Where's the Wedding?!

The location of the wedding is Stonehedge Gardens. The ceremony will start at 5pm on Sunday. Stonehedge is located at 3405 Cascade Avenue, Hood River, OR.

• From downtown Hood River, head west on Cascade Avenue. The Stonehedge Gardens sign and entrance is approximately 1.8 miles from downtown on the left. If you get to the freeway, you've gone too far.

• From Portland, take I-84 East for about 50 miles to Exit 62 for US-30 toward West Hood River/Westcliff Drive. Go 0.2 miles and take a right on Cascade Avenue/US-30. The Stonehedge Gardens sign and entrance is on the right just past the Yamaha store and the 76 gas station.

Don't be daunted by the road work on the drive up!
