FAQ
What should I wear?+
Dress code is cocktail / mountain chic. Think suits or sport coats, cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or similar. Please no jeans, shorts, or athletic wear.
Are kids invited?+
Yes — kids are welcome. This is still a casino resort, so please plan accordingly (supervision, late nights, and venue rules) in whatever way works best for your family.
Do you have a registry?+
We're not doing a traditional registry. If you'd like to contribute, we have a honeymoon and home fund via Venmo — see the Gifts page for the link. Your presence truly means the most to us.
Can I take photos and post on social media?+
Please take and share photos however you like, and upload your best shots to our site photo wall so everyone can see them.
Can we gamble at the Casino?+
Absolutely. We also recommend checking out the resort amenities like golf and spa treatments and booking in advance if you want to use them.
What's the best way to get there?+
Best option is flying into Spokane (GEG), renting a car, and driving to the casino. We may be able to coordinate limited shuttle options from GEG if enough guests are interested — reach out to us directly if you'd use that.
