5 Years in the Making
We were introduced by mutual friends who, for years, had a hunch we’d be good together. Without us really knowing, they set things in motion and planned a weekend for us to meet in San Luis Obispo. Apparently, they were right—it worked out better than any of us could have guessed.

Wardrobe
Two Parties. Two Dresscodes.
Think of this as our warm-up party, and dressing up just makes it better.
Lederhosen, dirndls, hats, briads—any nod to Oktoberfest brings the night to life. But it’s not mandatory. If dressing up isn’t your thing, no pressure. You’ll still fit right in and have a great time.
Our ceremony is summer formal - suits for men, long colorful flowing dresses for women.
It’s a sunny mountain wedding, so aim for polished but comfortable. Light fabrics, soft colors. Wear something that feels good, moves well, and lets you enjoy the whole day and night with us.
We’ve reserved discounted rooms at Kit Carson Lodge—just 14 minutes from The Hideout and right on Silver Lake. It’s a quiet, scenic spot with cozy cabins, a restaurant, and easy lake access.
We also have a room block at Kirkwood Mountain Resort, only 20 minutes from the venue, with larger condo-style options perfect for groups and families.
Other Options: The Kirkwood area has a variety of lodges, condos, and Airbnbs for groups.
