What's an affordable but scenic location to get married in Seattle in the summertime?

RoseCrest Equestrian Estate in Monroe is a great outdoor venue on a "farm." Both the wedding and the reception take place in seperate canopies. The bride and groom have cottages to get ready in, and the scenary is beautiful.\n\nLake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley has indoor and outdoor weddings at a great price!  It is large, open, and airy, and you can hire outside catering to help with the cost.\n\nTibbets Manor and The Pickering Barn in Issaquah are also great places to get married at in the Seattle area.\n\nGood Luck!\nSusie

Myh husband and I went to an extremely romantic, restraunt.  I loved it cause it was small and quaint yet upscale...it was great.  Afterwards, we went to a nice bed and breakfast.  We ate our cake we froze for a year (surprisinly not that bad).  It was a nice get away & fun.  The dinner  was a special treat cause we can't afford to go to expensive restraunts...our anniversary is the only time of the year we splurge for it.  Whatever you do, make it about the 2 of you...remember your wedding day and the great reasons you love each other and got married!

Maybe, you want to decide first as to whom you want to be at the wedding (families, friends, etc.) because with the economy, I don't really think that everyone will be able to afford to go to a location wedding. Find a local area that matches closest to what type of weddng you're dreaming of (garden wedding, beach resort, theme park, etc.), and save the real location (hawaii, cayman islands, etc.)for the honeymoon. Good luck.

How about going Downtown to Millennium Park. I see a lot of couples go there to take wedding photos.

My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  It was fantastic and I'd recommend it 100%.  We worked with Eva and Michael, a married couple who have been planning weddings for 15 years in PV (their excellent website is www.vallartaweddings.net).  She's from the area and knows all of the best vendors; he's Canadian; they both speak perfect English so nothing gets "lost in translation."  We emailed with them back and forth for about 6 months planning the details--for example, I said I wanted a bouquet of tropical flowers and Eva emailed me 8 pictures to get a better idea--I chose 1 of them, and the bouquet arrived at my hotel the day of the wedding.  They took care of ALL of the details and I had a completely stress-free wedding--all for a total of less than $2,000, which is unbelievably less than you'd pay in the States - that included the entire ceremony set-up, flowers, musician, photographer, and officiant, plus all the paperwork to make it legal.  They also recommended hotels for my family to stay in the area, plus worked with a local restaurant to plan the meal for our reception.\n\nThe city of PV is fantastic too--people there speak enough English that non-Spanish people won't have any problems at all.  There's a ton to do there--fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sight-seeing, and tons of shopping.  It's on the beach, so many people just relaxed as well.  There are a ton of places to stay, from good budget hotels downtown to luxury all-inclusives on the beach.  Plus, weddings in Mexico are recognized as legal in the US, so there's no red tape to go through.\n\nGood luck!

I've lived in both places and recommend Wa. it's such a diverse and friendly city and Chicago is neither. Seattle has a marine climate and rarely gets down to freezing. Want snow -ski slopes are 35 miles away--swim, dig clams, parasail 60 miles. Mountain climb, pan for gold, hike, camp 60 miles. Shopping restaurants and seattle center. Winter months has a mist of rain most days--no one pays any attention-not enough to get really wet.Only about 4 months of sunshine. I love Pudget sound and deep sea fishing. The shops and clubs are great on the wharf. Many concerts and the hill is very trendy and appeals to college students.

Here are a couple cute ideas all under $2. or you could check out some other sites for other ideas. The dollar stores are your best bet. They usually have nice stuff that can be dressed up cheap. Since it's summer a package of flower seeds in some tulle(wedding colors) in a mini flower pot would be cute, classy and inexpensive.

Yes, we chose the beach, specifically Key West, Florida.  Keep the wedding simple!  The easiest way is to look for a resort or hotel who handles the planning for you.  Since you aren't in the location of the wedding, it's nice to have someone local arranging for any vendors (photographers, flowers, etc) that you want.  Also, a resort will offer a back-up location in case of bad weather.  To save money, keep the number of guests down.  You can have an intimate wedding!  Also, you won't need a lot of flowers and decorations because the setting will already be beautiful.  Congrats and happy planning!

First thing I would do is get a list of parks from the county.Start visiting them and scout out the perfict spot.Even ask the people who work for Parks and Recreation if someone has actually had a wedding on site before. They may be able to point out an ideal spot. Many have vast land that would be great for this. You do have to remember people might need to go to the bathroom. Also that you don't want to be walking too far out as their will be many things to get set up. \nI had an outdoor wedding. It was an open, grassy area with large shade trees. We opted to have it set just out of the shade so by the time the wedding started, the guests would be shaded. \nAs for  a reception, I would advise not having it at the same place. You really need a bathroom close by, sink with running water and you will have flies to contend with not to mention the wind. (Private land sounds like a great thing to look into)\nIt is WORK planning a wedding, try to keep things simple and pleasing for you first and your guests also. \nSounds like you have a beautiful idea. I can picture it.

Try a Bed and breakfast in New Hampshire. Get married in the morning and then have a Brunch buffet, it will be less expensive and for your party size,  a B&B would be able to accomodate you and cater your brunch in a beautiful and peaceful setting.\n\nCongratulations.

Outside weddings. Me and my wife got married beside a river on some property my parents own. It was great and it was free, except for the Pastor. Plus then if you have people you don't want to invite but feel it is necessary to invite them, maybe they won't come because it is outside and they won't want to have to sit out in the sun. Worked on my grandma, she's crazy.

I think it depends on your budget but there a lot of beautiful hotels in NYC. I would just look around at a few and see if any look suitable for your wedding. Good luck!

I think that sounds lovely, especially for an outdoor wedding in the summer! If anyone says they don't like it, stick out your tongue and tell them to bugger off. It's your wedding and you can do what you want.
