Lucia & Thor — Vermont wedding invitation Lucia and Thor on the mountain at sunset

Schedule

Friday

  1. Evening

    Garden-to-Table Taco Night

    Join us at our Clay Brook suite from 7:00 to 10:00 pm for a garden-to-table taco night: tacos and other eats made with fresh ingredients from the Bragg household's garden. The suite is also the one place all weekend where we can serve Thor's own cocktail recipes, so come thirsty. Casual and low pressure, especially with a full day ahead on Saturday. Swing by for a quick hello, stay the whole evening, or meet a few other guests before the big day.

Saturday

  1. Mid-Day

    Ceremony at Sugarbush

    Join us at 11:30 for our ceremony at the top of the Gate House lift and the first trail Lucia & Thor skied together. We will board the lift at 11:00 and return back down the mountain by 1:00.

    🌧️ If It Rains: the ceremony moves to 5:30 at Rumble's Bistro, right before cocktail hour. Everything else stays the same; we'll confirm closer to the day.

  2. Afternoon

    SIPtemberfest

    Between the ceremony and dinner, come find us at SIPtemberfest at Mad River Glen: live music, food, local pours, and adoptable puppies. We've got the tickets - let us know below if you'll be there.
    Details

    Two ticket types: a drinking ticket or a non-drinking ticket. Let us know in your RSVP which ticket you want. We'll have some picnic foods, but full meals are also available for purchase on site.

    Not a festival person? The Mad River Valley is gorgeous in September. Swim at Warren Falls, grab a sandwich at the iconic Warren Store, or drive to Waterbury for Ben & Jerry's and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Add it on, or do it instead.

  3. Evening

    Dinner and Drinks at Sugarbush

    Return to Sugarbush for cocktail hour at 6:00, followed by dinner at 7:00 at Rumble's Bistro.

Sunday

  1. Morning

    Breakfast at Warren Falls

    A casual breakfast at Warren Falls from 10:00 to 11:30 am. We'll have breakfast burritos, bagels, and plenty of coffee. Grab something before you head out, regroup before more Vermont fun, or if you're really brave - take a dip!

    🌧️ If It Rains: breakfast moves to the Clay Brook Suite.

Lodging

Where to Stay

Let us know your plan

Everybody loves the Mad River Valley in September! It is a gorgeous place with many great lodging options. But they can go quick. Some thoughts:

  • 99.99% of rooms in the Mad River Valley have a two night minimum requirement in September, and hike up prices. Blame the flatlanders
  • The best way to keep folks close and costs down is to book in groups - ie larger houses nearby in Sugarbush Village.
  • If that is not your speed, there are also plenty of affordable options (for now!!) within the Sugarbush Village area, many of which are a short walk/drive from dinner/after party. Book those on Vrbo/Airbnb whenever - see below for our room block at Mad River Inn, and suggested other places with rooms left.
  • There are plenty of affordable options (for now!!) within the Sugarbush Village area, many of which are a short walk/drive from dinner/after party. Book those on Vrbo/Airbnb whenever. See below for our suggestions.
  • If you DO want in on the houses, let us know! Every person coming to this shindig is extremely cool, fun, respectful etc. It'll be fun promise
  • FWIW, bride/groom would be so happy if folks stayed close by so we can party with you! And not worry about driving! Yay

FAQ

What should I wear?

Please wear whatever outfit you love. Suggested attire is semi-formal and weather-appropriate. But, we love a sun dress and do not care if you wear a tie. If you're in a gray area and wondering if it's fine, YES it's fine.

What will the weather be like?

We'll be outdoors until dinner, so weather matters. Mid-September in central Vermont is usually beautiful but a little unpredictable: daytime highs typically reach the low 70s°F, and once the sun goes down, evenings cool into the 50s and can feel chilly outside. Rain is always possible in a Vermont fall, so we'll be celebrating rain or shine at the spots listed here. We'd suggest dressing in layers, bringing something warm for the evening, and keeping an eye on the forecast as the day gets closer.

Where do I park, and how do I get to the ceremony?

Come to Sugarbush and park in the main lot at 64 Gate House Lane, Warren.

Are kids welcome?

As much as we adore your little ones, our Vermont celebration will be an adults-only affair.

Do you have a registry?

Your presence is more than enough. If you insist on a gift, check out the Registry section below.
