Typical Wedding Schedule
Typical destination wedding event at Mountain Meadows Lodge
You are by no means required to use this schedule - it is only a framework to give a sense of how things might happen
at your wedding weekend. There are more ideas on the weddings documents page.
If you need some ideas, look at sample welcome letters and wedding web pages. Be creative!
We'd be happy to discuss how we can customize your event to your particular needs and tastes.
