You got engaged and are now having a hard time trying to decide where in the PNW you should get married, right? As an elopement and wedding photographer who grew up there, here are my top 5 Washington Wedding Venues.
CAPE HORN ESTATES
This venue is 25 minutes from Vancouver in the Columbia Gorge near Portland.
It has panoramic views of the Columbia Gorge mountains and is the perfect place for a PNW Wedding in the summer. This venue offers indoor and outdoor event options catering to a huge 300-person event capacity.
The owners of the venue are also the local caterers to the venue. They have been in the restaurant industry for over 19 years. They own a restaurant called Hoda’s Restaurant and have catered thousands of events.
THE CORSON BUILDING
This wedding venue is my absolute favorite wedding venue in Washington.
The design of the building gives off a romantic, Italian, Tuscany feel. With green ivy hanging up and down the walls it gives it almost a greenhouse feel.
It is perfect for a more intimate wedding feel and smaller gatherings in West Seattle.
Corson Building has the most beautiful, picture-perfect garden and a gorgeous stone design on the front. There are endless picture places and it is fully decorated with hanging lights in the outside dining area. This gives the dining area a warm, cozy feel.
SODO PARK WASHINGTON WEDDING VENUE
Sodo Park Wedding Venue is in Sodo Park, Downtown Seattle.
This wedding venue is more on the industrial side of wedding design. It has features like high ceilings, romantic lighting, exposed brick walls, and rustic piping.
It is located right in Downtown Seattle which makes it easy for people to get to. There are so many urban locations to shoot around the venue for bride and groom portraits.
I personally love capturing weddings in industrial spaces because the lighting always bounces around perfectly!
COURTHOUSE SQUARE
The Court House Square is such a rad and unique building that has just been renovated.
It has all the charm of an old historical building with multiple areas for event space. Just over the next street, there is a beautiful view overlooking the waterfront and downtown Tacoma which is STUNNING.
There is so much to offer with this place with multiple views and picturesque places.
LORD HILL FARMS
Lord Hills Farms has endless space for events! It has a two-story building with a huge outdoor lawn area overlooking the Cascade Mountain Range. It is located in the Snohomish area and this wedding venue has everything you can think of all in one space. The space offers a capacity of up to 450-700 guests.
If it rains, you can have your ceremony inside, in the summer, you can have your wedding outside, etc.
They offer a full catering service right at the venue.
There are so many different types of wedding venues in Washington which make it hard to decide! I hope my list of these top 5 Washington wedding venues gives you more of a direction for ideas.
