Q + A

Where is the Venue Located?

It is located at Lake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley, WA. The address is 22500 SE 248th ST, Maple Valley, WA 98038.

When should I arrive?

The ceremony will be starting at 4:00pm. To avoid being late and missing anything we recommend arriving no later than 3:30 pm to ensure parking and finding a seat before our ceremony starts!

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they will be specifically addressed within the subject line of the invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people in the invitation are in attendance. Thank you for understanding!

Are children welcome?

We love your little ones! However, due to limited space at our venue we have decided to keep our wedding adults only with the exception of siblings of the bride & groom. We encourage you to use this as a date night to get out and have some fun!

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We ask that you kindly put your phones and cameras away during the ceremony as we want you all to be present with us in the moment. We have a professional photographer named Julie capturing the ceremony for us. Other than the ceremony, yes! Please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like.

When should I RSVP by?

To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the event as soon as possible. However, the deadline is July 1st, 2025. If we do not receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no'. We need to provide both the venue and vendors with a total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you can understand!

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! There will be welcome drinks, wine & beer during dinner and an open bar for the party. We want you to have the best time, so the drinks are on us but the hangover is on you!

Is the wedding outside?

Yes, as the sun will be shining (hopefully) the ceremony will be outside. Please make sure to dress appropriately and keep hydrated throughout the day.

Is there a dress code?

Yes! We would love to see our family and friends dressed up with us! We are requesting a semi-formal dress code for the evening. We are asking you do not wear florals or prints, thank you for understanding!

What should I do if I can't make it?

You will be missed! If you can't make it please make sure to RSVP "no" so we can plan accordingly with our guest count for vendors. Please do this before June 15th, when RSVP's are due.

Can I leave my car overnight?

Unfortunately, no you cannot. We want you to be able to enjoy the night & not have to worry about driving so please plan accordingly! Uber & Lyft can both drop off and pick up from our venue so please plan on using one of them or another vendor if you decide on having drinks!

Where should I stay?

First off, thank you SO much for traveling the distance to celebrate with us! We have provided a link under the "Travel" tab on this website with more information regarding stays.

Can I smoke or vape at the facility?

No. You cannot smoke or vape at this facility, if you are caught smoking or vaping you will be charged a fee for doing so on the premises. We kindly ask that you avoid this while attending our wedding or else we will have to have you pay the fee. Thank you for understanding!
