As one of the lead wedding planners with Agape Events and beyond, I have had the pleasure of working at many beautiful venues -- yet Suncadia Resort continues to stand out as one of the most breathtaking destinations in Washington. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping mountain views and serene natural landscape set the perfect one for any unforgettable celebration. It's the kind of scenery that instantly elevates a wedding day/weeding into something truly magical. Along with the impeccable view, the culinary experience at Suncadia resort (Main lodge & at the Inn) is truly exceptional. The food is consistently delicious, thoughtfully presented, and always a guest AND vendor favorite. The cocktails and mocktails are just as impressive-- crafted with care and love, beautifully balanced and perfect for elevating any celebration. I'm sure your guests will rave about every single sip and every single bite. But what truly sets Suncadia apart is the staff. From valet, to front desk, to serve ** applause all around **. The level of professionalism, warmth, and dedication they bring makes every event seamless and stress-free. I want to give a special shoutout to Jennifer and Courtney, whose excellence shines through in every detail. Their communication, attentiveness, and genuine care for our couples AND vendors make them an absolute joy to work with. They embody what it means to go above and beyond. Suncadia Resorts is more than just a venue, it's a full experience, backed by a team that feels true partners in creating unforgettable wedding days. It's always an honor to work here, and I look forward to many more celebrations together.

Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort was the perfect venue for our PNW wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, consistent, and transparent. We mainly worked with Jena and Kevin throughout the planning process and they were both phenomenal. Answered all of our questions, always jumped on a call if we requested, and accommodated any special requests. Throughout the weekend, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring every detail was taken care of to make our special day go smoothly. The venue itself is an amazing space - the stunning mountain and river views provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and reception. We loved that all of our guests could comfortably stay on-site, and there were so many activities for them to enjoy, like the spa, pool, hiking trails, and organic garden. It's less than 10 minutes to downtown Leavenworth, next door to a horseback riding stable, and less than 3 minutes from a golf course. Sleeping Lady truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Highly recommend to anyone who loves the PNW and wants to share it with their loved ones!!!

Whistlin’ Jacks made our wedding so easy. You can truly customize your wedding to be uniquely yours by going with them. Our wedding has people coming from nearby and out of state. We loved the fact that it’s located in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, on the gorgeous Naches River and in one of our favorite forests of all time. For us, it was the destination without the cost. Us and our guests made amazing memories before, during, and after the wedding. We used their cabins and lodge rooms for our guests stay on site with us. In the evening we sat around a campfire before enjoying a soak in the hot tubs. The wedding day started with decorating the tent and aisle with flowers. Bridal parties went off to get ready and then we had our first look. We had it on the backside of our cabin along the river, not only was it pretty but it was super private and intimate. We used the river and forest as the backdrop for the ceremony. It was a memorable aisle to walk down, and the pictures couldn’t have turned out better. Whistlin’ Jacks can cater or bar tend, but we opted to hire in a taco truck. We filled a canoe with ice and beverages. Whistlin’ Jacks refilled the ice for us as needed to keep the guests happy. It got a little chilly in the evening so they brought down a propane heater. Whistlin’ Jacks was extremely easy to coordinate with, and was very thoughtful to details. They even blocked off the road so no one could interrupt the ceremony.

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!
