The Venue
We are so excited to host our nearest and dearest at Shrine Mont.
Shrine Mont is a retreat center in western Shenandoah County, Virginia. Hattie's family, along with their "chosen" family, have been spending the first week of August at Shrine Mont for generations.
Shrine Mont is like summer camp, complete with a mess hall where a bell summons you to meals, hiking trails, a swimming pool, and a lake with plenty of squishy stuff to tickle your feet as you take a dip. Bring a swimsuit and hiking boots if you wish to partake of the natural amenities – but there will be plenty of opportunities for porch-sitting, cornhole-tossing, and hammock-lazing for those who just want to relax.
Travel & Stay
02. Accommodations
Spend the weekend with us in Shrine Mont's historic cottages and hotel.
Gifts
In lieu of a traditional gift registry, we are requesting donations to Shrine Mont, which celebrates its 100th anniversary during our wedding week.
In August 1973, Hattie's Hobson grandparents, Nan and Jim, together with their three girls, joined friends at Shrine Mont for a week of summer vacation. The same set of families has returned ever summer since. Our circle has grown as families have expanded and friends have joined our number.
To us, Shrine Mont represents many things: the love of family, the beauty of nature, and the comfort of traditions. We are so happy to be getting married there, and we hope you'll love it too.
Shrine Mont keeps its rates extremely accessible so that families of all backgrounds and at all stages of life can afford to come. In order to do this, Shrine Mont relies on the generosity of friends and supporters. Please consider making a donation, and helping us keep Shrine Mont around for another 100 years.
