Chihuly Garden and Glass is an exhibit in the Seattle Center directly next to the Space Needle, showcasing the studio glass of Dale Chihuly. During the reception, the wedding guests will get private access to the museum and glass gardens to explore the beautiful glass sculptures. https://www.chihulygardenandglass.com/
Our wedding will be an elegant affair and we ask that everyone wear formal attire (black tie optional). Some ideas for the ladies would be a floor-length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit. For the men, consider a formal suit with a conservative tie, or even the option of a tuxedo.
There are many parking options around Seattle Center: - There’s street parking nearby in the evenings - KOMO4 Plaza is just across the street – self-park garage - Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is down the street on 5th - Seattle Center has many options for self-parking We will also be providing shuttle service after the wedding between Chihuly and Westin Hotel, so you might also consider the Westin Parking garage if you plan to join us at the hotel for the afterparty. There is a Seattle Kraken game that day, so be sure to arrive early as traffic and parking will certainly be busy.
At this time, the State and the venue do require all guests to wear a face-covering at all times when not eating or drinking, regardless of vaccination status. The wedding party is allowed to remove masks for the ceremony and other key moments, but guests must be prepared to wear masks throughout the wedding. We will update this section if there are changes to the policy.
We are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test (within 48 hours) for all wedding guests.
There are many rapid testing sites in King County. We recommend visiting the website - https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/testing.aspx - to find the best location for you. Be sure to make a reservation to ensure they have availability.
Chihuly is just 7 short blocks from Westin hotel. If your shoes aren't made for walking, we recommend a short ride in an Uber, Lift, or Taxi which can be hailed right in front of the hotel.
