Meridian Valley Country Club
24830 136th Ave SE, Kent, WA 98042, USA- Spaces for 100-275 Guests
- 1 Country Club
Meridian Valley Country Club opened its doors for the first time on July 1, 1967. Despite the fact that there was just a temporary clubhouse and only nine of the 18 holes were available for play on that Saturday morning, those who teed it up did so again and again. Despite the fact that the fairway grass was well on its way to reaching full maturity, the theme of the day was "Take No Divots" since all shots were needed to be taken from tees. The opening day regulation had no effect on the level of competitiveness on the first day. The second nine holes, as well as the permanent clubhouse, were dedicated in May 1968 with a similar amount of hoopla. Several substantial modifications have been made to the golf course throughout the years, including irrigation, drainage, and a large number of flowering trees and plants. The course is currently open all year round and plays "dry." Meridian Valley Country Club has been a gathering place for members and guests to commemorate life's most important occasions since 1967. Whatever your occasion may be, from weddings to anniversaries and birthdays to business meetings to auctions to family gatherings and reunions, every event organized at MVCC will be handled with outstanding care and attention to detail, enabling you to relax and enjoy yourself. Meridian Valley's staff is delighted to assist you in creating the style and feel you have envisioned for your event at Meridian Valley. Everything from formal plated meals to themed buffets will be presented in a unique manner in a tastefully designed setting that the entire group will love. Please allow us to extend our best wishes to you and your guests for a very amazing and unforgettable event.

Hidden Meadows
11805 Springhetti Rd, Snohomish, WA 98296, USA- Spaces for 350 Guests
- 2 Barns
- 2 Farms
Hidden Meadows is an artistically built facility that possesses features of the wonderful landscape that surrounds it. It is located in the calm and picturesque valley of Snohomish, Washington. We've been in business for 12 years and are always learning what our venue need to improve events. Every year, we strive to develop in both minor and significant ways. Not only is the facility attractively designed, with its lovely environment, pleasant walks, and calm atmosphere, but it also has a fascinating history. Tim and Tracy Stocker's children represent the farm's sixth generation of Stockers. When the dairy industry did not appear to be promising, the family began to cultivate sod, often known as turf, years ago. This business was a success, but it left the family with idle barns and undeveloped land. Hidden Meadows arose from the old barns that formerly housed hundreds of dairy cows to the unique events venue it is today, thanks to Tracy Stocker's architectural vision, the cooperation and support of family and friends, and countless hours given to building. The Hidden Meadows facility is certainly a magical change, demonstrating that its blend of country setting and expressive design is an ideal recipe for a superb event atmosphere.

Lopez Center for Community & Arts
204 Village Rd, Lopez Island, WA 98261, USA- Spaces for 196-200 Guests
- 1 Theater
- 1 Meeting Space
Set on land donated to the Lopez Island community in 1984, when Natalie Roush gave five acres in Lopez Village toward what would become a shared gathering place, the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts is owned and operated by the nonprofit Lopez Community Center Association, which formed in 1987 to carry the vision forward and, after years of fundraising that gained early momentum from seed funding provided by Andy Holland in 1994, opened the doors of its main facility to the community in October 1999. At the heart of the center is a multipurpose main hall, where a stage, hardwood floors, and a vintage Steinway piano support everything from theater and music productions to meetings, memorials, and fundraisers, while large sliding glass doors open the room to natural light and to the rolling lawn beyond. That lawn, together with a south-facing veranda and an outdoor pavilion built for the center's earliest seasonal concerts, gives weddings held here room to spread from an outdoor ceremony across the grounds into the hall for a reception seated at up to 200 place settings, a scale that has made the center known as the largest wedding venue on Lopez Island. A fully equipped kitchen, included with every rental, and technical packages ranging from a simple microphone and piano setup to full theatrical lighting and a live band system round out what the center can offer, all of it maintained by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees elected annually by the Lopez Island community whose gifts of land and labor built the place.

- 1 Outdoor
- 1 Event Space
Wine Valley Golf Club sits in the rolling hills of Walla Walla, Washington, in the shadow of the Blue Mountains — a stretch of eastern Washington that USA Today named one of the world's 10 best wine destinations in 2014. The Dan Hixson-designed course unfolds across that landscape on a grand scale, with holes offering multiple lines of play for golfers of any level. Just off the 9th hole, the Valley View Pavilion carries the same view into its events: a one-acre lawn overlooking the course pond, with the Blue Mountains as backdrop. The 62-by-70-foot pavilion seats up to 250 guests and is built with roll-up glass doors and open ceiling trusses that let it convert from an open-air lawn setting to a weather-protected indoor space in minutes, hosting everything from wedding ceremonies and receptions to tournament banquets, class reunions, and business meetings. Beyond the course, downtown Walla Walla adds tasting rooms, art galleries, and restaurants within reach for out-of-town guests.

