Wedding Ceremony Sites in Washington State
If you're planning a wedding in Washington state, one of the first things you'll need to do is secure a ceremony location. This can be a tougher task than securing a reception site; it's not uncommon for reception venues to prohibit the performing of wedding ceremonies. For convenience, consider a Washington ceremony site that can double as your reception site.
Bear Creek Country Club
Bear Creek Country Club, in Redmond, is available as both a ceremony and reception site, and offers beautiful views of its private lake and tranquil fountains. All catering is provided by Bear Creek Country Club, but couples can bring in their own wedding cake. There are seven wedding packages available, covering everything from brunch weddings to full-course dinners.
