rehearsal dinner
When
Friday, August 15, 2025
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Where
Aqua by El Gaucho
2801 Alaskan Way
Seattle, WA 98121
North Bay Room & Patio
Wayfinding:
At the north end of Alaskan Way, the road bends to become Broad Street (see our map of events on our Arrival page). You’ll see the Pier 70 building by the water, with an Uptown Espresso at north end of the building. Just north of the Uptown Espresso, walk or drive down the small parking garage inlet just before the fountain. It’ll feel like you’re heading out onto a dock. The restaurant entrance will be on your left by the valet parking circle.
Parking:
Follow the parking signs to Aqua’s valet at the restaurant entrance. Remember to grab a valet validation from the North Bay Room before you leave at the end of the night!
Thank You,
Rick & Mary Rhodes!!
Thank you, Rich and Mary, for honoring us with this fun event, and for extending it to everyone joining for the wedding!
Our dream was to have a weekend with a wealth of opportunities for connection and celebration, and this certainly does that.
Details
Know Before You Go
Attire:
Garden party; think casual summer dresses, linen shirts, shorts, and sandals.
Children:
Bring your littles; we’ll have some kid-friendly activities and foods, and we’d love to spend time with them.
Food & Drink:
Come hungry! We’ll be serving a variety of appetizers and a family-style smorgasbord with tuna, steak, and vegetarian options. And we’ll have signature cocktails and mocktails, along with a hosted full bar to choose from.
Connection:
The evening won’t be highly structured, but we will have AV for a slide show and a couple get-to-know-you activities to help us get acquainted for the celebratory weekend!