Bhy Kracke Park
1215 5th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109, USA- Spaces for 150 Guests
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

The Moore Mansion
200 N Rd 34, Pasco, WA 99301, USA- Spaces for 450 Guests
- 1 Landmark
- 1 Outdoor
- 1 space at this venue
The Moore Mansion is best suited to weddings and other formal celebrations that call for a historic estate as a backdrop, with six private, gated acres along the Columbia River in Pasco, Washington available for the ceremony, reception, and photos in one place. Built by prominent northwest developer James A. Moore, the three-story neoclassical (Beaux Arts) mansion has been recently restored and is available for a limited number of weddings, receptions, family reunions, and quinceañeras. Ceremonies take place on the grounds before guests move to the 2,400-square-foot event pavilion over a checkerboard granite patio, or to the extra-large gazebo with dance floor lighting, for the reception. The bride prepares in a dressing room inside the main house while the groom readies in the carriage house, and toasts and bouquet tosses take place from the mansion's north patio. The property accommodates up to 450 guests for a reception dinner, and a 1963 Rolls-Royce is available for photos on site. The Moore Mansion is also one of the few venues in the area that allows live bands and mariachi for outdoor celebrations, with the pavilion equipped with a swamp cooler to keep guests comfortable.

The Carey Gardens
Snohomish, WA, USAThe Carey Gardens Wedding Venue and Event Center first opened its doors with a single, straightforward objective in mind... The goal here is to design a space that is both lovely and cozy, one that welcomes close friends, relatives, and acquaintances for the purpose of commemorating the significant moments of one's life. We believe that we have achieved the ideal combination of open space, tranquility, and charm that will make the experience of your guests nothing short of delightful. We make it a point to provide a diverse range of service packages, each of which is designed to make the process of organizing your large event significantly less stressful. Our former guests have informed us that the fact that other local venues did not offer the same level of individualized attention to their needs as we do at our wedding venue was the primary factor in their decision to reserve it for their big day. Our wedding venue services include the provision of tables, chairs, and linens; fire pits; wedding arches; decks for ceremonies at the water's edge; dance floors; LED bars; gazebos; flower beds; games to play outside; and more. The use of catering services is a fantastic way to impart a sense of individuality upon your special occasion. We are able to recommend local vendors who can fulfill all of your catering requirements, regardless of what those requirements may be.

Wild Ginger has occupied the corner of 3rd Avenue and Union Street in downtown Seattle, across from Benaroya Hall, since 2000, when founders Rick and Ann Yoder moved the restaurant from its original home below Pike Place Market into a building that once housed a vaudeville theatre. The space was designed by NBBJ, and its basement later became home to The Triple Door, the music and performance venue that opened in 2003. The kitchen draws on recipes gathered from Malaysia, Burma, Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, served family style so guests share dishes across the table, alongside a wine program the restaurant treats with the same care as its food menu. For private dining, the downtown location offers the Lion Room, Dragon Room, Mezzanine Lounge, Union St. Dining Room, and a set of four configurable Mezzanine Rooms that combine to seat up to 64 guests. Between these settings, Wild Ginger accommodates gatherings from an intimate dinner for five to a corporate reception for five hundred, making it a flexible choice for everything from small private dinners to large-scale celebrations.

Wind Mountain Ranch
192 Erickson Rd, Stevenson, WA 98648, USA- Spaces for 300 Guests
A charred-timber gathering hall rises at the center of Wind Mountain Ranch's open meadow, its floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Cascade foothills and the forest line beyond. Completed in early 2025, the building takes its shape from the property's original timber cabins, giving the new construction the weathered, Shou Sugi Ban-inspired texture of something that has always belonged on this 22-acre property outside Stevenson, Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge. The ranch has passed through generations as farmland, orchard, and horse property before settling into its current life as a wedding venue, and that history still shows in the seven timber cabins that line its tree edge, each fitted with its own kitchenette, gas fireplace, and front porch. Couples can choose among three outdoor ceremony settings — a lily pond backed by southern mountains, a hilltop overlooking the Columbia River, or a stand of evergreens beneath windswept peaks — before gathering in the new indoor space for a reception, with room for up to 175 guests. Weddings here come with a personal venue coordinator who works with couples up to six months out, a curated collection of furniture included at no extra rental fee, and the freedom to bring in any outside vendor.
