    Beecher Hill House

    • Spaces for 200 Guests

    Set on a century-old estate in Peshastin, Washington — about two and a half hours east of Seattle — Beecher Hill House overlooks apple and pear orchards, vineyards, and the Wenatchee Valley. The restored manor was built between 1909 and 1913 by Samuel P. Beecher, an orchardist who shipped the first carload of apples out of Peshastin; its fine hardwoods, stonework, and advanced features made the house an early landmark, and its formal grounds include a grotto designed to replicate the nearby Snow Lakes. Today the manor and its terraced grounds host weddings and private events, from elopements and intimate ceremonies for two to grand affairs, along with rehearsal dinners and photo shoots. Signature wedding packages are all-inclusive, covering tables, white linens, glassware and dinnerware, waitstaff, bartenders, a professional DJ and sound system, parking attendants, a guided rehearsal, and a wedding planning consultant. Wedding parties prepare in a light-filled bridal suite with two bathrooms and in-room catering, while a private groom's club — complete with its own entrance, bar, TV, and foosball table — gives the groomsmen a place to relax. Only one event is booked per day, and owner and event planner Abra Miller serves as each client's point person.
