Helping Hands, coup de main

To make the wedding and "ustopia fest" happen...

Some helping hands are needed for a variety of projects:

  • driving people to/ from the airport
  • setting up for the ceremony and meals
  • cooking/ warming food
  • clean-up​

We are also welcoming people to bring and share supplies:

  • firewood
  • food and beverages
  • lighting

We love how camp-out festival magic happens in surprising and spontaneous ways. We will send a follow-up email with more information. People will be able to sign-up to help in whatever way they feel inspired through a survey in the email.

Invitations / RSVP

Please RSVP for the ceremony and/ or ustopia fest through this eventbrite invite.

We are mailing out "Save The Date" postcards once we get everyone's updated mailing addresses through this EventBrite.
