What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Get ready to celebrate in your favorite cocktail attire! We invite you to express yourself with color, silhouettes, textures, and fabrics, but please leave the jeans back at your hotel! It'll be on the chilly side, especially at night. We recommend you bring a sweater or light jacket.
Can I bring my children?
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
Can I come to the wedding if I'm not vaccinated?
Our priority is the health and safety of our guests and the staff working the event. As such, we are requiring all guests to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend all festivities.
If you are not currently vaccinated, we lovingly encourage you to do so in order to join the party and to ensure your long-term health. If you decide against getting vaccinated, we look forward to celebrating with you in the future.
What will the weather be like this time of year?
If you enjoy looking at a blue sky and love the sun then May is a great time to go to Friday Harbor! The average temperature is 63°F. You may associate the PNW with a lot of rain. Luckily for us, Friday Harbor is located in what is called a rain shadow, which significantly reduces the chance of rain.
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Weather permitting, the wedding ceremony will be outside overlooking Puget Sound. The reception will be inside with space outside equipped with firepits.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 5:00pm. Jolly Trolly, an adorable island trolly, will pick up from two locations on the island and will drop off guests at the venue for a short walk to the ceremony lawn. We will update with specific pick-up times as we get closer to the date.
Where should guests park? Is parking free?
There is no parking onsite. Guests have two options to get to the property: Travel island style by hopping on the Jolly Trolly provided by Brandon and Courtney (pickup time and location TBD); coordinate with one of the island taxis. Be sure to book taxis ahead of schedule as options are limited.
We will update here with specific pick-up times as we get closer to the date.
Can I bring a date?
We have a strict guest list to stay on budget. As much as we'd love to meet everyone's significant other or travel buddy, we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?
Due to the nature of small islands, there are no large occupancy hotels. There are a number of boutique hotel options as well as Roche Harbor Resort. Please check out the 'Travel + Accommodations' page for more details on accommodation options. There are also a number of charming homes, cabins, and condos for rent on the island via websites such as Airbnb and VRBO.
