Questions
FAQ
When should I arrive?
Plan to arrive on the island Friday, April 23, if you can. There's an optional welcome party at the farm on Friday for anyone who'd like to come. If Friday doesn't work, coming over Saturday morning is completely fine: a few ferries will get you to the island in plenty of time for the wedding. Ferries from Anacortes take 65 to 90 minutes, and walking on is easy: most places to stay are a few minutes' walk from the ferry, and we'll have a shuttle to the venue on the wedding day. If you bring a car, reserve a spot as soon as reservations open in late February. See Travel.
When can I be at the farm?
This one matters. The venue only allows guests on the property during event hours: Friday 5 to 10 pm, Saturday 11 am to 11 pm, and Sunday 9 am to noon. Please don't arrive early or linger after. We'd love to have you the whole time, but it's the venue's rule and we have to honor it.
Where should I stay?
In Friday Harbor, about ten minutes from the farm. Book Friday and Saturday nights as early as you can; it's a small town and spring weekends fill up. See Lodging for places we like.
How far is Roche Harbor from downtown Friday Harbor?
About 10 miles, or a 20-minute drive north on Roche Harbor Road. Taxis and shuttle services run from the Friday Harbor ferry landing if you don't have a car.
Is there parking?
Yes, the farm has about 40 parking spots for guests. We'll also have a shuttle running from downtown Friday Harbor to the venue on the wedding day, so you can leave the car in town.
What should I wear?
Dress code is cocktail attire.
What is the weather like in April?
Cool and changeable, but drier than you might expect: the island sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and gets noticeably less rain than Seattle. Expect highs in the mid 50s°F, lows in the 40s, wind off the water, and some sun between showers. Evenings get chilly, so we recommend a warm shawl or wrap for the ladies and a jacket for the gentlemen. We'll have umbrellas on site.
Can I bring my kids?
Our wedding is adults only. Babies who aren't walking yet are welcome; otherwise, no guests under 18 unless we've specifically given permission.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation lists everyone in your party by name. If you have a plus-one, they'll be named on your invitation.
Where are you registered?
On Zola. See Registry.
