    The scenery, especially the Mount Baker views - was absolutely stunning and felt magical without needing much extra décor. We loved that the property offered multiple beautiful options for our ceremony, which gave us so much flexibility. The get-ready cottage was a really nice touch and made the day feel relaxed and seamless. We had a unique scenario where we got married one month and held our reception later in the year - and the team was incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made planning so much less stressful. It’s beautiful in any season, whether it’s snowy and cold or warm and sunny. For the value, the beauty, and freedom this venue offers is hard to beat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.
