Question

What is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Saturday, April 18th, 2026

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, there is a dress code: Garden Semi-Formal—Dressy, but relaxed! For women, think cocktail dresses, flowy midi or maxi dresses, or jumpsuits—florals and soft colors fit right in. For men, slacks with a button-down shirt or a suit (tie optional) are perfect. Just keep in mind that the ceremony will be outdoors, so choose shoes that can handle grass (block heels, wedges, or flats are a good idea!). Reception will be held indoors.

Question

What's the weather like in May on San Juan Island?

Answer

Spring on the island is beautiful but can be unpredictable—think mild temps with a chance of rain. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing a light jacket, just in case.

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you enjoy a night off to relax and celebrate with us!

Question

How do I get to Friday Harbor?

Answer

The easiest way to get to the island is by ferry from Anacortes, WA. Ferries run regularly, and we recommend checking the schedule ahead of time to plan your trip.
