Information for out of town guests

Thank you for coming into town for our wedding!
We want you to have a great time while you're in Bend, whatever the length of your stay is.
We know that most people prefer to make accommodations by themselves, but if you are wanting advice or help finding a place to stay over the wedding-weekend, please let us know!  We have both worked as front desk agents and will be able to help you find a great deal.
The Econolodge, which is located at 437 NE 3rd St. in Bend has offered us an additional 10% off their regular rate ($59/$69 plus tax) for group booking, and our groomsmen will already be staying there.  Christopher may be able to help get additional discounts if that is what you need, as he works for Choice Hotels.  Let us know if this is what you're wanting to do.

VisitBend.com is a great resource for what's going on in Bend; and they have many resources about activities and events.
Bend has many attractions beyond our ceremony, a calendar of the events going on in town the weekend of our wedding can be found *here* .
Other local attractions include the high desert museum, shopping in the Old Mill District and historic downtown.  We would be happy to give any recommendations for where to eat and what to visit during your stay.

We look forward to seeing you!
Christopher and Kaitlyn
