The wedding is NOT the weekend of the Three Rivers Jazz Festival.
Apparently a few hotels are giving people a hard time by saying they "require a three night minimum for the Jazz Festival weekend" or that they are "already booked the weekend of the Jazz Festival".
The Jazz Festival is April 11-13. The wedding is April 19. No conflict. Tell them to actually check their calendars, and you should be fine. :)
There is also no conflict with the Roping Competition; that should be the weekend after the wedding.

Wedding time
We don't have the exact start time for the wedding yet, but it will be sometime in the afternoon, around 4:00.
If you are flying in from the east coast, you might be able to fly in the morning of the wedding. You should arrive in Fresno before noon to be safe, since it's an hour to Three Rivers from Fresno, and then there's the usual hassles with airlines and rental companies. This means it would be a pretty early flight from the east coast though.

Car Rental
We are pretty sure that Visalia airport does not have car rental, so if you are renting a car, it's better to fly into Fresno.
Fresno has limited hours for car rental. It appears that you must be arriving before 11 pm. We don't yet know how early they open. Before making flight reservations, double check that you can get a car at the airport!

Getting to Three Rivers
Three Rivers has no airports of its own, so you have three other options:
Visalia
Visalia is the closest city to Three Rivers, about 30 minutes away. However, it has a very small airport, and it is unknown if you can get a rental car easily at the airport. The only flights in are connections to other cities on the west coast.
Fresno
Fresno is a reasonably large city with a medium sized airport. You should be able to rent a car at any time of day, and there are many flights connecting to other cities, along with a few direct flights (but not many!). Fresno is about one hour from Three Rivers.
Bay Area or LA
After that, you're looking at flying into one of California's more metropolitan areas and driving down. This might be an option if you want to see some other relatives anyway. In this case, it's about a 4-5 hour drive from either of the metropolitan meccas to Three Rivers.

Gift Registry
As we don't live in California, we are asking that guests please not bring gifts to the wedding. If you need help ordering online, either Keian Christopher or Seth Jaspan will be able to help you out. (Sorry guys...) Our mailing address is:
115 Washington St.
Edgewood, PA 15218
You'll notice we didn't register for the "normal" items. We have dishes, sheets, and towels already. What we also have is an 85 year old house that is in need of repairs! Landscaping, woodworking, and drywalling are all in our future...
MyRegistry.com
Just go to MyRegistry.com and search for us! The password is Sequoia. This registry is not for any one store. There are links to items which we would like, and they are at many stores. In some cases, like the tavloo board, we don't even know where to get one! We're looking for your help here.
Lowes
Go to http://www.lowes.com/lowes/GRHome.do
Search by last name, either Christopher or Jaspan will work.
Other Shipping Info
If you are purchasing plants for us, please let us know before you send them. We'll be gone for a couple weeks before the wedding, so better to send them a month or so early, or even after the wedding. Most plant shippers will hold them until a specified date. Some of the plants we've registered for will be held by default until planting time. (For example, Old House Bulbs won't ship tulip bulbs until October.)

Lodging
Three Rivers is a small community just outside of Sequoia National Park. There are several inns, B&Bs, and motels in the Three Rivers area. Most of the inns are locally owned, the only franchise is the Comfort Inn. However, it's priced the same as the local places, and it's farther down the road.
For reference, the ceremony will be at 42975 Sierra Drive. It is a long road that winds through Three Rivers, and most business are on this road.
Standard Lodging
You can find several accommodations from this website: http://www.threerivers.com/trlc-lodging.htm
Bed and Breakfasts
If you are interested in B&Bs, our venue hosts suggest either Sequoia River Dance or Cort Cottage.
The Lodge
If you want to spend the money, there's also the Sequoia Wukasachi Lodge. The Lodge is inside the park and close to several of the attractions. It is a little farther from the ceremony since it is a one hour drive inside the park. However, it is in the park and close to the biggest Sequoias.
But what about the White Horse Inn?
Contrary to its name, the White Horse Inn is not, actually, an inn. We have no clue. If you are in the bridal party, there is a cottage at White Horse Inn that we can rent; we are currently investigating this option.
