We got married at Mike's Beach Resort in 2019, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The location is breathtaking, with beautiful waterfront views and a peaceful vibe that made our entire weekend feel magical. Our guests loved staying in the cozy cabins, which were comfortable and had everything they needed. It was so nice to have everyone close by for the whole weekend. Plus, we were thrilled that the resort is pet-friendly—it meant we could include our dog in our special day, which made it even more memorable. The ceremony by the water was absolutely stunning, and the natural beauty of the resort added such a special touch to everything. It was exactly the kind of relaxed and beautiful celebration we had hoped for. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers gorgeous scenery, cozy accommodations, and a welcoming atmosphere (for both people and pets!), I can’t recommend Mike's Beach Resort enough. It’s a place we’ll always cherish!

We would recommend the Virginia V to anyone who is looking for a unique, beautiful, and intimate venue! We had a 47-person wedding with about 10-15 volunteers working on the Virginia and 5 other vendors - that was a very comfortable size party for the ship. Alicia from the Virginia Foundation was extremely communicative, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and kind throughout our planning process. She was kind enough to give us multiple opportunities to come aboard the Virginia to see the spaces in person prior to the wedding. She worked closely with our day-of-coordinator to make sure the space was set up correctly. There are some limitations to the Virginia - smaller kitchen space, no open flames, no Command hooks/nails, not ADA compliant, and no open flame - however none of these were issues for us and our vendors were able to work around all of them. Our ceremony took place on Lake Union with the Space Needle in the background - Captain Doug navigated us deftly through the clusters of paddleboarders, kayakers, and speedboats. Our guests loved being on a dinner cruise during the wedding (with incredible Lake Washington and Mount Rainier views) and the crew was kind enough to allow some of our guests to come observe in the engine room while we were out. Overall, the Alicia and the team behind the Virginia V are fantastic to work with and the ship itself is a truly magical place to have your wedding. We highly recommend it!

Ray's was recommended by a friend of a friend and are so pleased with how everything turned out! We did not know where to begin with our planning and had the help of Ray's staff to guide us through all the details leading up to our wedding and reception. What helped us was the promptness in answering our questions and quickly shifting gears as we got closer to our wedding. The food options are incredible and loved that we did not have to stress about additional vendors for our big day! The day of, Peter was so helpful and quick to solve any problem that came up. Ray's offers the best backdrop for photos and taking in the beauty of Puget Sound! I would also add, this experience was worth every penny!

Have your wedding here! If you like the water, the outdoors, the beach, chill people and avoiding the wedding industrial complex, this is the place for you. We looked at so many venues, and none came close to this place. Guemes Island is easily accessible with a short ferry ride, yet you feel far away from the city. It's surrounded by woods and right on the beach! The resort has a bunch of cabins that are all included in the rental. Our friends and family stayed the whole weekend. There are plenty of Airbnb's on the island if you have more people than they can hold. They were super helpful every step of the way. The staff are all so nice and clearly care about the place they are working at. It's also owned by locals, which is awesome. We spent months looking at venues, toured a bunch of them, and none had what we were looking for. Or their fee just to rent their ballroom for the afternoon was twice what you pay here for the entire resort all weekend! Your wedding is going to be awesome, why not enjoy it for multiple days? As soon as we arrived here, we knew this was the place. The staff was also super easy to work with and very helpful with anything we needed. They truly went above and beyond. Not only do you get all the cabins included so 90 people can stay all weekend, they have a sauna, wood fired hot tub (3 cabins have their own hot tub too), and plenty of room to grill, eat, and party. We rented a huge tent to have the reception in. They also have great relationships with vendors who made the day amazing and flow smoothly. There is a store at the resort, and another one on the island if you need anything. Anacortes is also a very short ferry ride away. The ferry was not an issue, the ride takes 5 minutes and it sails often. If you're used to the chaos of the state ferries, don't worry here. Our wedding was incredible, and Guemes Island Resort was a huge part of making that happen.

I've hosted two all day workshops at Oddfellow's Hall, and I will definitely use the space again. It's stunning, historic, right in town, and right over the water. Folks on Orcas tend to be low stress and easy to work with, and the Oddfellows Hall crew is no exception. It's a large space with an easy to plug into sound system and versatile lighting. There's ample street parking, and it's a 1-2 minute walk from the heart of Eastsound. There's a little used public dock and beach a 30 second walk down the road. There's also a commercial kitchen downstairs you can rent and use. I've had only wonderful experiences with this venue, as a two time renter and as a guest at many events!

The Canal was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the clean, modern design and the abundance of natural light from the large windows. The terrace overlooking the Ballard Locks provided a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The heat lamps were on and everyone stayed warm during our ceremony. Beyond the aesthetics, the staff at The Canal went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. They picked up our wedding cake, coordinated the set-up of the tables and chairs, and even provided candles for our centerpieces. Chef Paul is talented. He and his team prepared a delicious meal that we were able to enjoy without missing out on any of the festivities: they plated our food and it was ready for us when we sat down. As a one-stop-shop for both the venue and wedding planning, The Canal connected us with high-quality vendors and handled all the details so we could focus on celebrating our special day. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a creative, full-service option for their wedding.
