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. English perennial gardens front the property, planted with more than 10,000 plants across roughly 200 species; the gardens trace back to 1998, when the inn operated as BJ's Garden Gate, and have since been featured in Garden Design magazine. 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. Guests can book a single suite or take over the entire property. For weddings, couples exchange vows on the cliffside overlooking the water, framed by the surrounding cedar forest and gardens.

The Inn at Mazama's biggest surprise for planners is its Clubhouse — a newly renovated space that hosts weddings and retreats and doubles as an on-site yoga studio and cafe-style co-working space, all part of a boutique mountain inn in the heart of the Methow Valley. Positioned just steps from the trails, a local store, and a pub, the Inn has managed vacation rental cabins throughout the Methow Valley for over 30 years and pairs 18 guest rooms — spread across eight types, from compact queens to king suites with jetted tubs and cast iron stoves — with nightly rental cabins around Mazama. Guests can unwind in the outdoor pool, hot tub, and sauna, or play a set on the pickleball and tennis courts between adventures in the North Cascades. For events, the Clubhouse offers a flexible setting for weddings, yoga retreats, family gatherings, corporate off-sites, and groups of skiers, hikers, and cyclists. The Inn doesn't offer fixed wedding packages, so couples work directly with the property and local vendors to shape a day and budget; catering can be arranged, and small groups may use the Clubhouse kitchen by prior arrangement. Groups booking half or more of the Inn's rooms qualify for special group rates.
