  • Each ceremony will be unique, and you can expect vows and some sort of wedding pageantry. Kate is campaigning for a new ring at each stop. Will is TBD on this request.

  • Both Kate & Will have chosen to wear a different fit for each ceremony to match the vibe of the gathering.

  • While Kate & Will love being guests at a traditional wedding, they noticed the married couple is often rushing around, spending only moments with each of the many people they love most.

    By breaking the wedding down into five smaller gatherings, Kate & Will are hoping to spend more quality time with their loved ones, in a relaxed atmosphere.

    Additionally, the average cost of a 150 person wedding in Seattle is $80k. While weddings are a blast, Kate & Will have decided they would rather use that money to invest in their future home. By gathering at homes, and forgoing professional services such as photographers, florists, and caterers, they have been able to significantly reduce the cost of their wedding…even though there are five.
