have a jar at the bar, and throughout the night, guests can vote with their cash. Whichever jar has the most money by the end of the night decides who has to do a keg stand… in full wedding attire. It’s all in good fun, so bring some cash, cast your vote, and cheer us on!

Can I stay overnight at the wedding?

Absolutely! We are thrilled to offer the option for guests to camp and enjoy the night under the stars. You’re welcome to bring your own tent and set up for an overnight stay. Just let us know in advance so we can plan for space and make sure everyone is comfortable. Also let us know if you'll be joining us for a camp breakfast in the morning! We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!

If I am camping, can I come early?

Yes, absolutely! We’re happy to have you set up your tent early. Please arrive between 11-1 to leave time set up and get ready. Just let us know ahead of time that you're camping, and we’ll make sure everything is ready for your arrival.

What else should I know if camping?

If you’re camping, please plan to arrive between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Keep in mind that the ceremony area doesn’t open to guests until 3:30 PM. It’s just a short five-minute walk from the campsite through a beautiful wooded trail—so be sure to wear or bring shoes that are comfortable for uneven ground. There is no power or running water at the campsite, so if you need electricity, you’ll need to bring your own generator. A porta potty will be available on-site for campers. Please be mindful to leave space for other guests who are camping—there’s enough room for everyone as long as we all set up thoughtfully.

Is there a dress code?

The dress code is dressy casual! We want all of our guests to be comfortable and warm! For example, a nice pair of jeans and a light sweater!

Will there be an open bar?

Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate an open full bar. We will have plenty of beer and limited wine. However we encourage everyone to bring your own drinks also!

Driving directions?

From I-5 (The main freeway that you'd be coming CEREMONY & RECEPTION PARKING From I-5 (The main freeway that you'd be coming down from down from the Seatac Airport) Take exit 208 (right turn) onto Highway 530. Follow GPS directions down 530 all the way from I-5 to Darrington WA (you'll stay on 530 this entire time, but when you get into Arlington you'll have to take a left-hand turn onto highway 9 and then a right-hand turn back onto 530) When you get to the end of Highway 530 in Darrington (you'll see Moe's espresso on your left) take a right-hand turn onto Mountain Loop Highway. Follow Mountain loop highway roughly a mile and a half, PASS the turn for Clear Creek Road (BEWARE: GPS MAY TELL YOU TO TURN HERE, don't!) on the left, and the driveway is in the tree line on your left with a red and yellow metal gate. If you hit the Mountain Baker Snoqualmie National Forest sign, you have gone too far. CAMPGROUND PARKING: use address for Backman county park - when you turn left onto clear creek road, turn into the first driveway on the right and you’ve arrived!

Are there any colors I should avoid?

Please avoid wearing white or green so the Bride and the wedding party get their moment to shine!

What will the weather be like?

In May, Washington typically enjoys pleasant weather, but it’s always wise to bring a light cover-up in case of rain. Additionally, temperatures may drop in the evening, so a warm layer could be beneficial.

Is there going to be parking available at the venue?

Yes there will be. However parking is limited and if you are able to carpool that would be best.

Is the wedding going to be indoors or outdoors?

The wedding will be outdoors. We will have a tent for eating and dancing.
