“We got married aboard the MV Skansonia on July 31, and we can't say enough good things about Landmark Event Co. Just five weeks before our wedding, the boat took on water, and the way this team handled it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, Trevor and Emilie were wonderful: communicative, honest, and genuinely fighting for us the entire time. They kept us updated at every step, lined up backup options so we were never left scrambling, and ultimately delivered the wedding we had dreamed of, on the venue we fell in love with. The venue itself is amazing and perfect. There's nothing like being on the water on Lake Union. The setting is intimate and magical, the bar is huge, and the dance floor is great. Our guests are still raving about it. Having the catering, flowers, and linens all through them made everything so easy. One team, one point of contact, and every detail handled beautifully. We also highly recommend using them as your day of coordinator. It kept everything seamless and let us actually enjoy our wedding day. If you're considering this venue or this team, don't hesitate. They earned every one of these five stars and then some.”

“I've photographed weddings at a lot of beautiful venues over the years, but Froggsong Gardens is genuinely one of my favorites. The gardens are incredible. You can tell how much care goes into maintaining this place. Every little pathway leads to something different, and the variety of flowers, plants, and trees is pretty remarkable. As a photographer, I felt a little spoiled and frankly, I get bit overwhelmed on what to photograph because there is so much to work iwith. There were so many beautiful spots for portraits that I could have happily spent the entire day exploring with my couples. I also love how intimate the ceremony space feels, surrounded by all that greenery and color. It's beautiful without trying too hard, which is part of what makes it so special. I've been photographing weddings for two decades, and I don't say this lightly: Froggsong Gardens is one of the most beautiful wedding venues I've photographed. If you're thinking about getting married here, I'd absolutely encourage you to visit and see it for yourself.”
