6 Stunning Vashon Island Wedding Venues for Your Wedding Day
Vashon Field and Pond
This venue might be one of the most iconic PNW locations I’ve ever seen. Stunning views across the Puget sound, towering madrona trees, and acres of beautiful grassy lawns that turn golden in the late summer provide one of the most epic backdrops for a spectacular PNW wedding. The expansive meadow makes a perfect ceremony site, surrounded by towering alder and madrona trees that frame the water views. Private beach access, a kitchenette, a barbecue, fire pits, an outdoor shower, and a covered sleeping platform make this a venue ideal for a multi-day event. Guests and family can book multiple forms of accomodations to stay on-site, with tent and RV camping also available. The venue can accommodate up to 23 people for overnight lodging (not including tent/RV sites) and up to 500 guests for wedding day events.
Woodland Gardens Event Venue
I couldn’t pick what I love more — forests or gardens. Woodland Gardens offers the best of both! Woodland Gardens is a perfect spot for an idyllic forest wedding with multiple options for your ceremony site and room for a stylish tented reception. The venue also offers a spacious lawn, a bridal getting-ready suite, on-site accommodations, and is handicap accessible for all your guests! Lisabeula is just minutes down the road if you also want photos with water views in the background!

Lavender Hill Farm
Located on the southern portion of Vashon Island overlooking Quartermaster Harbor, Lavender Hill Farm is an enchanting location for small wedding ceremonies. Ceremonies can be held on the large flat lawn surrounded by blooming lavender in the early to mid-summer.

Stunning views of the water, Mount Rainier, and the surrounding lavender fields create a stunning pastoral atmosphere.
Villa Vashon
If you love being right on the water, Villa Vashon offers a waterside lawn for beautiful outdoor receptions! There is even a tiny beach if you want to get married on the sand at low tide.
