Where to stay
Lodging
We have arranged a block of rooms at Roche Harbor Resort for your convenience, where the wedding will be held. While we hope many of you will be able to stay at the resort, please note that availability within our room block is limited and cannot accommodate all our guests.
We will open the room block and group code here as soon as our families have booked. We appreciate your patience until then.
While there are many different types of accommodations available (from single rooms to multiple bedroom houses), the majority of lodging options at the resort are multiple bedroom units, so please consider sharing with other family or friends.
To ensure you have a comfortable stay that suits your needs and budget, we recommend booking your accommodations as early as possible, and by June 1, 2027.

Q+A
What should I wear?
“Upstage the Bride” (Cocktail)
Our bride has given full permission: we want everyone looking their absolute best! Gentlemen: We encourage you to wear a suit. Boots and jeans will be promptly escorted off the premises.
What will the weather be like?
Early October in the San Juan Islands is crisp and cozy. Daytime temperatures usually land in the mid-50s to low 60s, and evenings cool off to the mid-40s, especially near the water. Showers are always possible, but the islands are drier than much of the Pacific Northwest, and many days are a mix of sun and clouds.
The reception will be indoor/outdoor with large fireplaces. See the event schedule for specifics.
Can I bring my kids?
This is an adults-only weekend (with the exception of our nieces and immediate family). We hope this gives you an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing weekend away.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Due to venue capacity and headcounts, we are only able to accommodate the guests explicitly named on your invitation. If you receive a plus-one, it will be listed on your invitation and reflected when you RSVP online.
How do I get around?
For guests staying in Roche Harbor, everything is just a short stroll away. If you choose to stay off-resort, the island is small and extremely easy to navigate. We recommend a rental car or carpooling with friends/family.
What about gifts?
Your presence at our wedding is genuinely all we could ask for! We know that a weekend with us on the island requires time, effort, and expense, and we are so grateful you’re making the trip. Please do not feel obligated to give a gift.
Should you still feel inclined, a contribution toward our Honeymoon Fund will help us create some incredible memories as newlyweds.
Can I stay extra nights?
Yes. The block covers two nights, but you can request additional nights through the resort, based on availability. Book early for the best options.
Is parking included?
Yes. You will get a complimentary parking pass, and there is plenty of parking near your accommodation.
Who do I contact with questions?
Feel free to contact Michael directly.
