Awarded Best of Zola
Woodinville Lavender is not only beautiful but the owner Tom made it so easy to plan and enjoy our special day. He is very detail oriented, calm, and accommodating. For example, our catering wasn't able to get ice and Tom had some bags in his freezer chest which he allowed us to use. He allowed us to drop majority of the décor the day before during our rehearsal which was a huge help. On our wedding day, I saw him in the corner of my eye wiping the dance floor so guests don't slip from the bubbles from bubble gun, brought out heat lamps when the night got cold without us even asking, rescheduled our wedding date for free when quarantine policy was implemented for int'l travelers, which prevented half of our guests from coming, made sure we were charged the cheaper Redmond tax rate with our catering, made exception allowing rentals to be picked up the day after our wedding so we don't get charged $500 for late night pick up, and more. Tom has done an impeccable job keeping the venue so beautiful but how much he cares and helps is the real reason why this venue is so worth it. I was stress free and actually had a blast on my wedding day. I'm so grateful to Tom and would recommend this venue to anyone.

Celebrate your special day at Dunn Gardens, a 1915 Olmsted-designed historic garden located just north of downtown Seattle. Our 7.5 acres of luscious Northwest native plants, meandering paths, and a peek-a-boo view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains never cease to amaze guests. This is truly the most beautiful garden in Seattle! There are many reasons to choose Dunn Gardens for your wedding, but one of the nicest things about celebrating here is that we only do one wedding per week, allowing you and your vendors to begin set-up on Thursday with a final clean-up on Monday. Our weddings range in size from simple elopements to micro weddings of up to 40 guests. We are flexible and always enjoy working with couples to create the wedding of their dreams. Why would you choose Dunn Gardens? Privacy, personalized service, and your choice of location for the ceremony that provides a variety of scenic and natural opportunities for photographs.

We had a 35 person wedding at Dunn Gardens in July 2024. It was absolutely amazing. Choosing the gardens was hands-down the best decision of our wedding and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. My husband and I searched all over WA and the Bay Area for wedding venues. We were looking for: - an outdoor wedding in the woods - a space appropriate for 40 guests - the ability to host a medium fancy, catered event- like an elevated backyard wedding We chanced upon Dunn Gardens on a botanical garden website. The moment we visited, we knew it was the perfect spot for us. The space alone may be the most gorgeous, well hidden little pocket of Seattle out there. Even folks not looking to get married should check the gardens out- we visited many times in the year leading up to our wedding, and in every season, the garden is a stunning, PNW dream. This is just what we wanted: a place where we could be at peace in the trees with our guests. It was so magical day-of, and all our guests commented on how special and beautiful the venue was. Though the scenery alone is enough to set this venue apart, the rest of our experience here was also incredible. The professionalism and assistance we received from our venue coordinator, Sara, was wonderful. She helped us every step of the way (for a year!) coordinating with our outside vendors, helping us make key decisions, and solving problems for us that arose day-of with our caterers. Working with Sara was one of the best parts of our wedding process. We also loved the flexibility and access the venue provided. In addition to our Saturday wedding, we hosted a casual rehearsal dinner and nature walk at the gardens Friday night, plus a floral prep party in the garden cottage Friday afternoon. Then, after the wedding, we had Sunday and Monday to clean up. The ongoing access to the gardens all weekend was so helpful logistically and gave us more time to enjoy the space with our families. Most of our wedding took place on lawns outside (there are many little areas to set things up- we had our rehearsal dinner on the cottage lawn, ceremony on the tennis lawn, and reception on the great lawn). For our floral prep, rehearsal dinner food area, and getting ready areas, we used the cottage. We did not rent a tent since it was July (a tent would be a good idea most other months). The venue was very flexible with our choice of vendors and our timeline and vision for the event. A few restrictions that worked fine for us were the limit on the headcount (40 at the time we had our wedding), time cutoff (guests out by 9pm- this was perfect, we bar hopped in Fremont with our friends afterwards), and no microphones, speakers, or DJs (we had a keyboardist, which was great. No mics for the ceremony and toasts, which was not a problem at all). A few more helpful things the venue provided were plastic banquet tables, folding chairs, use of furniture for things like outdoor lounging and gift tables, tablecloths (casual style, perfect for the rehearsal pizza dinner), vases (used for floral prep), and chalkboard signs. We loved our wedding and we are so grateful to have had it at Dunn Gardens. I can’t imagine a more perfect place to get married. I recommend this venue wholeheartedly, and encourage any couple thinking about it to stop in for a visit. You will fall in love with this garden- we certainly did and will be back for years to come.

  • Offer

Located on 12 private acres in the Paradise Lake area of Woodinville, Washington, just 20 miles northeast of Seattle, Liljebeck Farms is an exceptional wedding venue in Washington state equipped with top-tier amenities, ensuring that you experience the wedding of your dreams.

Why you'll love this venue

Venue considerations

  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space

Finding a venue is probably the most stressful part of wedding planning. We researched for weeks, looking for the venue that felt right for us. We looked at many options online and were able to narrow our list down to a small handful. After our first few venue visits, we figured we would have to settle in one way or another. Then, I searched for wedding venues in Woodinville and came upon a true hidden gem in Liljebeck Farms. The venue wasn't advertised on the big websites and I hadn't heard of it before. I reached out to Tami and scheduled a visit. When we arrived for the tour we were greeted by Tami who is an absolutely wonderful human. She showed us around the venue and shared the history of the location and her family. Upon walking into the ceremony space, my husband and each I fell in love with it immediately. The venue is everything we wanted and more. The lighting is bright, modern, and inviting. The location has tons of parking spaces for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony. We were able to choose our own vendors and build the wedding of our dreams! The groom's dressing room is just as thoughtfully crafted as the bride's. The bar is stylish and creative. There are fun lawn games for guests. There is a rental room that has a huge selection of beautiful decor free to use for your wedding. Every detail of the venue is well thought out, from the wood to the flooring, the dance area, and the tables. Tami and her husband worked hard to make their venue into a stylish canvas upon which to paint the wedding experience of your dreams. We also scheduled time to visit the venue throughout the year of planning. Tami was very responsive and welcoming. We even came up with ideas for enhancements, and Tami and Todd updated the space to improve the experience for us and their future guests. On the day of the wedding, Tami and her family were so helpful! They helped hang things, move items, lighting, and so, so much more. This is a venue that is beyond professional. They go for the ride with you. They care about their couples and want their day to be truly special. A lot of care goes into each and every detail to create this beautiful environment. I couldn't imagine a better place to commit to my husband and I am thankful we found this gem.

The venue itself is so unique - a quaint, beautiful property surrounded by lush greenery that made for a magical backdrop. Having our ceremony and reception there truly made our special day feel that much more special. We also want to recognize that as the couple, we had to organize and communicate with all vendors for the day to run smoothly. We were looking for this flexibility and freedom to hire the vendors we wanted.
