Things to Know
Welcome Drinks
Join us the night before the ceremony at Optimism Brewing in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, near downtown Seattle. We’ve reserved a private space upstairs to enjoy snacks, wine, and beer.
We highly recommend taking an Uber to and from the brewery as the area can get pretty busy. However, there is paid parking close by as well as a light rail station a half mile directly north of the brewery.
Kids are welcome to join. While the brewery is dog-friendly, dogs are not allowed upstairs in the private event space.
The Venue
Willows Lodge is a hotel in the center of Woodinville’s wine district, a short drive northeast of Seattle. In walking distance of the venue are several world-class tasting rooms, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, and amazing scenery to enjoy.
The venue provides valet parking for wedding guests at the time of the ceremony. There is also Uber and other ride shares available to get you anywhere you need.
Dress code for the event is cocktail attire / semi-formal. Don’t over think it, be comfortable, but leave the cargo shorts at home 😉
