FAQ

Can I bring my kids?

The August 2 wedding and reception is strictly adults only, but kids may attend the August 1 Traditional Ceremony (there will be lots of kids there) and the August 3 Casual Brunch Hang. Let us know in the RSVP if you need help finding local childcare, we can connect you to babysitters!

Should I plan to come to the August 1 Traditional Ceremony?

If you can, yes! All our guests are welcome at the traditional ceremony on August 1! Don't worry if this your first time at a Yoruba party, all you need to do is come ready to eat and dance. We know it's not easy for everyone to make a Friday evening event, especially if you're flying in from out of town, so do what makes sense to you. We're happy to celebrate with you for however much time you can!

What should I wear to the traditional ceremony?

You can wear any semi-formal outfit to the traditional ceremony, but if you want to get into the festive occasion, consider an outfit or accent item in our wedding colors


Wedding color for friends: Light Blue


Wedding color for extended family (cousins, uncles, aunts, etc.): Sage Green or Light Green


What happens at the traditional ceremony?

You can read more about Yoruba engagement ceremonies here -- but mostly expect Nigerian food, dancing, and celebratory fun. Bring cash in small denominations -- $1, $5, etc. -- to "spray" the couple with for good luck.

Do you have a room block?

Most of our guests are local, so we don't have a specific room block. We've put a list of hotel ideas below to help you plan for where to stay.

Hotel Ideas

Since most of our guests are local, we don't have a room block, but see our list below for some local hotel recommendations a short distance from the venue. There are also many Airbnbs in the area! We encourage you to book early! August is Seattle's high season for tourism.
