Wedding Vendor Recommendations | Seattle Area & Beyond!
You’re in the middle of planning and ready to choose your most important vendors for your big day! I’m so happy you’re here! I’ve worked with so many amazing wedding vendors over the years and can’t wait to share my wedding vendor recommendations with you. Be sure to click over each vendor listed, it’ll take you straight to their website!
Now before we dive in, please be sure to check with your venue to make sure each vendor meets the requirements of the Wedding venue. Sometimes they can have rules and restrictions like requiring a day of coordinator or only allowing certain caterers to cater your wedding. So be sure to check before signing any contracts to make sure you can have all your dreams come true. Now here we go!
Venues
Not to put on the pressure, but your wedding venue sets the stage for your overall look for your wedding day. It’s a great idea to sit down before searching and think about what you really want your wedding day to feel and look like. The venue you choose will be the base for your overall day!
Laurel Creek Manor in Sumner, WA – This is where I got married! It’s truly a magical garden venue with historic details.
Christiansons Nursery in Mount Vernon, WA – A family owned nursery with stunning gardens and an indoor barn both perfect for weddings.
Lairmont Manor in Bellingham WA – A historic estate with a grand wedding day feel.
North Fork Farms, Snoqualmie WA – A gorgeous farm with views of Mt. Si.

Planners and Day of Coordinator
Having a wedding planner or day of coordinator might not feel like a top priority at first but trust me when I say having someone at least day of on your vendor team to help coordinate and keep things running on time can make all the difference in the smoothness of the day. Having someone to send people to to handle all the last minute details day of will take all the stress off of you and your partner so you can truly enjoy your wedding day to the fullest.

Stationary
Having someone create beautiful, personalized, story-telling details through your invites and stationary is such a special touch. I love using these details for your detail photos on your wedding day, and friends and family love seeing all your personal touches through your planning process!
Officiants
Having a trusted officiant on your wedding vendor team will ensure your ceremony will go off without a hitch. Be open and honest about what you want for your ceremony. Want to crack jokes? Keep it serious? Include religious traditions? They are here to work with you to create a ceremony that fits you and makes it all official!

Dress Shops
There are so many dress shops out there but I wanted to make this specific wedding vendor recommendation because they are doing so much good! They are a non-profit organization that raises money for charity! They offer discounted dresses at wonderful prices, have yearly sales, and make the shopping experience still beautiful and enjoyable! I had an amazing experience with them and found my dress here! They have a Seattle, Tacoma and Portland location.
Pet Care
Want your pup to be at your wedding? Wondering what you’ll do with them day of? My husband and I were going back and forth and ultimately didn’t want to ask anyone at our wedding to have to care for and transport our dog on our wedding day. We hired Wags down the Aisle and they took the best care of our husky making sure she was happy and enjoying the big day too! It was so special having her there and not having to worry about her a lick!
Wedding Bouquet Preservation
If you decide you want to Preserve your wedding bouquet here are a few wonderful artists who create beautiful art pieces with your wedding bouquet!
