We hope that you are able to join us for a few days to celebrate. This page summarizes some events we are organizing for everyone so that we can spend some time with you while you are in Bend. If outdoor activities and hiking are not your thing, there will be groups doing activities in town. We will add those here as they are planned.

Bring your chairs to the ceremony or give them to Rob and Erica beforehand and we will bring them to the ceremony location.

Note: There will be plenty of time between the ceremony and the reception. We hope you can relax and celebrate with us during the reception. As such we encourage people to use ride-sharing apps to travel to and from the reception for safety and convenience. Kids are welcome at both the ceremony and the reception.
