Q + A

When is the RSVP deadline? Do I need to mail back my RSVP or can I do it online?

The venue has requested an RSVP deadline of June 1st. All RSVPs should be done through this site, in the RSVP tab. This is also how you will choose what you'd like for dinner!

What should I do if I can’t make it?

You will be missed! We know that this is a long trip for some of our loved ones, so we understand if you're unable to join us. If you can not make it, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so that we can plan accordingly :)

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?

We do not have a reserved hotel block. Please see the "Where To Stay" tab for hotel recommendations, however, you do not need to adhere to those. There are tons of great places in Gig Harbor and Tacoma.

What Should I Wear?

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire, however, we want everyone to both look AND feel their best. Wear something that makes you feel confident, and has enough movement to dance in! The ceremony does take place on grass, but the entirety of the reception will be indoors or on pavement.

Where should guests park? Is parking free?

There is a large parking lot at the venue that is free! If you're drinking and you need to leave your vehicle behind (please get home safe!) they will need to be picked up the following morning. The venue manager assured us that Uber and Taxi companies service the area, but I'd recommend planning ahead for a designated driver if possible.

What will the weather be like this time of year?

For those coming from out of state, we can assure you that it doesn't ALWAYS rain! The average mid-July day in Gig Harbor falls within the low to mid 70's, dipping down into the 60's in the late evening. A light jacket may be needed, but dancing is a great way to stay warm!

Are kids welcome?

Of course! All kids that we are expecting are listed on the RSVP. If a child isn't listed and you'd like to bring them, reach out to the Bride or Groom.

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will be outdoors, as long as we're not greeted by any heavy rain. (We do have a backup plan to move the ceremony indoors if needed!) The reception dinner and bar will be indoors, while the dancing will be in a convertible event tent adjacent to the building. The tent does have walls that can be brought down if it gets too chilly.

What happens after the ceremony?

After the ceremony, guests can head up the stairs (or the ramp, if needed) into the reception hall for cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres. The bride and groom will head off to take photos during this time.

Are the ceremony and reception location wheelchair accessible?

Yes, there is a ramp available. The ceremony takes place on a raised grassy area, so wheelchairs will need to be pushed up a small hill, but there will be plenty of people to assist. If you will be utilizing a wheelchair, please let the Bride or Groom know so that we can leave a space for your chair in the ceremony and reception seating charts. (There is plenty of space to store walkers as well)

Will food and drinks be served at the reception? What kind of food?

Yes, come hungry! During the cocktail hour guests will be served hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Dinner will be a plated dinner service provided by the venue. Please select your choice of entree (beef, chicken, fish, vegetarian) when filling out your RSVP. This cannot be changed after submitting. Beer and wine will be provided complimentary to guests, and we will have a fully stocked cash bar if you prefer liquor. (There will also be a water station, and soda is available at the bar.)

Where are you registered?

We have already been blessed with a home and everything that we need to fill it. In lieu of physical gifts, we are going to be utilizing a Honeymoon Fund. Contributions toward our honeymoon can be made under the "Registry" tab on this site, or if you'd like to gift in-person, we will have a locked card box at the event. We are looking forward to taking our first married trip together in (hopefully) early 2024!

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Yes! Please keep photos to a minimum during the ceremony as we will have a photographer, but after that, go for it! We just ask that you send them to us as well so that we can save them, and when posting, use our hashtag #TheWerks2023

I still have questions, what is the best way to contact you?

You can call/text Bry at (206) 293-9855 (text is preferred). Our parents will be able to answer most questions as well.
