Yes, there is plenty of parking at the venue. 

How do I get there?

The Maple Falls, WA venue is approximately 2.5 hours from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), 50 minutes from Bellingham International Airport (BLI), 1 hour 45 minutes from Paine Field (PAE), and 1.5 hours from the Vancouver International Airport (YVR).

Any guidelines for exploring the outdoors while we're in town?

The couple kindly requests that you help keep their favorite places beautiful by practicing Leave No Trace principles while enjoying the outdoors during wedding weekend.

Pack out everything you pack in and leave rocks, plants and wildlife as you find them. Many of the trails in the area pass through fragile alpine meadows, where vegetation is easily damaged by foot traffic, so it's important to stay on the trail.
