Alex and Ella in Wellesley

In addition to the scheduled gatherings, please explore the valley!

We recommend that you book a place to stay relatively early; some accommodations in the valley are already full.

Weather

Snow is rare but not impossible in June in the Methow Valley, especially at elevations above the valley floor. However, highs in the 70s and 80s are more typical, with lows in the 40s or 50s. The valley is in semi-arid eastern Washington, but rain does happen.

Attire

Your wedding attire should keep you warm into a cool evening. With the exception of the wedding and reception, we will be wearing jeans (or similar) for all the events of the week.
