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!

As a wedding DJ I have been to many venues and for a city venue this is a special one with the view of the canal, boats and trains. You are on the edge of the waterway and the windows do the view justice. Plenty of space for tables and a dance floor with another section that flows well into the space. The bar and esthetics are well thought out and the staff is friendly. The patio is perfect for an outdoor ceremony If you are having guest come visit Seattle, this is as Seattle as it gets. You get to see boats and trains go by without the noise. And it is close to parks and bars for an after party. DJ Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs www.grooveonhydsestreet.com

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.

What Makes Washington Wedding Venues Uniquely Special?

Evergreen Gardens in Ferndale gives you multiple garden spaces and a covered pavilion that handles Washington's unpredictable weather without sacrificing beauty.

You'll find the perfect balance of practicality and atmosphere no matter what style speaks to you.

How Much Do Washington Wedding Venues Typically Cost?

Wedding venues in Washington average $6,399 which represents about 14% of your total wedding budget. That's actually below the national average of $6,500-$12,000 or 25% of total costs so you're getting better value here than in many other states. Most couples pay between $5,800 on the lower end to around $7,000 for premium locations depending on what features and services you need.

What Seasonal Factors Should Influence Your Washington Venue Choice?

August is peak inquiry time for Washington weddings and books up fast. Western Washington venues typically incorporate elegant indoor spaces with seamless transitions to outdoor areas giving you weather flexibility. Eastern Washington benefits from significantly more sunshine days between May-September making outdoor ceremonies more reliable. Mountain venues require snow contingency planning from November-April. The season you choose will dramatically impact both the look and logistics of your celebration.

How Can Washington Venues Balance Beauty with Practical Needs?

When selecting your Washington venue consider both its Instagram-worthy appeal and how it handles the nuts and bolts of your big day.
