The mild climate

Throughout the state you won’t find any intense extremes. Yes there’s rain, but not as much as people expect in most areas, and typically seasonally. While in eastern Washington, it can get up to 100 degrees in the summer! In the mountains it can drop below freezing, there’s even some snow in winter time. Keep in mind that these are the extremes, and that at different times of the year its typically mild and pleasant anywhere you go.

 The increase in couples opting for a scenic adventure ceremony have led to an ever growing list of vendors to choose from. When looking for vendors, you definitely want options.

Whether your ceremony plans will include florists, desserts, coordinators, venues, or hair and make-up artists; you’ll find a sea of capable and talented vendors. 

Welcoming cities

If you didn’t already know, Washing State was one of the first to legalize gay marriage, which c’mon love is love, so that’s the biggest of deals. Communities and cities like Seattle, Bellingham, Vancouver and surrounding areas are incredibly welcoming, accepting and celebratory of all walks of life, so it is a great place for YOUR love to be celebrated. Love is love, and Washington is made for all lovers.
