Where is everything taking place?

Everything will be taking place at the home of Aaron and Holly Steele — 1310 Carlyon Ave SE, Olympia, WA 98501. We can’t wait to welcome you there.

Can I still RSVP?

Our RSVP period has now closed. If you need to reach us, please email us directly at hello.thesteelewedding@outlook.com.

How do I RSVP?

Just fill out the RSVP form right here on the website — it only takes a minute, and we’ll be so happy to see your name come through.

What should I wear?

The dress code is Summer Formal — think elegant and warm-weather appropriate. Ladies are welcome to wear ankle-length or floor-length dresses in vibrant colors or soft pastels. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear dress slacks with a button-down or a suit jacket. You’re going to look wonderful.

Will the celebration be indoors or outdoors?

The entire celebration will be held outside in the open air. Restrooms will be outdoors. We recommend comfortable footwear for grass, and dressing in a way that lets you enjoy the summer evening.

What’s the weather usually like in late June?

Olympia in late June is typically warm and sunny — one of our favorite times of year here. Evenings can cool down a bit, so a light wrap or layer is a nice thing to have on hand just in case.

Where do I park?

Parking may be available across the street at Olympia High School, though we cannot guarantee availability. We encourage carpooling or arranging a rideshare if that’s easier for you.

Will transportation be provided?

We won’t have arranged transportation, so we encourage everyone to plan their way to and from the venue ahead of time. Rideshares are a great option if you’d like to fully enjoy the evening.

Can I leave my car overnight?

We can’t guarantee the security of overnight parking, so we’d recommend making a plan to have your car home with you at the end of the night.

Will there be food and drinks?

Yes — we’re so excited to share a meal together. Dinner will be served during the reception, along with drinks and dessert throughout the evening.

Are children coming?

We adore your little ones, and this celebration will be primarily adults-only. That said, there are a few sweet exceptions — Matteo (ring bearer), Isabella (flower girl), and the bride’s minor siblings.

Can I bring a plus one?

This is an invite-only celebration, so we’re only able to accommodate the guests named on each invitation. We hope you understand, and we truly can’t wait to spend the day with you.

What happens if it rains?

We’ve got a backup plan ready just in case. Whatever the weather brings, the day is going to be beautiful.

Where should I stay if I’m traveling from out of town?

We’ve put together a list of nearby hotels on the Hotels page to make things a little easier. Please note that we’re not able to provide discounted room blocks, but we hope the suggestions are helpful.

Is there a registry?

Honestly, having you there with us is more than enough. For those who would still like to give something, we’ve set up a honeymoon fund on the website — and every bit is deeply appreciated. You can find it on the Registry page.

Is there an afterparty?

Yes! If you’d like to keep the night going, you’re warmly invited to join us at Nicole’s Bar (109 Legion Way SW, Olympia) starting at 9:30 PM. Reservations are under Lonna — just let them know at the door.
