Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors at The Montvale Event Center - 1019 W 1st Ave, Spokane, WA 99201. The ceremony will be on the second floor, while the reception will be on the first floor. There are stairs and an elevator making the venue wheelchair accessible.
There are 4 metered parking spots directly in front of the venue - those are reserved for our vendors only and will be marked. Any other metered parking is available along with many parking lots and garages nearby. Ubering to the venue is also a good option if you are staying in Spokane, WA.
The ceremony begins at 5pm, followed by a cocktail hour at 6pm - then, dinner at 7pm with dancing to follow. We recommend arriving about 30 minutes prior to the ceremony beginning and the evening will conclude by 11pm.
We will be sending RSVP return envelopes with our invitations, please use those or get ahold of the bride or groom to let us know whether you can make it or not.
Please RSVP by July 15th, 2024 so we can be sure to properly accommodate.
Yes, both floors that are being used for the ceremony and reception have their own fully stocked bar. We have covered the first $1000 towards alcohol, then once that is reached it will be for the guests to cover their own drinks. All those planning to drink alcohol must show proof of age with a government issued ID. Last call will be one hour before the end of the night.
We encourage our guests to dress up with us and wear formal earth tones (greens, blues, neutrals, etc. - except white) but ultimately care most about our guests being comfortable and having a good time!
We do not have a gift registry as we are not needing any homely gifts. Having our guests present at our wedding to share a day of celebration is what matters most to us. If you insist on giving something, we will gratefully have a cash fund available through cards, Venmo, or Zelle to go towards future expenses.
The invitations will indicate if you have availability for a plus one, and kids are of course welcome! Please be sure to mark who will be in attendance on the RSVP so we can accommodate.
We will have a full dinner at the reception around 7pm. If you have any special dietary needs we should be made aware of, please let Nic or Katie know as soon as possible so we can make sure you are accommodated.
