FAQs

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Our dress code is cocktail attire. With the warm July weather and the stunning lakeside views, we're embracing a vibrant, colorful theme to match the beauty of the season. We invite all guests to express their style with elegance and comfort in mind. Outfits: Consider wearing elegant dresses, jumpsuits, stylish separates, or suits and blazers paired with dress pants. Choose summery fabrics that will keep you cool and comfortable. We encourage you to incorporate bright colors into your outfits. Floral prints, color-blocking, and even a pop of citrus accessories would add a cheerful touch to the celebration. Footwear: The venue space is indoor/outdoor. The outdoor area is flat and paved. Please opt for shoes that are both stylish and practical—heels, block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or comfortable dress shoes are all great choices. Remember to bring your smiles, as they'll be your most dazzling accessory! We can't wait to see you all in your vibrant, cocktail attire as we celebrate our special day together.

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at Dockside at Dukes between 4:30 pm and 4:45 pm to allow ample time for getting seated before the procession begins at 5:00 pm. There can be traffic in the area at this time, so please plan accordingly!

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

While there is a small lot outside the building, parking spaces are limited and we highly encourage that you walk, use Uber/Lyft, or carpool. If you choose to drive, a parking pass will be provided for you at the event. However, If you want to fully enjoy the night, we recommend you take an Uber or Lyft. Both are prevalent in the Seattle area, so you won't have any trouble getting a ride. If you are staying at the Courtyard, the venue is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute Uber/Lyft ride away.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

To ensure everyone can fully immerse themselves in the moment and enjoy the experience, we kindly request that no photos be taken during the ceremony and that phones be put away. We have a professional photographer who will capture all the special moments for us. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a peaceful and memorable atmosphere. Once the ceremony has concluded, we warmly welcome you to take photos and capture the joyous moments. Feel free to share and celebrate with us as we continue the festivities!

Question

Are children allowed at the wedding?

Answer

With the exception of Stephanie's nieces walking down the aisle as flower girls, we have chosen to make our special day an adults-only celebration to ensure all guests, especially parents, can fully enjoy the evening. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to join us for our big day! Your understanding means so much to us and we can't wait to celebrate with you.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

To ensure we can accommodate all guests comfortably, we ask that only invited guests attend our wedding. You'll find the details about your party size, including whether it includes a plus one, on the address of your invitation as well as in the RSVP section of our website.
