10:00 am - 11:00 am
Bridal party, officiant, and some immediate family members will be gathering to rehearse the ceremony along with our wedding planner. Guests may return to the ferry after the rehearsal, or head to the Casino for some lunch while we wait to check into our rooms.
5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Wedding party and immediate family will participate in the pre-wedding rehearsal dinner graciously hosted by Ben's parents Mark and Lisa Dowdle, with a meet and greet afterwards at the Clearwater Casino to welcome additional guests.
8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Following the rehearsal dinner, you’ll find Ben and I on the Clearwater Casino floor to see any guests who want to say hi, play some games, and wish us well before we attempt to get some sleep before the big day!
4:00 pm
Please start lining up for the shuttle beginning at 4:00 PM. It will be parked outside the main entrance of the casino in the largest roundabout driveway called the Tower entrance. If you’re inside the casino, ask where the “dispatch” window is and they will lead you outside to the right spot. It’s also close to the entrance that has the security desk. The shuttle is a quick, 5 minute trip that will take you from the casino to the venue down the road. They fit 38 passengers at once so if you miss the first one, don’t worry another one will come by! Masks are required for entry, please call Dona Baker if you have any questions 425-446-0320.
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Cocktail - dress for warm weather (ladies - the grass might sink a bit so you may want to opt for wedges rather than heels!)
Our ceremony begins at 5:00 PM, but starting at 4:00 PM, guests can take complimentary five minute shuttle rides from the Casino to our wedding venue to arrive early, grab a drink, and enjoy the views of Agate Passage. There is no need to pre-book your shuttle as it will be making regular trips. We kindly ask that you do not arrive before 4:00 PM to give the bridal party and immediate family ample time to get ready, take photos, and relax before the big moment!
5:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Following the welcome drink, please join us for our ceremony as we tie the knot in front of all our favorite people.
5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
After the ceremony, we will have cocktail hour, appetizers, and live music before dinner.
6:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Following cocktail hour, please join us in the Garden Atrium for dinner, speeches, and dancing - followed by a fire pit and s'mores. Comfy shoes for the dance floor are encouraged!
10:30 pm - 11:45 pm
Once we've danced the night away, complimentary shuttles will take us all back to the Clearwater Casino, where Ben and I are planning on getting into our comfy clothes and heading back down to the casino floor to have some fun with anyone who is not ready for bed yet!
