Why Choose Wenatchee?

 “The views, wherever we looked were magnificent and sweeping, our wedding was enchanting, the food was exceptional, the service absolutely professional and our wedding was EVERYTHING WE HAD DREAMED IT WOULD BE, AND REVEREND SYLVIA WAS A SPECTACULAR  ASSET TO OUR WEDDING.  The words she spoke were beautiful, meaningful and  exactly what we wanted and many of our guests were brought to tears with the love that just poured out because of what she wrote for our ceremony.  THANK YOU REVEREND SYLVIA ". 

If these are the words, from a previous bride, are what you want to say about your wedding day, then welcome to why I love performing Weddings in the  Wenatchee Valley.

Where once, not long ago, wild horses ate apples off of the trees and roamed and ran free in the valleys and mountains sides of the Eastern Ridge of the Cascade Slope, where now today, we still offer superb vistas, mighty rivers, and hills covered with orchards and vineyards, in this Valley, surrounded by these magnificent Cascade mountains, sometimes called the "American Alps".  Today, residents, guests and tourists from all around the world, enjoy fishing, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, bird watching, river rafting, golf and more, all surrounded by the photogenic, raw rugged landscape of the West, where the Wenatchee Valley is the natural dividing line of the coastal Mountain range of the Cascades and the beginning of the Great American Prairies and the Big Bend Wheat Country.

Imagine one of the Northwest's most beautiful and acclaimed historic locations, such as the flower-laden park at Rocky Reach Dam, the mighty Columbia River, Ohme Gardens or Confluence Park, where the Wenatchee River joins the mighty Columbia River, as the backdrop for your wedding day. Some days you will see bald eagles soaring, some days you will see deer grazing and some days you'll see the magnificent, wild bighorn sheep, but every day, in our beautiful community will bring a memory of your wedding day which will awe and inspire you.

The city of Wenatchee was founded in 1892. The name Wenatchee comes from local Indian words Wa-Nat-Chee. There have been several interpretations of it's meaning. One is "Robe of the rainbow". Another is "River running through canyons," and some of the "old-timers", claim it means "Meeting of the waters".  Whatever the true meaning is, Wa-Nat-Chee conjures a visual concept of the beauty of the Wenatchee Valley.

The Wenatchee Valley is known for lush, manicured lawns with mature fruit trees, vineyards that color the hills with green, purple and red clusters of grapes, and intimate flowering gardens that spill over mountain walkways providing extraordinary settings for special occasions and treasured memories. You will find locations where you'll hear the sound of water flowing, and where you will be filled with the scents of roses and cherry blossoms that permeate the air throughout the Valley, and we are blessed with 300 days of sunshine each year, with intensely blue skies.

Featuring spectacular views of the snow capped mountains and gently sloping desert terrain, the Wenatchee Valley is the premier setting for all styles of wedding receptions and ceremonies.

An ever growing number of couples have chosen the Wenatchee Valley as the location for their Wedding.  There is an old adage here and it is well known, that  … "if you get married in Wenatchee … you stay married"!
