Planning your weekend..
We're excited to see you in Seattle! Here's the quick basics on logistics. In general, we recommend arriving in Seattle on November 8th, and planning to depart on the 10th.
All wedding-related events during the weekend will be happening around the Pike Place Market area of Seattle, and should all be easily walkable from both the Four Seasons Hotel (where the wedding ceremony and reception will take place) and the W Hotel (where we also have a block of rooms available for our guests).
If you do arrive by car, both the Four Seasons Hotel and W Hotel have valet parking available for a fee. There's also city street and garage parking nearby.
The closest parking is at the Russell Investment Garage located on Union between 1st and 2nd is on the South side of street and is $10. This is a 1/2 block from the Four Seasons. You may also park at the Four Seasons at $35.
Reach out to us at Love@HilaryandJeffrey.com to discuss any travel logistics, put your hand up to share a room with another solo traveler, or anything else.

If you're sticking around on Sunday and up to explore, try out the kitsch classic Sunday Ice Cream Cruise around Lake Union. Hilary is a huge fan of the lake tour and Jeffrey is well on his way to mastering Capt. Larry's humor.
There are lots of museums to check out - this outdoor sculpture garden is a lovely walk for a drier day: .
