Georgetown is one of Seattle's most alive neighborhoods, and that's exactly what makes it a great place to get married.

Art Attack fills the streets with people every second Saturday. 
The Georgetown Carnival in June turns Airport Way into a full block party.

It's a neighborhood worth knowing before your wedding day, so you can decide whether you want to lean into the energy or plan around it. Parking and street noise vary a lot depending on what's happening.
