Washington has a 3-day waiting period after you buy your license. The license is valid for 60 days. Apply online or in person, then pick a date that fits your window.

We book weddings up to 90 days in advance. For same-day ceremonies, we usually need 2-3 hours’ notice (but can’t guarantee availability). Have a specific date in mind? Don’t wait—book it today. Prefer to book over the phone? We'd love to chat! Call us at 206.372.3349.

We like to keep it simple! Here's what we'll need:

• Names (or names you prefer to be called)

• Preferred date + time

• Whether you have your marriage license, or when you are applying

• Do you need witnesses? (we provide them for free for weddings performed at our venue, if needed)

• Are you bringing guests? (how many)

• Contact info (email + phone)

• 3–4 songs you love (we’ll make you a playlist!). You can provide this when you book OR when you arrive for your wedding!

You can apply at your county recorder’s office (the following info is for King County, but you can apply at any WA County). Start the process either online with in‑person follow‑up or fully in‑person at: 201 S. Jackson St., Ste. 204, Seattle, WA 98104. (Only one partner needs to appear in person.)

After paying for your license, a mandatory 3-day waiting period begins before it becomes valid. The license remains valid for 60 days after that waiting period. Here is a calculator that shows you when you need to apply, based on your ceremony date.

Of course! We love visitors. We’re appointment-only so please call ahead (206.372.3349) so we can make sure someone is available to meet you.

You pick the bars (3 to 5 of them) from our list of favorites below, or bring your own list (within walking distance in Georgetown). We’ll handle the ceremony. ⁣ At each stop, we’ll perform a part of your vows and raise a toast (or three). It’s a roving celebration, wrapped up in about 90 minutes and packed with personality.

​

We like to say: 3 bars = you’ll remember your wedding. 5 bars = questionable.

A Pub Crawl wedding is $500 (plus any food & beverages you or your party purchase).

Choose from Georgetown-area bars like:

Star Brass

Post Pike

9lb Hammer

Smarty Pants

Jules Maes

We offer $25 off for our service members - active or veterans. Just mention when you book.
