While our wedding ceremony and reception took place in Kansas, many people who have shaped our lives live elsewhere and couldn't make it.
So we’re hosting a relaxed, open-house reception in Northwest Washington (where Erin grew up and Andrew has always dreamed of living).
There will be no formal program or pressure to dress up. We just want a chance to connect with more friends and family!
Location: Bay View Civic Hall (12615 C. Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98273)
Date: Saturday, April 25, 2026
Time: 1-5 p.m.
Please RSVP by March 31, 2026 so that we have an accurate(ish) headcount.
We'll be wearing our wedding dress and tuxedo, but we mean it when we say come in whatever you're most comfortable wearing!
You're welcome to bring your partner and/or children! Please note anyone that will be attending with you in the RSVP form.
We will be booking a food truck, as well as providing assorted refreshments (alcoholic and nonalcoholic).
We don't wish to make a registry, so gifts are absolutely not expected, but will be gratefully accepted.
We are working to obtain hotel block rates, but in the meantime our recommendation is to look for rooms or house rentals in the following cities: Anacortes, Bellingham, Burlington, Mount Vernon, or Sedro-Woolley.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival takes place during the month of April, which means there will be beautiful views and bountiful traffic. So plan accordingly when it comes to traveling into or around the area for our reception. But check back soon for our list of ideas on what else you can do while visiting Skagit Valley!
