We have decided not to reserve a hotel block. There are a number of hotels near the aquarium. Here are just a few: Green Tortoise Hostel (0.2 miles away), The Charter Hotel (0.3 miles away), The State Hotel (0.4 miles away), Executive Hotel Pacific (0.4 miles away), Crown Plaza (0.5 miles away), Hotel Max (0.6 miles away), Edgewater Hotel (0.6 miles away).
And MANY more. Plus, lots of options on AirBNB. Please be aware that most hotels in the downtown area do NOT have free parking, the cost of parking at a hotel can be substantial, and parking spots need to be booked ahead of time.
Where should I park?
NOTE: This page previously said that parking vouchers were provided at the aquarium. This is no longer the case. BUT evening parking at the Pike Place Market garage isn't too bad ($8 for the night if you arrive after 5pm). Otherwise, you can use SpotHero to book a cheap reserved parking spot.
Your best bet is to avoid parking! Parking downtown is scarce and expensive. Uber/Lyft/cab if you can.

What time is the event?
Doors open at 6:30 and we are planning to start the ceremony pretty quick! 6:45 or so. So please try to arrive as close to 6:30 as you can.
What should I wear?
Whatever you want to party & be photographed in! Aim for "dressy casual."
What about my partner and/or kids?
If you got a paper invitation, the invited guests (including plus ones) were printed on the envelope. Your RSVP form on this website should also reflect your household members & expected guests. If you would like to bring an additional guest or child, please reach out ASAP and we will see if we can accommodate.
