Our wedding was almost an awful day. Over half of our guests left due to bad weather and simply because they didn’t want to stay after getting their cupcake . It was very frustrating and it changed a lot of our plans. We ended up moving indoors and ending everything early. DeeDee was amazing enough to help us change our send off by letting us use her bubble machine and wands ON THE SPOT. We were so grateful for her flexibility on our day. 10/10 recommend this venue!!

I attended a wedding at Campbell's Resort on Lake Chelan, and it was pure joy. Campbell's Resort is such a beautiful spot right on the water, perfect for a dreamy wedding. the cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The wedding was outdoors, and it was breathtaking, especially with the lake as a backdrop. I loved celebrating with everyone, dancing to live music with the groom and bride, eating great food with family and friends. The staff made the wedding feel seamless and extra special, they were attentive and friendly.
