Dear Guests,

To say we are excited to have you is an understatement! This wedding has been in our dreams for quite some time. We know a rustic wedding and out of town wedding isn’t everyone’s dream though. When we say rustic we mean it! Our lovely family has graciously let us host our big day on their property and we want to make sure we leave the place exactly how we found it. Beautiful and pristine.
Our wedding is during the heart of fire season, chances are there will be a fire ban! This means no fireworks too Chris! Don’t worry we’ll have a propane fire pit to roast some s'mores and to gather around. We will be bringing in port-a potties for our guests so not to overburden the property’s outhouse. Please use the porta potty’s and NOT the property's outhouse or the bushes.. I’m looking at you Angelica. We also ask that any smokers use the designated ashtray buckets that will be provided in a couple areas on the venue site. Please bring comfortable shoes and attire for any weather. We’ll be getting married rain or shine. Cell reception and internet is non existent so be prepared for that. There is a land line at the venue we can give you the number for Emergancy contacts. Black Bears are common in the area so please be mindful where you dispose of garbage. Quiet time on the Lake is 11pm. We wont be turning it off then.. just turning it down. The lake has a rule of maximum 10 HP motors for boats… sorry Kevin you’ll have to leave yours at home. We know a lot of our family and friends like to indulge in the spirits, for your convience we will be having a toonie tip bar! We love our food and we can't wait to dig in with you.. after the ceremony we will be offering light appetizers and for the reception the Bride has requested a Taco Bar! On Sunday morning a simple brunch with coffee is in the plans for all our guests staying over night in the area. We ask that our Guests who plan to join us earlier than Saturday afternoon and leave later than Sunday please keep in mind you'll be responsible for your own meals. Greenwood has a few local gems to eat at! Our friend Oliver at Jewel Creek Organic Farm (just a 10 minute drive) makes an amazing Pizza as well. We also would like all our guests that plan on bringing your RV/Tent/Trailer and staying at Jewel Lake to go through the Bride to be for booking a spot.
Jewel Lake is well known for its beauty and returning campers year after year. We hope to hold our five year anniversary party on the same property so please help us make sure Jackie, Steve,Grace and Jewel Lake Resort want to have us back! Think of this as a summer camping trip and I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do. Thank you so much and we can’t wait!

These are the cabins at the Jewel Creek Farm located just under 10 minutes from our Venue… we’ve checked them out and WOW the views and location is just stunning. Oliver the Host is so friendly and accommodating. He mentioned he maybe could offer a shuttle for our guests from the venue to his farm! He has 3 barrel cabins and 4 yurt tents.. they’re so cool! He’s an amazing cook and happens to brew a great beer. We highly recommend this place. Oliver is in the process of building a dome on his property and mentioned if completed it may be the perfect place for the happy couple.. so who knows we may be staying there on our wedding night! Either way its close, it’s cozy and its an experience you can’t find anywhere else! Feel free to book these ASAP if you're interested as they wont last long.

Feel free to book these ASAP if you're interested as they wont last long. Let Oliver know you are coming for our wedding!

Feel free to book these ASAP if you're interested as they wont last long. Please let Oliver know you're attending our Wedding!

YURTS!! Oliver offers another unique camping experience just minutes from our Wedding Venue.. These are the perfect place to get some shut eye after a long night of dancing! Unlike the Cabins at Jewel Creek Farm these aren’t available through Air BNB but rather must be booked by calling him. Keep in mind cell reception can be spotty in the area so leave a message and he’ll get back to you. Oliver is a super host and has been great about communicating with us. The bride can provide you will pictures of the Yurts and help contacting Oliver. Yurt’s are $150 a night. Feel free to book these ASAP if you're interested as they wont last long.

Full disclosure we haven’t checked out these accommodations yet. They’re in the town of Greenwood so at least a 20 minute drive from our venue and where the wedding party and family will be staying BUT check out this western feel.. You can 100% guarantee we’ll be visiting you to take some wedding photos at your location if you decided to stay here!

She isn’t fancy or within walking distance but this Motel is in the town of Greenwood and only 20 minutes away. It’s a place you can rest comfortably if camping and the wilderness isn’t your cup of tea but you still want to join us on our special day and don’t feel much like driving home after the reception!!
