Fremont Abbey was such a beautiful place to hold our wedding, it was even prettier than we expected. The ambience is beautiful, there are plentiful spaces for getting ready and storing items, and the people are so friendly and accommodating. Of course, they're incredibly busy so sometimes it takes awhile to hear back, but they were wonderful to work with.

Cathedral 

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Up to 80 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,200

We believe that people see the problems our world faces and have the desire to help, but often don’t know where to start. So we started Cathedral with one goal in mind — to build something that’s the sole purpose of existing was to make this world of ours a more just and beautiful place. Building things that matter takes time. Cathedrals took generations to build — those who began the work didn’t see its completion. The architect who drew up the plans would never see their spires rise. The mason laying the bricks would never stand under their cover.

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.
