Wedding Reception
Q: Gift Registry?
A: We appreciate everyone making the long journey out to Oregon and Tygh Valley at considerable expense. Your presence is gift enough.

It is run by a doctor at Jacque’s hospital that treats under served populations in a mobile clinic. Donate here.

Venue Information
Q: What weather should I plan for?
A: This time of year is highly variable. We’re hoping for low 80s and sunny, but it could be rainy and 50s!
A: Also, this is the high desert, so days may be 80s but nights could get into the 40s. Plan for both hot and cold.
Lodging
