Hand-hewn beams from an early-1800s cabin still form the core of the Stone Cottage at Storybook Farm, a structure that predates the property's founding by more than a century. Moses Atwater and Amy Wilson were among the original settlers of the land in the early 1800s; Warren and Mary Barrett later established Storybook Farm in 1955, running a preschool and summer camp there from the early 1960s through the 1980s before Bryan and Lisa Lowrance took over the property in January 2020. Set minutes from Chapel Hill and Carrboro, North Carolina, the farm today pairs overnight cabin lodging with a dedicated outdoor event space: a covered picnic shelter and 32-by-20-foot stage inside a 27-by-72-foot pavilion, equipped with a stainless-steel prep station, brick furnace, and firepit. The space has hosted concerts, weddings, festivals, corporate conferences, and workshops, including ProgDay, described by the farm as the world's longest-running progressive rock festival. Four rental cabins on the property - Stone Cottage, Barrett Lodge, Warren's Landing, and Rick's Roost - offer additional lodging, with Warren's Landing occupying the site of the farm's former school cafeteria and classrooms.

Perched on a bluff above the Wenatchee Valley in Washington State, Ohme Gardens began in 1929 when Herman and Ruth Ohme set out to transform a barren, rock-strewn hillside into a series of alpine-inspired gardens. Over four decades of hand labor, the couple planted transplanted evergreens and hauled native stone from the Columbia River to build the pathways, pools, and waterfalls that still wind through the property. Since 1991 the Gardens have been publicly owned, and Chelan County now maintains them as a horticultural and recreational destination, open each year from April 15 through October 15. For weddings, Ohme Gardens supplies chairs and tables with set-up and take-down, white tablecloths, an arbor, a dance floor, string lighting, and a PA/sound system, letting couples arrange their own catering, music, and florals amid the gardens' cedar groves and panoramic Cascade views. The sunken and entrance lawns, both wheelchair accessible, can host evening weddings with receptions for up to 250 guests, or daytime ceremony-only gatherings for up to 85 guests, with two tented options available for cover in case of weather.

On Smokey Point Boulevard just off I-5 in Arlington, Washington, the Stilly Valley Center's main building was raised in the early 1970s by local seniors, volunteers, and donated labor after North Snohomish County residents organized the center in 1970 on a former motel site.

The Main Hall is the center's largest rental space, holding up to 250 guests for dining and events when its side rooms are included, making it suited to receptions and banquets that call for a single large gathering space.

Large patios in the front and back of the space increase the seating capacity from 171 to 258, making the Redhook Brewlab’s total outdoor patio space the largest in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Sea Cliff Gardens Bed & Breakfast sits atop a 130-foot cliff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Port Angeles, Washington, overlooking Vancouver Island and serving as a gateway to Olympic National Park. The Victorian-style inn was custom designed for its site, orienting its five guest suites toward sweeping ocean views.

Each of the five suites — Victoria's Repose, Napoleon's Retreat, Marie Antoinette's Boudoir, Ludwig's Chamber, and Maria Theresa's Suite — pairs antique European furnishings and original artwork with a private bath, gas fireplace, and ocean view.

Featuring one of the best views in the city, this unusual park is neatly sandwiched into a steep residential area and makes ingenious use of a "difficult" space. From the sloping hillside you have a great view of downtown, Lake Union, the I-5 freeway and Capitol Hill. The park is furnished with benches, a bike rack and a drinking fountain in case you want to stay and gaze a while. It's a great place to watch the July 4th fireworks. From the upper part of the park, you can walk down the steep, ivied hill - passing azaleas, rhododendrons, and more surprise views - to a patch of grass with a play area for kids and a pergola for parents. Plan on a visit to this one-of-a-kind oasis in the heart of the city next time you visit the Queen Anne neighborhood. The view even inspired a song

At the heart of Events at Sunset is the Main Hall, a vaulted-ceiling reception room with exposed wood beams, string lighting, and a fireplace at its center. Tall glass doors line one side of the hall, opening directly onto an outdoor patio with views of Rattlesnake Mountain, so weddings and receptions can move easily between the two settings over the course of an event. An archway off the hall leads into a smaller side room filled with natural light, and the open floor plan can be scaled down for intimate gatherings or opened fully to host up to 250 guests, with a dedicated dance floor for receptions. Located on the north end of Sunset Gardens in Richland, Washington, the 6,000-square-foot event center has hosted weddings, business meetings, banquets, and other celebrations since opening in 2009. Its event team, led by Event Center Manager Tiffany Loving and Event Coordinator Cassandra Standley, works alongside a roster of partner caterers — including Henry's, Tsunami Catering, CG Public House, Viera's Bakery, and Crumbl Cookie — and offers in-house projectors, microphones, and screens for meetings and presentations.
