Emerald Forest Theater in Redmond
Who doesn’t want to get married in a magic tree fort?!? This place is one of a kind – with a giant treehouse with netted lounging areas, zipline, huts, and a movie theater screen, this Redmond oasis is perfect for small weddings (keep in mind, it’s quite a hike back to the space itself on uneven ground, so this is not recommended if anyone has mobility issues).
Shangri-La on the Green in Enumclaw
This venue is a hidden gem, and one of those that is built for people who love to camp in the PNW – camping on site is even allowed! Be aware that the property is natural, so lots of mud and puddles on those rainy days. The property has river access, a waterfall, a huge open meadow and forests.

Kitsap Memorial in Poulsbo
This is another camper-friendly venue, although you can also rent one of the on site cabins. This venue tends to book out one year in advance or more (as in, they open the books at the one year date for the following year), so pre-planning is required.

This resort has options for both larger events and smaller intimate elopements. The views are unbeatable, even in winter. There are plenty of photo ops surrounding, especially if you’re willing to go on a photo adventure with us!

Add another much unknown venue to the list – Shadow Mountain quickly became one of our faves at a wedding a few years back.

NW Trek in Eatonville
If you’ve ever been to NW Trek, you’ll know it’s got PNW written all over it. The bonus – it actually features 3 different venues for your wedding. You can choose lake-side, picnic pavillion style, or indoors at the cafe.

Golden Gardens Bathhouse in Seattle
This building is a great place to host both your wedding ceremony & reception, or just your reception. You can choose to get married inside the brick building or outside in the meadow, and your reception is set up inside the building. The brick building has a classic look with high windows that face the beach. This is still a public park, so just know that not everything will be reserved only for you, and ceremonies on the beach are not allowed.

MV Skansonia in Seattle
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting married on a boat, this is the venue for you! This boat is permanently anchored in Seattle, with a pristine view of the Space Needle on clear days. You’ll need to get ready off-site, as the rental time for this venue is shorter – but you’ll want to anyways, as you’ll likely take most of your photos off the boat. The interior of the boat is white and bright, and it features a built in bar area and plenty of dancing space for a small to medium wedding.
Port Gamble Weddings in Kingston
This wedding venue sort of feels like you rent an entire town. The reception area is a waterfront structure, and in the summer it spills out into a large white tented area.

Most ceremonies happen in the blue steepled church in town, which has blue and white interior and a bell the couple can ring after they say their vows. You’ll want to rent a local airbnb or vrbo to get ready in, as there really is no space to do so on site.

Thornewood Castle in Lakewood
Thornewood Castle has a famous history, being the mansion used in Rose Red. It’s now more commonly a wedding venue and overnight accommodations.

Rainier Chapter House in Seattle

The downstairs has a smaller ceremony space and a designated buffet area. The upstairs area is large and spacious, and can hold a ceremony but is perfectly suited for a reception and dance floor.
5. ESTATE WEDDING VENUES
Gray Bridge Event Venue in Sultan
This is another one of those hidden gem venues. This estate is set back in a neighborhood in Sultan and has ample parking. There are horses on your right as you walk up to the reception tent. The tent sits over a permanent paved patio, and has plenty of space for a large event (when allowed). Next to it is the designated ceremony space with wood benches and white rock aisleway … and it backs up to a pond with a fountain.
As you wander from the reception tent towards the designated dance floor and party area, you’ll pass a permanent bar structure, the fire pit for s’mores, and then a beautiful bridge crossing the pond, with more fountains on either side. The dance floor is lit with intelligent lighting, set up to make your photographer’s job easier all night long.

Olympic View Estates in Lake Stevens
OVE is located in a residential area in Lake Stevens but has an incredible view and a set up that makes you feel like you’re not close to other people. Their entire space is set up to be a fully permanent venue. They have parking in the back with gardens between, a covered reception space and building for food and dancing, a beautiful designated ceremony space (see below), a koi pond (which mostly remains covered), and separate getting ready areas all on site.
Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup
This estate is filled with impeccably manicured hedges that give it a majestic feel, it’s ever popular lit LOVE wall, a designated ceremony space, pond, and lots and LOTS of photo options. There is a getting ready house on site, but the interior space is small. This would be the ideal event space for an outdoor wedding and reception, as the sprawling lawns give you plenty of room for tables and yard games alike.
Black Diamond Gardens in Black Diamond
To us, there are two things that set this venue apart: the giant greenhouse space for receptions, and the private pond with boat. Of course, we can’t help but mention the designated ceremony site with wood wall, and the dance floor area that sits next to a fire pit. There are also separate getting ready spaces on site (the guys get a motorhome)… but the greenhouse really sells it all. There is so much room, and it’s so bright and light and beautiful.
Big Wood Lodge in Mt Vernon
Ok, this isn’t *technically* a venue, but they have had small weddings on their property before, and MAYBE if you have a small one and ask nice, you’ll be able to. Where else would you find a private pond with waterfall and sandy beach with palm trees in Washington state?!? Even if you don’t have your wedding here, if you’re getting married near Mt. Vernon, book this place to get ready!
Parties on the Terrace in Redmond

There are gardens, a pond, trees, at least 5 different ceremony sites and multiple reception locations including the Lodge itself. There is getting ready space on site, and a full kitchen in the Lodge.
Trinity Tree Farm Lodge in Issaquah
Out of the two Trinity Tree Farm properties, the Lodge is our favorite. The white lodge building is perfect for indoor receptions, and the getting ready space is large and spacious for both parties. There is a permanent bar structure and a prep kitchen, as well as a beautiful lawn that is ideal for an outdoor ceremony with trees in the background. There is also a glass-walled firepit in between the main house and the Lodge building for gathering.
Mountain Springs Lodge in Leavenworth
We’ve only worked at Mountain Springs in the winter, so we can’t speak to the summer experience, but… this venue is stunning. Surrounded by trees, a pond on site, a horse-drawn carriage, two separate Lodge buildings, delicious food, and an awesome serving staff, this is definitely a venue built for a party & an awesome experience. It’s also close to town, so you can enjoy the weekend here and sight-see (or wine-taste), too.

