Awarded Best of Zola
DeeDee is an incredible owner - providing the best service and advice throughout not only your wedding day, but planning as well! We loved that Sadie Lake had such a large inventory of decor - we saved hundreds here! The bridal suite with beautiful natural light, large and accommodating groom’s suite, and the prep kitchen was a huge bonus. Now let’s talk about the grounds - DeeDee has created a beautiful venue. When we showed up for our tour, she was in gardening gloves and boots - we knew that she kept this place immaculate! Everything on the 18 acres is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for wedding photos! The barn is a beautiful backdrop, the lake is adorable, and the lush green grounds are to die for. The tent and barn provide great alternates for poor weather as well (we didn’t need it, but we were glad to have a backup, knowing Washington). Our guests absolutely loved partying it up at Sadie Lake! Deedee is the kindest vendor, and truly cares for you as a couple and the important part of your wedding day; that you love each other and are getting married!! We highly recommend Sadie Lake!

Chuckanut Bay Distillery was an absolute pleasure to work with for our rehearsal dinner! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, professional, and incredibly friendly and informative. They provided us with so many fun, flexible options for how we wanted to handle the drinks and food for our rehearsal dinner. The buffet options they offered were delicious, and we loved that dessert was included in the price. The staff went above and beyond to make our rehearsal dinner a blast, and were so attentive to making sure everything went smoothly. The food and drinks were all fantastic - we received so many compliments from our guests on how tasty everything was.
