FAQs

Question

Are dogs allowed?

Answer

Let's get the important things out of the way first - No. But only because it will be incredibly difficult for Lisa to take him or her home.

Question

No, but really, what time will the ceremony actually start?

Answer

As of now the ceremony is set to begin at 5:30pm. If our timeline changes, we will notify you. Either way, please plan to arrive slightly before the start time.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have two hotel blocks for our guests: the Warwick and the Maxwell. Although more expensive, the Warwick is in a more central location and closer to Pike's Place Market. The Maxwell is closer to the space needle and Kerry Park (to get the iconic Seattle picture), but not central for much else. We welcome you to stay at any other hotel located in the area too. There are several options that are part of Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt, or Marriot, if you would like to use or accumulate hotel points.

Question

Where do I need to go between the ceremony and reception? What is there to do?

Answer

Head to the bar located several feet away from the ceremony location for drinks and appetizers! If you have trouble finding the bar, the best bet is probably to follow a groomsman or bridesmaid.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail or semi-formal attire. The ceremony and cocktails will be outdoors, so please consider the weather. We are hoping for sunny and warm. Typically the weather is in the 70s during the day and high 50s at night. We recommend a jacket for the evening. The ceremony will be on grass. Although the ground is very firm, heels may sink in. Please take that into account.

Question

May I bring a date?

Answer

We tried our best to learn the name of your significant other and invite them. Those not in a relationship are welcome to bring a date. With that said, we kindly request that RSVP for yourself and your date (and select your meal preference) before May 15.

Question

May I bring my children?

Answer

As much as we love your children, we request that you leave that at home for the evening. If you are coming from out of town, we are happy to help arrange group babysitting or get referrals.

Question

What is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

May 15th.

Question

Will there be food?

Question

What should I do if I have a dietary restriction?
