Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The wedding calls for cocktail attire! Late June tends to be warmer in the day, but it's the Pacific Northwest, so come prepared for anything! We recommend bringing warm layers for cooler temperatures at night. The ceremony will be in a forest on wood chips, and the reception will be on the grassy lawn with a dance floor, so wear appropriate footwear.

Question

On the wedding day, we'll be serving a BBQ dinner with salads, sides and mains. To drink, there will be an open bar with signature cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Sweet and savory s'mores will be provided later in the evening.

If your invitation did not already include a guest, you are welcome to bring a plus one! Should your originally invited guest be unable to attend, feel free to invite another companion in their place.

Answer

Yes! The day before our wedding is our welcome dinner and rehearsal. The day after our wedding is a relaxed post-wedding celebration. All guests are invited to both events. Please see Schedule page for more information.
