From intimate affairs to lavish celebrations, choosing your wedding venue can be overwhelming. The Seattle area is full of many amazing places to say “I do”, like the sweeping landscape of the Olympic Mountains seen across the Puget Sound, to charming farms filled with picturesque views, to treehouse villages nestled in the forests, all the way to downtown industrial-chic buildings with rooftop views! You can’t go wrong in choosing any one of these options, so it all comes down to the vision you have for your day. If you hire a wedding planner (read more here on why I highly suggest you do) they will be able to help you choose a venue for your wedding ceremony, but I have also created a list of Washington wedding venues that I personally love to help get you started on your journey.
