Another Military Wedding

May 15, 2011/0 Comments/in Seattle Wedding /by MissElaine

I recently had the pleasure of doing a wedding for a couple who chose a very unique place to get married: The Mukilteo Lighthouse! Because the groom is in the coastguard the lighthouse was available to him and his bride at no charge! Imagine that — a free venue because you are in the coastguard and my 10% discount because you are in the military! This couple really saved and look at how beautiful their small, unique wedding was. Another example of how to have the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank! Call me today for your free consultation: 206-406-7919.

Destination Wedding Planning 4

December 16, 2010/0 Comments/in Destination Wedding /by MissElaine

I sent along the official itinerary to Diana and William for their review the other day. I was so thrilled to be able to put together their itinerary. I met some new people (including them) along the way and am deeply intrigued by the whole destination wedding idea. Very doable on all budgets and especially in our beautiful city of Seattle! I am a Seattle native and I LOVE SEATTLE!! It is a joy and privalege to introduce new people to my city. Plus, what a great place to get married, eh?

By the way, we have added a matching boutineer to Diana’s clutch bouquet for the day. She chose the color pink, which will be lovely and William will have a matching boutineer in pink! And we have arranged details for Lou to get a tux for the big day! It’s all coming together…they arrive just next week. How exciting!!! Oh, thanks Alisha for all your fantastic help!

Well, Alisha and I have been working hard on putting together this great little destination wedding package for Diana and William. We have booked a car rental, restaurants, a beautiful executive hotel room in a downtown hotel that will have an unobstructed view of the fireworks on New Year’s Eve, cake, flowers, photographer and me! to officiate their wedding during their stay. All in all, this has been a blast and reminds me of the days when I was a concierge at the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel which is now the Hotel Fairmount. I loved my job then and I’m loving this job now!!!

Ballard Locks Wedding

Who says weddings have to be expensive? You can have a Ballard Locks wedding in a beautiful garden and view of Puget Sound without breaking the bank. The Ballard Locks offer four different areas for your wedding ceremony and are available for you to reserve for a small donation.

These beautiful botanical gardens are a tribute to the devotion of horticulturist, Carl S. English, Jr. During the 43 years working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Carl transformed the barren lawn, left after the construction of the locks, into a garden worthy of serious study. These lovely grounds are a masterpiece of horticultural splendor, combining the elegant lines and vistas of the romantic English landscape style with the original character of more than 570 species and 1,500 varieties from around the world. One of Seattle’s best kept secrets is yours to enjoy. The garden offers color fragrance, and open spaces to awaken your senses all year long. I have officiated dozens of weddings in the formal garden and rose garden which is reserved for groups of 10 or less (section A). The other three areas (sections B, C & D) can accommodate up to 50 guests each.

Consider this — my fee to marry you in the gardens is $295, and the space is available for a small donation. If you want to do a picnic after your ceremony you can keep it as simple as fish ‘n chips at the nearby Lockspot Cafe, or somewhere with a view of Puget Sound and a fantastic menu like Ray’s Boathouse. One note of interest: the Ballard Locks does not allow loud music or alcohol on the grounds.

Call me to help you reserve a garden at the exciting Ballard Locks and Carl S. English Botanical Garden for your Ballard Locks wedding. Please enjoy the following pictures of the rose garden (section A) for your Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer Ballard Locks wedding. Read more about small, Elope or Last Minute Weddings.
