Destination Wedding Planning 2

So we got Diana and William booked into the Warwick Hotel on one of the new Executive floors (17th flr) for the duration of their stay but most importantly an unobstructed view of the Space Needle on New Year’s Eve when they will  blast off a bunch of fireworks!   What a celebration!!! Just to let […]

Destination Wedding Planning

I got an inquiry from a woman in California the other day about her and her fiance William who wanted to come to Seattle to get married.  What began as a simple request has now turned into a really fun little event with some travel planning involved.  I am so excited to say that I […]

Hotel Suites for Ceremony

I would like to introduce a trend that I think is a great value for a small (10 or less) wedding ceremony and more… I’m talking about renting a suite in a nice hotel in downtown Seattle for the night.  Have everyone gather at the suite for an intimate ceremony with a few refreshments in […]

Downtown Hotel Suite for Ceremony

Recently I married a couple that I worked with to help find just the right spot to have their small, intimate but very meaningful ceremony, with dinner to follow.  I suggested a few ideas but he was going a different direction but somehow we ended up at the same conclusion.  That conclusion was to rent […]

Dr. Seuss-like Wedding Vows

I did a wedding last week that was so sweet.  It was last minute as the couple were going to different parts of the country in a few short days — military situation.  They made their ceremony so adorable though and I want to share it with you. Vows Officiant: Will you answer me right […]

Outdoor garden wedding on the Olympic Penninsula

Last summer I had the pleasure of officiating a wedding in a lovely outdoor garden called The Cutting Garden in Sequim (http://www.cuttinggarden.com/weddings.html), which is located on the Olympic Penninsula.   It was a long drive — including a ferry — but when I arrived I was really inspired by the beauty of the grounds. The Cutting […]

Another beautiful hike

Last Sunday I did another hike with a couple for their wedding ceremony.  They chose a favorite destination of theirs — Lake 22 in the Mt. Baker National Forest — and brought along some family members and friends to share their very special day.  Unfortunately, it was quite rainy and we only went half way, […]

Lake Washington Park for your Summer Wedding

I did an outdoor wedding last Summer at Colman Park on Lake Washington.  The couple paid $200 to the Seattle Parks Department to reserve this beautiful spot on the shores of Lake Washington for their event.  This picture doesn’t do the spot justice — couldn’t get it any bigger — but you can see they […]