Winding Path Gardens in Arlington
This venue has the most floral on site out of almost every venue on this list. They mean it when they say Winding Path too – there is a giant maze of flowers and hedges leading to a patio with a fountain at the center. There are many other beautiful spots on the property including the permanent ceremony site, sunflower field, and the covered reception space. They also have tiny houses on site for getting ready.
Pine Creek Farms & Nursery in Monroe

The have manicured lawns, a rose garden and koi pond, life-size chess set and tiny greenhouses at getting ready spaces, too.
Ashe & Alder in Arlington
This venue feels more like it’s located in Darrington/Oso than Arlington, and it’s like stepping into Montana. This venue is entirely outdoors. The property is immense, and the ceremony site has a mountain backdrop. The reception site sits under the trees. There is a field with long grass, and just a short jaunt down the road, there is a second home you can rent and that property is perfect for wedding party and couple photos with the mountain, a white barn house and brown outbuilding as backdrops.

This venue is another one of the most popular in Snohomish.

Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle
Seattle Art Museum owns the Olympic Sculpture Park, and this is an indoor/outdoor venue. This is still part of a public park, so be aware of that when booking. There is space for ceremony inside or out, and reception space as well. The white walls and floor-to-ceiling windows of the building can make for an interesting backdrop for photos and your reception or ceremony. The park is a great spot for photos and unique views.
Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle
Many are familiar with the rooftop of Bell Harbor ICC, as it’s an open public space. The rooftop ceremony is only an option in a couple of their packages. There are beautiful bright and windowed spaces for your reception, and they offer a lot of inclusions in their packages.
Metropolist in Seattle
The bright studio paired with wood floors, 25ft vaulted ceilings, open kitchen and movable bar is a fantastically urban backdrop for a city wedding. A blank canvas type of space, you can customize this wedding venue to your heart’s content.

** Kate has only photographed here as a second shooter for another photographer **
Imperial Lake Union in Seattle
LUC is a short-length wedding venue rental (evenings only) as this is a functional restaurant. This is another one of those venues that you’ll want to book somewhere off-site to get ready, although they do have private space for you to hang out in before the festivities… down a tunnel-like secret passageway under the restaurant (where you’ll get to sign your name after your ceremony). The space is filled with rich, deep tones, and restaurant style booth seating, a dedicated dance floor and stage (where your ceremony happens). It’s the perfect venue for an elegant party … and don’t forget to head outside for a photo under the iconic LUC neon sign.
Hangar 30 Magnuson Park in Seattle
Magnuson Park is a wonderful garden in downtown Seattle. The park has a circular amphitheater that is perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Then, it’s a short walk back over the Hangar 30. Hangar 30 is an enormous space – enough that you may want to consider drapery to make the space feel more intimate. There is plenty of space for furniture to create lounge setups and also have tables for even the larger weddings. Because of the industrial rawness of the space, up-lighting and decor can create a totally different look for your wedding.

This indoor space is split between two rooms – one is street facing and holds a dedicated bar structure and lounge area, and the other is a high-ceiling up-scale banquet hall vibe. There are shelves on 2 walls housing candles and large permanent table structures perfect for buffet space. There is plenty of room in the alleyway next to the venue for dinner or dessert food trucks. This space is best used as a reception site, so it would be a great option if you’re holding your ceremony elsewhere.
Great Hall at Green Lake in Seattle
This ballroom style venue is located near Green Lake (which is a great spot for photos, btw), and is basically a giant blank canvas. It has vaulted ceilings, lots of windows, and light colored walls. Aside from a fireplace in the side room, there is very little that has any discernable style in the venue – which is fantastic if you want to create any vision that you can dream up.
9. WINERY OR DISTILLERY WEDDING VENUES
Sage Cliffe Resort in Quincy
The tree-lined road to the venue is one of my favorite parts about this property. They have several ceremony site options, including one by a quiet pond.

Woodinville Whiskey/Hollywood Tavern in Woodinville
Woodinville Whiskey/Hollywood Tavern is situated among some of the most popular wineries in Woodinville. This venue is perfect for smaller weddings.

10. GOLF COURSE WEDDING VENUES

Shuksan Golf Club in Bellingham
This golf course has an incredible view of Mt Shuksan from it’s ceremony site. The clubhouse is the reception area, with space for it to expand out onto the deck. This is a venue that you’d need to book an outside location to get ready in, as the waiting area on site is very small. Your access to the golf course grounds for photos is limited to just the couple and must be guided by a staff member, and you get only a handful of locations. Family and wedding party photos may be taken up at the clubhouse.
