FAQ's


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. We are so excited to share our wedding with all of 
you and hope that this website will provide you with all of the information you need. 


Where's the wedding?
St. Paul's Church and the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion, located near each other in Port Gamble, Washington
(see 'Directions' & 'Lodging' for more about location, directions and accommodations)






What time?
4:30 ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour and sit down dinner (and then dancing of course). 
A county ordinance says we have to have the music off by 10 pm, so it won't be a late late night.

How far is it from Seattle?
Well, it's pretty close as the crow flies but you'll need to take a ferry. Expect up to an hour of driving 
plus a 30 minute ferry. Provide plenty of time to catch the ferry - give yourself a buffer of 2-3 ferries
 in case you don't make it on the one you wanted! Check out the 'Directions' tab for all the details.

Does this mean I'll need a rental car?
That will certainly be easiest, but you could carpool. You can get to downtown Seattle from the airport
pretty easily on light rail, so if you know other folks headed to the wedding, you can carpool from there.

Is there a cab I can take?
There is a taxi in the area that can get you between your hotel/lodging and Port Gamble. 
I was told it would be about $35 for a ride between Poulsbo and Port Gamble.

Where should I stay?
Head over to the 'Lodging' tab for all you need to know. Short answer - you've got options!

I'm wary of the weather out your way. What should I be prepared for?
Well Seattle is beautiful in the summer, and Port Gamble is in a dry part of western Washington to begin with, so it should be dry, but in the case that it's not - both venues are covered! It does get a little chilly at night, so ladies might want to bring a cardigan just in case, but dress for humidity-free summer weather!

What else should I do while I'm in Washington?
So glad you asked! Head over to the 'Visiting Seattle' tab for all sorts of recommendations.

Why does this all seem different than last time I checked out the website?
Due to our original venue (Semiahmoo Hotel) closing (oh hey, they reopened on 8/15/13, imagine that!), 
we had to find a new place, and that meant changing the date too. Port Gamble was a favorite 
when we were picking venues back in July 2012, so we called them up and took the only 
date they had left! We think it's a beautiful place and we are so excited to get married there!
