As the sun began to glide behind the trees during Matt and Brielle's wedding, we slipped away from the party into the gardens for a few sunset photos. The carefully manicured gardens were just starting to bloom on this mid-spring day. We had been blessed with perfect weather despite a forecast that suggested otherwise and these two lovebirds were so happy to finally have their event that Covid had rescheduled multiple times. Sunset at Twin Willow Gardens is reason enough to book your wedding or event here. The sun setting over the Snohomish Valley is worthy of awe and with a little photo magic and timing, you can catch rainbow sun flares (a favorite trick of mine). 

Here are 5 other reasons that you should consider Twin Willow Gardens for your wedding.

A Perfect Pacific Northwest Setting

Twin Willow Gardens has a tree nestled ceremony site that feels like it came directly from a fairy tale. The old-growth trees seem to hug every guest as they enter this wooden hollow to watch as loved ones share intimate vows. The ceremony arch is lovely bare but dresses up quite nicely with linens and florals for that extra special touch. The farm-style benches are classy and appropriate for the wooded ceremony destination as well. As a photographer, I love that there isn't a bad angle to shoot here. You feel transported to a location deep in the woods even though you are just a few feet from the gardens and reception tent. 

Room for Any Size Event

No matter if you are hosting an intimate gathering like Brielle and Matt, or a larger event, Twin Willow Gardens can host most weddings. (Up to 150 guests). There is space for your friends and family to enjoy lawn games, chat around one of the many firepits, dance under the stars, and stroll through the gardens. For a photographer, this is a paradise. Not only do the grounds offer so many photographic possibilities, but the space also has a convenient layout so you aren't so spread out like some other outdoor wedding venues in Washington State. There are also separate tiny homes for members of both wedding parties to use for getting ready prior to the event. It's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the planning and execution of the layout of this venue. 

Great Staff

Rebecca and Brian Grant are seasoned wedding professionals who know how to make your event run perfectly. They are onsite during events and so helpful to both vendors and guests. They understand the flow of an event and how to maximize your enjoyment so that all who attend have great memories. Most of all, they value you and the property. They are making continual improvements to make sure that Twin Willow Gardens is lovely and available for years to come.

All of the Essential Rentals Included

Some wedding venues will only provide you with access to the grounds when you book. Twin Willow Gardens includes an extensive list of the items you'll need on your wedding day to facilitate your dream event. Not only do they offer a great selection, but their rentals are also in great condition. Another sign that the property is well managed and maintained.  Check out the Details and Amenities page on their website for specifics on what is included in each rental.
