Venue & Schedule

General Info

Bellevue, WA is a city located 10 miles east of Seattle across Lake Washington. Our venue is in the heart of downtown Bellevue and very walkable to many dining, shopping, and entertainment options! Most guests will be flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), the closest major airport. SEA is approximately a 25–35 minute drive to Bellevue, depending on traffic. Rideshares, taxis, rental cars, and public buses are all readily available from the airport. We recommend staying in Bellevue to be close to wedding festivities and cut down on travel time! Guests are welcome to stay in Seattle, but please note travel times can be 30+ minutes depending on traffic.

Gifts

Please note we do not have a registry and kindly ask no boxed gifts. We are so grateful to have you celebrating with us — especially those traveling from near and far. Your presence is truly the greatest gift! In Chinese weddings, it’s instead traditional to give a Hong Bao - which is a monetary gift in a card or envelope! But this is entirely optional. What matters most to us is that you’re there to celebrate, laugh, and make memories together. Whatever you choose, we appreciate it deeply and feel so lucky to have you celebrate with us in-person on our big day!

RSVP

Please RSVP via the tab above by July 19th, 2026.
