FAQs
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
If your invite explicitly addressed you and a guest then you are welcome to bring a date. If not, unfortunately we are tight on space and couldn't offer you a date.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Unfortunately, due to budget and space constraints, only the nieces and nephews of the bride and groom will be invited.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there is parking at the ceremony and reception, your car just must be removed from the premises by 10 am the next day. So, if you plan on drinking you can leave your car overnight. An even better option though will be using our shuttle service that will come from downtown Seattle to the venue. Please look at the Schedule page for more information.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes, we will offer a shuttle service from hotels downtown to the venue. Check out the Schedule page.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
Yes, please look at the schedule page of the website.
Question
Is there parking for the Friday Night Event?
Answer
If you are staying within Seattle, Ubering, walking or taking public transportation might be your best bet. If you do plan to drive, there is parallel street parking on the streets nearby. This will be paid parking though the PayByPhone app. For free parking look for cross streets between 12th and 13th and also on 13th itself. Again, head south away from the venue for better luck. Alternatively, the venue is right next to Seattle University. The closest lot they have to the venue is their Visitor Lot (12th and E. Marion St): https://www.seattleu.edu/transportation-and-parking-services/visitor-parking/. The lot is a two-minute walk from the venue and likely your only non-parallel parking option.
Question
Is there a hotel block or a main place everyone is staying?
Answer
We have such a wide mix of friends and family coming from all over the world. Their housing needs are all going to look very different, so there isn't really one hotel that we think most people will be staying at. Additionally, an Airbnb will likely be much cheaper than a hotel even with a small hotel block discount as that discount doesn't even cover taxes. August is unfortunately one of the most expensive time of years in Seattle. If a hotel downtown is the goal we currently have the shuttles picking up at the Westin downtown Seattle, so staying there might be easiest. We expect many people to have to uber, drive, walk or take public transportation to the shuttles due to the variety of housing situations for the weekend.
