The Weekend
Our goal is for you to make the most of your weekend here. While the ceremony and reception are what we are most excited for, guests are encouraged to partake in the optional activities we have put together to experience our valley, meet our closest friends and family, and have fun. The weekend has a spectrum of attire from casual to western to black tie, so plan to pack accordingly!
