You're invited to Jordan & Rae's weekend wedding retreat
LOVE & LEISURE
FEST
Friday to Sunday,
Sept. 18-20, 2026
Maple Grove
Hot Springs
Friends, the time has finally arrived for the 1st Annual Love & Leisure Fest, and we're inviting our community to celebrate alongside us as WE GET MARRIED!
If you're like us, life feels a little too fast these days. So this Fall Equinox, you're invited to join our small rebellion against haste and hustle as we slow down long enough to celebrate what matters most - LOVE.
It's gonna be a joyful, restful, beautiful shindig, so grab your classiest swimwear and fancy robe, and saddle up for a soggy celebration of family, friendship, and the radical act of LOVE at every stage (and pace) of life.
THE
FLOW
Friday, 9/18
Gather & Commune
Friday is our soft landing day with close friends and family. Arrive anytime between noon and 5pm, settle in, and claim your corner of the property. We'll reflect on where we've come from and give thanks to the emerging community that this wedding represents. We'll dine in the garden, share stories around the fire, and sweat it out through sauna, soaking, and poolside conversations.

HOW TO ROLL
The Pools, Land & People
You'll likely be moving around the property in a robe and your "hot springs formal" swimwear most of the time, but in general, think leisure pool club meets mountain west flare. Come packed with colors, class, and your most creative take on a lively poolside celebration. Around here, wellness is the root of our weekend AND we're excited to celebrate responsibly with those we love. We'll have alcoholic and non-alcoholic options on Saturday. Otherwise, it's a tasteful BYOB with a gentle request for no glass and minimal headaches.
The Ceremony
The ceremony theme is Electric Sunset. This is your chance to glam it up with the vibrant hues like red, orange, fuschia, yellow, and everything in beween. Go retro or go mountain chic with fringe, velvet, bolos, and texture. Here's a mood board to help inspire your night.
DETAILS
Getting here
Maple Grove Hot Springs & Retreat Center is located 2.5 hours north of Salt Lake City, UT. The nearest airport is SLC International.
Camping & Rest
Once you RSVP, we'll assign you a spot on the property or at the nearby BLM campsite upriver. Units are limited and most folks will be camping. Maple Grove is a nature-based hot springs retreat center, and this weekend is very much a camp-style gathering. There are only two showers on site, so please come prepared for relaxed, low-maintenance energy (showers in the river are encouraged). We highly recommend bringing a personal mirror and easy getting-ready supplies.
Local Accomodations
If you prefer not to camp, the nearest town is Preston, ID, 20 minutes south of the property, which has several Airbnb's and some real hotel gems...
Plaza Motel, Rocky Mountain Red Brick Inn
Lava Hot Springs is 45 min north and Logan, Utah is about 1 hr south and both have a few more charming options.
Presence is the Gift
Listen folks—we're not spring chickens and don't need much in the way of domestic goods. Your presence is the greatest gift you could offer. However, if you're feeling adamant about spreading some love and have the means to do so, we'd be honored to welcome contributions towards making this weekend and beyond possible.
