Dayna and Mallory at Woodland Gardens Event Venue were wonderful to work with. Their property on Vashon Island is beautiful and peaceful. Our wedding there felt effortless as we moved through the different spaces from ceremony to reception.

We LOVED our wedding at IslandWood! I worked on the events team at IslandWood from 2019-2021, before shifting careers completely. I always loved to work the weddings, and imagined that my dream wedding would be there one day. I am so so happy that I was able to make that dream come true!! IslandWood goes above and beyond to make the guests' and bride & groom's experiences absolutely perfect! I personally already knew the food would taste amazing, as I used to always eat the leftovers when I worked there. But eating food from a menu that my husband and I got to custom design with Jim was truly an unforgettable experience. All of the guests loved the food, and Jim and his team tackle every request that you throw their way! My husband is Dominican, and Jim made sure that the Dominican food he made was authentic and delicious. At one point, my husband's aunts asked whether a Dominican was working in the kitchen! Moreover, Erica, our event planner, went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect weekend! IslandWood is a magical place, and your wedding will be magical if you choose to have it there. Yes, it is pricey, but the experiences that you, your family, and your friends will leave with are truly invaluable!

We picked this venue because of the beautiful views all around. Despite it being an August wedding, it rained throughout our rehearsal and leading up to our ceremony. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day would be perfect, no matter the weather! They made set up seamless and gave ideas on how to organize things (super helpful to a bride who’s already making 100 decisions) It rained until an hour before our ceremony, our guests commented how the staff was wiping down benches to make sure seating was dry. It was great!! The bonfire was perfect because it was a chilly evening and made for great pictures. This venue is naturally beautiful, lots of spots for organic pictures. We were the first couple to use the big tent, great timing. The tent was huge and easily fit around 120 people, the lights strung throughout it are a nice touch! We brought an LED sign and Pat was kind enough to put on a wood slab post, making it much cuter! Another highlight was we were able to include our dog child in our special day. She was able to stay with us the entire weekend and we loved being able to include her. Everyone was just so kind and helpful. We’re so happy we picked this place. I recommend this to anyone and everyone, we cant say enough good things about it!

We had our wedding at The Barn at Trinity Tree Farm and were thrilled with our experience. The venue coordinator was very helpful throughout the planning process, and various open houses made planning easier. The venue itself is serene and beautiful with both indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony and reception. Our guests loved that they could play lawn games outside, stroll through the trees, or dance the night away inside! The day of our wedding, the onsite catering team made everything run so smoothly and really went above and beyond in helping to set up and tear down. They helped ensure that my husband and I could just focus on enjoying our special day. I would highly recommend The Barn at Trinity Tree Farm, I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day!

Getting married at Camp Parsons was great. Josh Cunningham, the camp director, went above and beyond to help us with our special day. Josh answered any and all questions, answering with the most friendly, helpful attitude. The camp is situated in a private and gorgeous area, right on the bay. If you/guest love camping this is a great place to rent out for a long weekend wedding. We rented out the whole camp Friday-Sunday afternoon and our guests had a blast. Because the camp is nestled between forest and ocean it afforded us a lot of opportunities for amazing pictures. The health lodge was perfect for getting ready and for us (bride and groom) to stay in the night of the wedding. All in all, the venue was affordable, had everything we needed for a successful wedding and we will forever have great memories of our marriage.

My wife and I got married at this venue in April 2024! Molly was absolutely amazing and helped us coordinate a lot of things for our wedding, including chair rentals (which we upgraded), decor/linens, and seating arrangements. She was professional, communicative, and worked well with our other vendors! Compared to other venues, we felt The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge was priced well. The only minor hiccup for us was having our salads under-dressed during dinner; but overall, the service was great! And our guests loved the stunning views at the club! It's an absolutely beautiful venue!
