Women can wear below-the-knee dresses, slip dresses, a dressy skirt and top, or an elegant pantsuit (styled with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats). As for men, settle on a dress shirt and slacks, with the option to wear a tie.

More information regarding travel and accommodations are on the "Travel" page. We highly encourage you to book early to secure your stay!

Question

Can I Take Pictures?

Our ceremony will be unplugged to ensure our photographer can do their best work in capturing our big day. We kindly ask you to respect our wishes and keep personal cameras (unless permitted by the bride and groom) and cell phones tucked away until mocktail hour.

Question

Is There an Open Bar?

Answer

Due to restrictions with the venue, we will not have a bar or alcohol during the reception, except for a champagne toast. We will be serving mocktails, along with water and juice as refreshments. Join us at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma for a drink after the reception!

Question

Where Should I Sit?

Answer

The first row of seating at our ceremony will be reserved for immediate family, but all others are open seating. There will be designated seating for the reception, which will be noted by place cards.

Question

What Time Does the Reception End?

Answer

We will be making our exit at 7:00PM and our vendors will promptly begin breaking down at that time.

Question

I didn't get an invite, but how can I celebrate your union?

Answer

Our venue has a strict capacity limit, so our wedding guest list will only be immediate family and close friends. If you'd still like to congratulate and celebrate our union, feel free to visit the Registry page or chip in a donation to the honeymoon fund! Keep an eye out for updates on a possible additional celebration at a later date. Thank you for your understanding!
