As the bird flies, we are about 50 miles from Fresno. But you are not a bird, and there is no road over the mountains!

Highway 395 is a beautiful roadtrip! We are about 3 and a half hours from Reno, 4 hours from Los Angeles, and 4 curvy hours from Las Vegas.

Bishop has a small airport that connects to San Francisco on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays, through United Airlines.

Bishop isn't very large, so anywhere downtown will be pretty close to our location. There are also Airbnbs, and campsites nearby. Or maybe you have a friend in Bishop? We recommend finding a place to stay as early as possible. If you need help finding a place to stay, reach out to us directly.

We do have a block of rooms reserved at the Days Inn, which has the benefit of being right next to our backyard. Our reservations are for $125/night and we have blocked Thursday-Sunday, so let us know if you want on the list for one of those rooms.

Hotels next to our backyard:

YOU are the real gift.

But if giving gifts is something that brings you joy, we graciously accept. We don't have a registry because there is nothing that we need. But we love unique, meaningful gifts, especially ones that are handmade.

If you don't feel inspired in that way, but still want to give something, consider making a donation to Wild Iris, a local non-profit that is very special to both of us. Wild Iris offers free and confidential support for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or child abuse and their families. Jenn currently sits on the board of directors, Jeff formerly sat on the board of directors, and Wild Iris was founded in the house that we live in.

Of course they are! Kids are such an important part of our community. Kids are invited not only to attend, but will also be invited to participate in the all children parade, with bubbles, flower petals, chocolate, and more. We will also have art supplies and other things for kids to do.

Our backyard is fairly flat with wide entrances and no stairs. The ground can be uneven though. Please remember that Bishop is at 4,000 feet, and the altitude and dry air can be challenging for some people.

There will be bathroom facilities accessible without stairs.

Dress code: High Desert Garden Party

What does that mean? Literally whatever you want, honestly we don't care what you wear. But the vibe will be fancy for Bishop, less fancy if you're used to city life. It's a backyard wedding so consider wearing flats or block heel shoes, and bring a layer because the temperature will drop around 7pm when the sun dips behind the mountains.

This is a community event, and we want YOU to be involved! We would love if many people brought a poem, a song, or a short performance to share. We will provide instruments and microphones, please reach out if you need a specific instrument, and we probably can find it in town.
