FAQs

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

You can click the RSVP tab above and RSVP at any time. We will include a paper RSVP postcard if you prefer to mail your RSVP to us.

Question

What if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If you do not RSVP by August 10th, 2025, you will be marked as "not attending." We would love celebrating with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVPs. (This means you are not allowed to show up to our special day. There will be no seating, food, or drink accommodations for you.)

Question

What should I do if I cannot make it?

Answer

You will definitely be missed. If you cannot make our wedding, please indicate "will NOT attend" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending" and you find you can no longer attend, please notify Samantha or Charlie.

Question

Can I bring a date/plus one?

Answer

Due to limited budget, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be addressed "(Your Name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is this a kid friendly wedding?

Answer

We love and adore your little ones, however, we have decided to keep our ceremony and reception an adults-only event with the exception of close family. We encourage you to use this as a fun date night! We appreciate you making prior arrangements so you can celebrate with us.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We ask that guests arrive no later than 4:45 in the evening. You may arrive earlier than 15 minutes to be able to give you time to park, sign the guest book, and find your seat. If you arrive after the ceremony has started, you will not be able to be seated and will have to wait until cocktail hour to enter.

Question

What if I am running late?

Answer

Our wedding will begin promptly at 5:00 in the evening. Unfortunately, if you are not seated by that time, you will miss the ceremony.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having a "Mostly Unplugged" ceremony. There will be time at the start of the ceremony to take photos, and kindly ask that phones and cameras are not in use until the reception. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos/videos as you like!

Question

Will the wedding take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors at Broadway Hall.

Question

Will there be a bar?

Answer

Yes! Beer, wine, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beverages are on us.

Question

Can I bring my own adult beverages?

Answer

We will be supplying alcohol and will have a bartender handling the beverages. Due to venue policy and regulations, you are not allowed to bring any other alcoholic beverages onto the premises.

Question

Where will the wedding take place?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will both occur at Broadway Hall, 1300 Broadway, Bellingham, Washington.

Question

Where can I park?

Answer

There will be limited parking at the venue with additional parking across the street. There is also street parking on the surrounding streets.

Question

I am allergic to _____. How can I communicate any dietary restrictions?

Answer

We'd love to make sure you are comfortable and understand some guests may have dietary restrictions or allergies. Please let Samantha or Charlie know if you have any dietary restrictions so we may be able to make sure everyone has a delicious meal.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

After living together for many years, we have amassed all that we need to complete our home. Your presence at our wedding and joining us to celebrate is the greatest gift we could ask for. However, if you would like to honor us with a gift, you can find our complete wedding registry (and buy directly from our wish list) on this website under the "Registry" tab.

Question

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, it can be delivered to our home at 1418 N Forest St, Bellingham, WA 98225. A wedding card box will be at our reception.
