“DeeDee is an incredible owner - providing the best service and advice throughout not only your wedding day, but planning as well! We loved that Sadie Lake had such a large inventory of decor - we saved hundreds here! The bridal suite with beautiful natural light, large and accommodating groom’s suite, and the prep kitchen was a huge bonus. Now let’s talk about the grounds - DeeDee has created a beautiful venue. When we showed up for our tour, she was in gardening gloves and boots - we knew that she kept this place immaculate! Everything on the 18 acres is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for wedding photos! The barn is a beautiful backdrop, the lake is adorable, and the lush green grounds are to die for. The tent and barn provide great alternates for poor weather as well (we didn’t need it, but we were glad to have a backup, knowing Washington). Our guests absolutely loved partying it up at Sadie Lake! Deedee is the kindest vendor, and truly cares for you as a couple and the important part of your wedding day; that you love each other and are getting married!! We highly recommend Sadie Lake!

“Odd Fellows was a total dream for our wedding reception: the team was responsive, thoughtful, and caring (and filled with recommendations for local vendors); the space comes with magical lighting fixtures with the perfect touch of whimsy; plenty of room for dancing and catering and a full band on the clever corner stage; a stunning view of the water surrounding Indian Island amidst the Madrona trees. Most of our guests all stayed a few blocks away right in town and could walk home within 10 minutes. Because we used all local vendors, and everyone knows and loves Odd Fellows, coordination was a breeze. Our whole experience felt like a family operation because, here, community is clearly the premium value. We highly recommend Odd Fellows for a wedding, wedding reception, or any event meant to be filled with love--the space both holds and amplifies it!”

“I cannot recommend Roche Harbor Resort more for your wedding! The space is gorgeous and incredibly flexible. We had our ceremony in the garden, but there's a chapel for rain so there's no need to worry about what you're going to do in the event of it. The patio and reception pavilion were really open (so thrilled to have found a venue with an indoor-outdoor reception space), but still felt really intimate. Their team were so friendly, kind, patient, accommodating, and creative. Seriously, I could not have pulled this off without them. The help they gave me when planning (such as weighing in on signature cocktails, talking through menus, and coordinating linens) was invaluable. You don't have to worry about knowing all the little things for the venue because they are going to know them already. So many of my guests did not use the block code, but they still managed to provide me with a list of everyone. They got us exactly the kind of rooms we needed (we did a lot of DIY decor and brought our pets so we needed a room with space) and the condos were a really lovely home base for our group. And they were able to make changes and provide us with pack n plays and have everything ready for us early when we got in. Which we did not expect, but were so thankful for! They really work with you and your vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page and the day-of really shows that. The service was SO seamless and impeccable. They sent a golf cart about 6 times because I was running late on my schedule without complaint (I am so sorry about that, y'all!) They let me wait in the lobby while we setup the first look. They held me up and strapped my heels on once I got to the garden. They brought me a plate of appetizers and a cocktail as soon as we walked to the patio and then for the rest of the night I never even had a chance to think about needing something. Someone always beat me to it. I spent no time at all coordinating once the event got going, which is such a rare thing for events in general let alone weddings. The staff knows exactly what they're doing. The signature drinks were spectacular, I wish I was drinking a strawberry rhubarb margarita right now. The restaurant staff is incredible, the front desk crew, baristas, shop cashiers, housekeeping are all the best. The bartender and drivers were incredible troopers who were somehow more energetic than me by the end of the night. There is too much to mention that I can never list it all or thank everyone enough! I will always think of here for any event in future, since the wedding was a one time thing. haha TL;DR: Unbelievable value and incredible wedding experience. Book here.”
