Welcome & Key Information

Our medieval-themed wedding ceremony and feast will be held in the afternoon on Saturday 6/23/18 at the Wellspring Spa in Ashford, WA.

Important information about attire, lodging, and other topics will be provided below. Important links (venue, Honeyfund registry, etc.) are in the right-hand sidebar (viewable on a desktop).

We are so excited to share this next step in our lives with you!

- Lauren and Mark



ATTIRE

We welcome and encourage all guests to join in on our medieval theme by wearing medieval "garb" (attire).

The "setting" of our wedding is late 1400s England - if you would like to dress for the time period, there is detailed information about the fashions of that time below. However, we also welcome a freer interpretation of "medieval" to include renaissance and fantasy elements. :) Resources for buying or making medieval garb are below.

Please note the venue is lovely but very rustic - think summer camp! This is a wooded venue with dirt paths which may be muddy if it rains (unlikely in late June, but always possible in Seattle!) - please plan to wear comfortable shoes. Ladies will be most comfortable in low heels or flats. This is also a PNW wedding, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater as the night will cool off a bit. The average weather for the day is a high of 67 and low of 48.

SCHEDULE

Please plan to arrive in Ashford by noon on Saturday. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00pm. Wedding festivities will conclude by noon on Sunday.
