Touchdown Party: Vibrant Anniversary Celebration at UW Husky Stadium

Tally and Kirby held their wedding anniversary party at the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium a year to the day from when they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Seattle courthouse. For the unforgettable celebration, guests were greeted with valet service and guided down a neon tunnel to the stadium’s exterior viewing deck, where they sipped on Coors Light and pineapple margaritas while a trio played acoustic ’90s hip-hop hits.

Kristin Banta Events produced an aesthetic that was coastal meets Restoration Hardware meets equestrian, transforming the space into a lounge with cream-colored upholstered sofas, slipper chairs, cognac-hued leather stools, wooden tables and area rugs. An oversized bar was a stunning focal point, and custom napkins and bar menus with cognac leather and horse-bit buckles added charm.

Seattle dance band Hit Explosion continued the entertainment and was later followed by a silent disco to keep the dance party going. Guests enjoyed fare at taco and pizza stations, noshed on passed hors d’oeuvres and indulged at a late-night custom ice cream sandwich station. For more fun, an interactive photo op at the far end of the deck invited attendees to capture moments throughout the night.

After hours of dancing, eating and celebrating, guests made their way back through the neon-lit tunnel, now illuminated in rainbow colors, and were met with a candy table and dog treat station—a sweet send-off for guests and their furry friends. Just as the night was ending, another surprise appeared in the form of a hot dog food truck, a final delight in a memorable evening.
