Basic event facts:

Sunday, September 27, 2026 | at Mt. Hood Organic Farms (Mount Hood, Oregon) | 3:30pm - 10pm

This page contains further details about our special day, so please read below!

first, an important announcement & request:

For those of you with young children (under 12), we kindly ask that you arrange child care for Sunday's wedding events. We understand that coordinating child care can be challenging and expensive, and we know this may not be feasible for everyone. If attending our wedding depends on bringing your children with you, please know that we completely understand. Having you celebrate with us is what matters most, and we would much rather have your family there than miss the chance to celebrate together.

Directions &

Transportation to/from the venue:

  • We are happy to offer all our guests complimentary shuttle service to get them safely to/from the venue.

    The pick-up/drop-off location is the Best Western Plus Hood River Inn, located at 1108 E Marina Dr, Hood River, OR 97031. Please meet in the hotel lobby at 2:30 PM. Staff will direct you to the shuttle in the parking lot, and the shuttle will depart at 3:00 PM.

    You do not have to be staying at the Best Western Plus in order to use the complimentary shuttle - however, if you plan on driving to the hotel and leaving your car there, you cannot park in the Best Western Plus parking lot. Instead, you can leave your car at the Hood River Park & Ride, located at OR-35 & Old Columbia River Dr, Hood River, OR 97031 (click hyperlink to see location).

  • Alternatively, guests are welcome to drive to the wedding instead. The address to Mt. Hood Organic Farms is 7130 Smullin Drive, Mt. Hood, OR 97041. It’s about a 20-minute drive from Hood River — you’ll take Highway 35 South and exit off of Smullin Drive.

    There is free and secure parking at Mt Hood Organic Farms - although there are a finite number of parking spaces in the venues lot, so they encourage guests to carpool if possible. If for any reason drivers are reluctant or unable to drive home on wedding night, the venue will allow cars from our party to remain in the lot overnight and up until 10am the next day (Monday, Sept. 28).
