Our attire is formal. Suits and tea or floor length dresses are ideal. No tuxes needed. The ceremony will take place on a lawn so wear shoes that can manage grass and pebbles.

For our East Coast friends - please dress casual! No need to wear a dress/heels. And for our Seattle friends - dress like you are going to dinner with your parents or to a reservation at Homer. Wear comfortable shoes (nicer sneakers perhaps) and bring something to keep you warm around the fire while we make smores.

TJ and Kate are encouraging guests to stay on site at the venue, IslandWood, for the wedding weekend.

TJ and Kate have arranged shuttles to take guests from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal to IslandWood from 4PM to 8PM on Friday and from IslandWood to the ferry terminal from 8AM to 11AM on Sunday.

The all-inclusive rate for the weekend is $315 a night per room (for first two guests) and $80 extra per night per additional adult. This all-inclusive rate includes all 5 meals throughout the weekend. There are several room layouts, the most common accommodating at most 6 people with 2 queen beds and two twin beds

All rooms will have in-unit bathrooms and showers along with all the linens you'd expect from a hotel. However, IslandWood does not provide mini toiletry bottles (for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash) in order to reduce single use plastics. There are also no hair dryers or ironing boards. However, each lodge has an amenities room with a washer and dryer, iron and board, and extra linens. Kate and TJ will stock a steamer and hair dryer for each lodge, as well.

Check-in is at 5PM, but guests are welcome to come by starting at 4PM and drop their bags at the welcome center and explore IslandWoods 250 acre campus. Check out is at 11AM but guests are welcome to stay on campus until 12PM.

TJ and Kate have arranged shuttles to take guests from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal to IslandWood from 4PM to 8PM on Friday and from IslandWood to the ferry terminal from 8AM to 11AM on Sunday.
