FAQs
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
As August is the most popular month for weddings in WA, we highly recommend you book your accommodation as soon as possible. We have booked a room block at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington (see travel page for more details). There are also several Airbnbs and VRBOs in the area if you are traveling with a larger family. We request guests Uber, Lyft or taxi to the event as there will be no shuttle, but will have shuttle at the end of the event to bring guests back to the Hyatt.
Question
How do I Rsvp?
Answer
Wedding invites are out and you can now RSVP. If you think you have already done it, we recommend just putting your name in again to confirm that your RSVP was received - this helps to make sure we have a clear headcount! Our deadline to RSVP is June 27th, 2026.

If my guest or someone in my party can no longer go, can I invite someone in their place?

While we would love to open it up to everyone, if your guest or someone in your party can no longer go, please do not bring someone else in their place. For extenuating circumstances please reach out to the bride or groom.

Question
What if I have dietary allergies or restrictions?
Answer
On your RSVP there is a section for you to list any dietary restrictions or food allergies. We will accommodate those that list restrictions or allergies on their RSVP.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
There will be street parking available with an option to drop off any guests who have trouble walking, closer to the front of the residence. As parking is limited, we encourage our guests to carpool with family or friends, or Uber, Lyft, or taxi to the event. At the end of the night there will be a shuttle service departing from the residence, which will drop off at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington (see travel page for more details). Guests can catch an Uber, Lyft or taxi from the residence if they don't wish to wait for the shuttle, but please prepare that it could take 20 minutes for a ride to arrive.

Please see our Dress Code section for more details on weather and what to wear.

Question
Is it okay to take pictures or videos with our phones during the wedding?
Answer
The bride and groom have hired a wonderful photographer and videographer, so we kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos with your phone, during the ceremony. Please keep it on silent and tucked away in a purse or pocket! After the ceremony once the event has moved on to cocktail hour and dinner, please feel free to take photos!! The bride would love to see candids, photos of decor, events, etc.

Will there be an open bar?

We will have an open bar of beer, wine and champagne.
