Travel
Hotel
Mondrian Seoul Itaewon
This is where everyone should aim to stay. So, start aiming!
Hotel
Grand Hyatt Seoul
This is the furthest walk from the venue (roughly 25 minutes), but by car it's very fast. It's also the closest hotel to our afterparty space, although you'll have to drunkenly stumble uphill for 5 minutes.
Hotel
IP Boutique Hotel
Great location, and the main lobby bathrooms have bidets! Welcome to Asia.
Hotel
Itaewon A One Hotel
The rooms are cheap and centrally located. But it's budget as fuck, so we will be judging you.

Things To Do
가로수길 (Garosukil Shopping/Eating Area)
A great place to buy Gentle Monster sunglasses (much cheaper than they are in the United States), grab Korean BBQ or donkatsu, and see the country's first Apple Store. You can't go 20 feet without seeing a sunlit bakery or newly built cafe, and there's a bunch of plastic surgery clinics if you're into that shit!
Seoul Forest Park
We had our first kiss here. Well, not in the park, but in the subway station beneath it. This area of Seoul also leads into Seongsu, so you can get your steps in if you're not making out with someone.
Seongsu
The streets here are wide and clean. You can grab authentic Indian food or hot dogs topped with bone marrow. Wine bars abound, as do microbreweries (Amazing Brewery comes to mind) and cute ass stores employed by cute ass college kids. Jae's CrossFit gym is here too. Go say hi to her trainer!
Chat GPT
I got lazy and decided to have Chat GPT write up some touristy stuff: 1. Gyeongbokgung Palace: This is the largest and most iconic palace in Seoul, built in the 14th century. Visitors can explore the palace grounds, admire the stunning architecture, and watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony. 2. Namsan Tower: Also known as the Seoul Tower, this is a must-visit spot for panoramic views of the city. Visitors can take a cable car or hike up to the tower, which stands at 236 meters tall. 3. Myeong-dong: This is a bustling shopping district that's popular with both locals and tourists. It offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and street food vendors. 4. Bukchon Hanok Village: This is a traditional Korean village with over 900 hanok (traditional Korean houses). Visitors can take a stroll through the narrow alleys and admire the beautifully preserved architecture.
FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by July 15th, 2023. (I know the date keeps changing but this is final!)
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We're thinking light, airy colors for women (anything that looks good with lots of flowers), and dark suits for men (I'll be wearing beige). It's also a Korean wedding, meaning be modest. Gossipy elders will be in attendance!
Question
Can I bring a Plus One?
Answer
We're sorry, but this is an intimate affair! If you're flying from the States, please fly in with your partner and enjoy Seoul together! But the wedding is strictly invite only.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Hell yeah, just message one of us!
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is very limited parking, so we suggest staying at the Mondrian Hotel (which is a very close walk to Brightenhouse), or taking taxis! As for the afterparty, there are multiple buses that take you from Mondrian Hotel to the venue. Otherwise, it's about a 15-minute walk to the afterparty.
