FAQs

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal / Cocktail attire Think somewhere between Easter Sunday best and homecoming night — dressy but fun. We’re leaning into vibrant jewel tones with gold accents for a dreamy, celebratory vibe. Feel free to complement the palette, but most importantly, come feeling fabulous and ready to celebrate!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

If your little ones are listed on your invitation, they’re absolutely invited! Otherwise, we kindly ask that you make arrangements for them to stay home.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive by 5:00PM in order to give yourself plenty of time for parking so we can get everyone seated before the ceremony promptly begins at 5:30PM.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be at the same place?

Answer

Yes! Everything will take place at Bell Harbor in Seattle. No need to drive between venues.

Question

Question

Are there hotels nearby?

Answer

There are several hotels close to Bell Harbor (please see Travel tab), but rooms may be limited. We recommend booking early.

Question

I’m coming from Bremerton — what should I know about the ferry?

Answer

The Seattle–Bremerton ferry runs regularly, but schedules can vary, especially on weekends. We recommend checking the WSDOT ferry schedule in advance and aiming for an early boat to avoid delays. The terminal is a short walk or drive from Bell Harbor.

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

Yes—our one and only registry is a house fund through Zola (this website - just go to "Registry")! We're saving for our first home together, and any contribution is deeply appreciated.

Question

Can we give cash or a card in person instead of using the registry?

Answer

Absolutely! We’ll have a gift box and a Love String at the reception for anyone who prefers to give in person. The Love String is our modern take on the Filipino money dance—guests can pin cards or envelopes with a note or gift onto a ribbon. During the reception, we’ll pull them down as a fun, heartfelt moment. Whether online or in person, your love and support means everything to us.
