FAQs

Question

Where will the wedding be held?

Answer

We will have the same venue for both the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. The venue we have chosen is called Enumclaw Estates and it is located in Enumclaw, Washington. If you would like more information about the venue itself don't hesitate to ask!

Question

Want to stay overnight at the venue?

Answer

We have our venue booked for 4 days and 3 nights for the weekend of our wedding. There is lots of space for our guests to stay the night at the venue with us. We have decided to make your stay FREE, if you would like to stay the night with us. However, we will need to coordinate where people will be sleeping so please let us know if you would like to stay at the venue.

Question

There doesn't seem to be many places to stay in Enumclaw. Do you have recommendations?

Answer

Absolutely! A couple of hotels were included on the travel tab. However, if those aren't what you are looking for, fear not. Our venue does have lots of space for people to stay the night. We are still navigating how to assign rooms but they will be FREE to you. If you are interested in staying on location, please let us know. However, the majority of the rooms are not private (like those in hotels) - please keep that in mind. If you feel like camping, our venue does have space for people to camp on the grounds. All we ask is that you check in with us so that we can make sure everything gets set up according to the guidelines provided by the venue. If none of those options fit what you are looking for, I recommend looking into an Airbnb or VRBO rental. There are a lot of nice homes you can rent in the area. Additionally, if you don't mind a bit of a drive from the venue (only about 12 minutes), there are some hotel/Airbnb options in Buckley as well.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Sort of. The official dress code is semi-formal or dressy-casual (cocktail attire ok). However, we are not going to be sticklers about it. Please, do not feel like you have to buy something new. We just ask that you wear nicer clothes than what you wear everyday. Clothes that make you feel bonita. Think along the lines of your Sunday best but with darker tones (nothing too fancy). Guys - slacks, dark wash jeans, nice khakis with a polo or button-down shirt will do nicely! Dress shoes are not a must, but please don't wear your crocs. Gals - simple dresses and skirts work great. Don't want to wear a skirt/dress? Don't! It's also totally fine if you'd like to wear something more inline with the guys attire. Don't want to wear heels? Don't! Jenny won't be wearing heels either. Have something nice you feel like you can't wear anywhere? Wear it! If you have a more specific clothing questions, feel free to ask us!

Question

Is there a wedding theme?

Answer

There is not a specific wedding theme. The best descriptors we have come up with for the decor/vibe would be moody, autumnal, and woodsy. Think of warm fall leaves or a misty pine forest.

Question

Is this a child-free wedding?

Answer

Yes and no. This wedding is primarily being planned as an adults-only event; there likely won't be much for kiddos to do. Family members who are children, that we are close to and are named on the invites (e.g., our nieces/nephew), are welcome. If you are not a family member or your children were not named on the invites, we ask that you do not bring your children. We apologize for the inconvenience; we know this can be hard for some parents, but we are hoping that with enough notice sitters can be arranged. If you have questions or concerns, please ask us.

Question

What food will be served at the wedding?

Answer

Pizza! We will be having Cascadia Pizza cater the wedding. They will be providing unlimited pizza for our attendees along with chicken wings, meatballs, salads, and caprese skewers. There will be 4 different kinds of pizza, but we have not nailed down our specific choices for those yet. Because of the buffet-style dinner, we cannot accommodate everyone's food needs (you are welcome to check their website for dietary information). If you have food allergies or specific dietary concerns, please bring your own food. We apologize if this inconveniences anyone, but there is a nice kitchen at the venue with a large fridge for those of you who need to store your personal food. We have not decided on dessert yet but it will likely be pastries of some sort.

Question

Will alcohol be served?

Answer

Yes! We will have an open bar with limited drink options. We will have a bartender as well. We want everyone to have fun but please drink responsibly.

Question

Is smoking allowed?

Answer

Yes, but only in designated locations. There are a few specific locations around the venue that you may smoke in, per the venue owner's instructions. This includes cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, vapes, etc. You can smoke as much as you'd like in the designated locations, just be mindful of those around you.

Question

Will there be speeches?

Answer

We are not requiring anyone to make a speech, so don't feel pressured to do so. If you would like to give one, have at it!

Question

Miscellaneous Venue Rules

Answer

DRIVE SLOWLY - For those of you that are driving to the venue: leading up to the main house, where the wedding will be held, there is a long dirt driveway. The speed limit on this road is 5mph, please follow this. The venue owner has specifically indicated this is a very strict rule of his and he will enforce it. Parking - There will be a parking attendant, provided by the venue, to help those of you driving find where you can park. Noise and event end time - The music must end by 10pm in order to keep the noise low for the Enumclaw noise ordinance. However, those of you who would like to stay later are welcome to hang out by the fire or come in and play games. Please be considerate of the venue itself by not picking plants, throwing away trash in the garbage bins, and generally being courteous to the home and yard areas. This is an unusual wedding space with lots to explore - just consider how you would want someone to treat your space in the situation.
