  Hands On Children's Museum is a 28,000-square-foot museum in Olympia, Washington, with a half-acre Outdoor Discovery Center and views of the East Bay waterfront. The LEED- and Green Globes-certified building holds more than 150 hands-on exhibits, giving private events a playful, whimsical backdrop that's a departure from a typical ballroom or hotel venue. The museum hosts weddings, corporate meetings and receptions, birthday and anniversary parties, holiday parties, memorial services, fundraisers, family reunions, and school dances. Wedding couples can hold their ceremony outdoors and their reception inside, with guests free to explore the galleries and dance to a live band. A dedicated event coordinator plans each event, and the building offers kitchen facilities throughout (refrigerator, freezer, stove and oven, high-temperature dishwasher, and an industrial cooler), ADA-accessible ramps and a centrally located elevator, and video screens that can display slideshows or presentations. For birthday parties, the museum offers daytime party packages for small or large groups as well as private after-hours parties for up to 80 guests, with full access to the museum galleries and, for an additional fee, the Outdoor Discovery Center.

  Falling Water Gardens is a garden wedding and event venue set just beyond downtown Monroe, Washington, a short drive from Seattle, Woodinville, and Bellevue. The property grew out of Falling Water Designs, an award-winning landscape design and build company that has created gardens and water features across the Puget Sound since 2000, and its grounds double as a destination garden center and aquatic nursery. The setting is defined by water and greenery. A network of koi and goldfish ponds, a 200-foot garden stream, a formal sunken garden, and a labyrinth wind through display gardens and groomed lawns. Couples can choose among four distinct ceremony locations: the sunken garden with its tent and dance floor, the upper lawn framed by an archway and footbridge, the intimate labyrinth ringed by rock walls, and the tree-lined grotto, which seats up to 200 guests. Weddings are booked as full-day, all-inclusive rentals, with the property available from morning through late evening and tables and chairs included, suiting celebrations of up to 200 guests.

  Useless Bay Golf & Country Club sits on Whidbey Island in Langley, Washington, where the course unfolds across two distinct sides, each with its own mountain and territorial views. The greens are undulating, meticulously manicured, and playable year-round. No round feels quite the same twice. From the clubhouse, the dining room and Clubhouse bar look out over the fairways, often catching the sunset. The club's recreation extends well past golf. A remodeled pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a bocce ball court round out the grounds, alongside a year-round calendar of concerts, wine tastings, and cooking classes. For weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, reunions, company parties, and fundraisers, Useless Bay's banquet facilities extend indoors and outdoors, set against those same serene views. Up to 200 guests can be accommodated, with full-service waitstaff, furnishings and linens, plated or buffet dining, a full bar, a dance floor, and microphone and sound equipment. Catering is available to members and non-members alike.

  • 1 space at this venue

  Walking up to the Marysville Opera House, guests find a two-story historic building on Third Street, with a private garden courtyard out front that gives the venue an outdoor space of its own. Inside, the building keeps its original character: a chandelier-lit ballroom beneath a classical tin pressed ceiling, with a vintage balcony overlooking the main floor. The ballroom, mezzanine, and balcony together hold up to 240 guests, with roughly 100 to 150 seated comfortably across the two levels, or as many as 200 in theater-style seating without tables. A stage with its own dressing room supports the live music, tribute shows, and community performances that fill the Opera House calendar, while a separate get-ready cottage gives wedding parties a private space to prepare before the ceremony. Renters bring their own caterer, DJ, and photographer, drawing on the venue's caterer kitchen, bar service area, and concession stand as needed. Extra services such as house A/V, effect and colored theater lighting, a podium, linens, and table-and-chair setup can be added, and the main floor is ADA accessible with easy access off I-5.
