How do I get to Sun Valley?
Sun Valley has a small airport, Friedman Memorial Airport, which is a 15-20 minute drive from the events.
If prices are prohibitive, we recommend comparing prices with Twin Falls, Boise or Salt Lake City and renting a car. If you’d prefer not to rent a car, there is a shuttle that travels between Sun Valley and Boise once daily called The Sun Valley Express: Sun Valley Express Shuttle Bus
Where should I stay in Sun Valley?
We have room blocks at several hotels at varying price ranges - you can find this under the “Lodging” tab! Many of our guests will either be staying here or in AirBnB’s / VRBOs nearby.
We highly encourage you to stay in the Sun Valley, Elkhorn, or Ketchum area since these are closest to the events and where we will be! However, Hailey, Bellevue, and Mid-Valley (along highway 75 between Ketchum and Hailey) are also options — just keep in mind it’s common to encounter elk or deer while driving further which can be dangerous!
What is the local transportation situation?
We want you to be able to drink and be merry without worrying about safety! (Can you say “open bar”?!) Thus, we have reserved Sun Valley Event Shuttles which will pick up at several locations on Saturday so you don’t have to worry about driving. More details on this TBD as people finalize lodging!
For daytime transportation, or on surrounding days, there is either a free bus you can use (it’s super bougie as far as buses go!), or you can also rent a car. Check out the bus routes here: Mountain Rides Bus Live Tracker
Keep in mind that Uber and Lyft are not really a thing in Sun Valley!!
What does “Formal Attire” mean for Saturday?
The attire for Saturday, our wedding day, is formal. This typically means a well-tailored suit or tuxedo, or a floor-length dress. Think a step or two up from a fancy cocktail dress, which could include an elegant floor-length gown, a chic pantsuit, something fun and voluminous, or even an elevated high-low gown to show off some rockin’ shoes. Think satin, lace, and tafetta — just have fun!! The event itself will be colorful, fun and glam (like the invitations!) so we encourage you glam it up as much as you’d like, have some fun, and be comfortable. The wedding party and several family members will be in tuxedos so feel free to go that direction if you’d like as well, but this is not required!
What does “Semi-Formal Attire” mean for Friday?
The attire for Friday, the Rehearsal Dinner and the Party At the Peak (8-10), is Semi-Formal. This typically means a polished dress or a suit jacket/blazer + dress pants. Feel free to pull out the bold prints and tailored pantsuits. Dress hemlines can be shorter for this event if you’d like. And a sleek dress shirt paired with a sport coat jacket is just fine as well!
What does “Casual Chic Attire” mean for Thursday?
The attire for Thursday, the Kickoff Party, is Casual Chic. We know many of you just got off of a plane, so please feel free to be comfortable today!! Our goal for Thursday is to create a casual environment for guests to be fed, hydrated, have a few drinks, play some yard games and meet one another so we can have a blast all weekend. There will also be plenty of food and an open bar.
Am I invited to the Kickoff Party on Thursday?
Yes, everyone is invited! We would love to see you here and have some fun before the formal festivities begin!
A local restaurant will be making craft pizzas, and there will be homemade desserts and an open bar including signature drinks as well.
Am I invited to the Party At The Peak and/or Rehearsal Dinner on Friday?
Party At The Peak: 100% of our guests are invited to attend the Party At The Peak from 8-10pm at the top of the mountain! This event is occurring immediately after our Rehearsal Dinner, and we would love to see you there. Desserts and drinks will be served.
Rehearsal Dinner: For the dinner portion of the night from 6-8, you would have received a separate card in your formal invitation.
Can I take photos/videos during the ceremony?
We are requesting that all guests turn off their phones and refrain from photography or video during the actual ceremony!
We would prefer not to have photographs of others taking photographs, and hope that you will be fully in the moment with us :)
At any other point though, phones are fine!
