We're Getting Married

After years of growing together, laughing together, traveling, changing, and choosing each other over and over again, we're so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most.

We can't wait to have you with us.

Our Story

We met in Seattle on a rainy Thursday night through mutual friends and somehow ended up talking until the restaurant closed.

What started as coffee dates, long drives, and Sunday mornings together slowly became a life we couldn't imagine without each other.

Five years later, Mateo proposed during a weekend away on the coast, and Sofia said yes before he even finished asking.

Now we get to celebrate with all of you.

The reception space at The Edgewater Hotel

The reception is at The Edgewater, the hotel that sits right over Elliott Bay. We picked it for the huge windows and the wooden beams - it feels like an old lodge, but you're looking out at the water the whole night.

Dress Code

Think elevated, romantic, and comfortable enough to dance. Suits, dresses, jumpsuits, and evening separates are all welcome. We kindly ask guests to avoid wearing white, ivory, or cream.

A Note From Us

We know that traveling, taking time away from work, and simply showing up takes effort.

Having the people we love together in one place means more to us than we can explain.

Thank you for being part of our lives and for celebrating this moment with us.

With love,
Sofia & Mateo
