Transportation

Salt Lake City is not the easiest place to get around without a car. Believe it or not, you'll probably see more pedestrians in Los Angeles. If you're coming in from out of town you may want to rent a car. There is also a shuttle service called Canyon Transportation Van. They will pick you up from the airport and take you directly to the lodge and back again when the time comes. The cost is $68 round trip (per person) and their number is 1-800-255-1841. You'll probably need to make a reservation 24 hrs in advance.

Lodging Information

Spring is coming! And that means it's time to make plans for the summer. Of course the biggest event of the summer is our wedding. If you're coming in from out of town, or you just want a nice getaway for the weekend, we hope you'll consider staying at the Alta Lodge where we're getting married.
We've currently got half the rooms blocked out for our guests (about 20) but with the amount of interest we've been getting we expect those to fill up fast. Not to worry, the lodging discount available to us extends to any vacant rooms available but if you'd like to stay at the lodge, we suggest you book sooner rather than later.
Our wedding discounted rates start at just $94/night for Saturday night (Aug 8th, the night of the wedding). That includes Sunday brunch the next day. Other nights that week start even lower ($78/night, alas- no brunch). Amanda and I plan to be at the lodge Friday night as well and we'd love to have you there with us. There is tons to do in the mountains (more on that to come) and we plan to have stuff going on all weekend long.
