MAIN Party Ideas Weddings Wedding Receptions Washington State

In the picture-perfect Pacific Northwest there's no place like the state o' Washington for finding the perfect wedding reception venue. Whether it's formal or casual, indoor or outdoor, Washington State has everything you need to make your wedding day one to remember.

In Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, — and indeed throughout Washington — you'll find some of America's top choices in hotels and resorts, catering and reception halls.

However, don't overlook unusual Washington State reception venues like country clubs, historic museums, art galleries, parks and gardens, boat cruises (there are even special permits available for a wedding at Olympic National Park!), along with miles of Pacific coast for a magnificent and memorable Washington beach wedding reception.

Wherever you choose to have your reception, planning ahead of time is essential.

First, ask friends or family for their suggestions, hunt the Yellow Pages or surf the Web (see below) for the perfect reception site that will suit your style, number of guests, and your budget.

Formal? Casual and family friendly? Indoor? Outdoor?

Make sure their reception facility has enough room for everyone on your guest list.

If it's a complete package, can it be customized? Do they have a list of recommended vendors like florists, photographer and videographers? Is their a beautiful backdrop (provided by either the venue or Mother Nature herself) nearby for wedding photos? Is their enough parking available for all of your guests?
