199 Edwards St, Bishop, California

bishop, california

Little town, big backyard wedding

Bishop is located on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains at about 4,000 feet elevation. In late September, we expect warm, dry days in the 80s and the nights cooling off with maybe the first taste of fall in the air.

planning ahead

how to get to Bishop

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 windy hours from Las Vegas.

Bishop has a small airport that connects to San Francisco and Denver! Flights are available through United Airlines.

where to stay

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

what about gifts?

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 dear to both of us, below.

Wild Iris

are children invited?

Of course they are! Kids are such an important part of our community. We don't have all the details yet, but we hope that kids will participate in the celebration with us.

accessibility

Our backyard is fairly flat with wide entrances and no stairs. The ground can be uneven though.

can you make it?

We are so excited to bring our communities together for this celebration, and you are important to us.

We know Bishop can be challenging to get to. If you can't make it, please mail us a note with a blessing, piece of advice, or favorite relevant quotation by September 6th. We will display it during the wedding so you can be part of our celebration.

Where did you meet?

Jeff and Jenn met under this cherry tree in southeast Bishop. Jeff was hanging out at Kyle H. and Jamie's house when Jenn walked by with her housemates Dorota, Stelth, and Casper to pick cherries from Kyle H's cherry tree. Jeff thought "who is this?" and introduced himself. Dorota said "Jenn, you know Jeff, you just voted for him" (to be re-elected as county supervisor). In true Bishop fashion, Jeff and Jenn ran into each other at several events over the next couple of weeks.

Then what?

This pic is from one of our first dates, which involved drinking coffee at Indy Coffee Roasting, and then walking around the canal for way too long on way too hot of a June day. Other early dates involved swimming in the artesians, and a magical wildflower hike to Long Lake. It didn't take too long before we realized this was the real deal.

How did you get engaged?

Jeff proposed to Jenn in song at Halloweezer, a 90s themed fundraiser that benefits the Eastside Student Center. The musical performance was part of Stelth and Dorota's (Jenn's housemates) 90s cover band set, and they were joined on stage by Jeff's 90s cover band made up of Jeff's housemates Masha, Blair, Kara, and Kyle A.
