Intimate Ceremonies at Bloedel Reserve
Ceremonies | Vow renewals | Elopements
A wonder of nature, Bloedel Reserve is tucked away on the north end of Bainbridge Island, overlooking Puget Sound. Named one of America’s top 10 public gardens, the Reserve features 140 acres of spectacular landscapes, forests, and trails. Radiant outdoor spaces, sweeping vistas, meticulously maintained lawns, distinctive magnificent landscapes, the Bloedel family’s original residence overlooking Puget Sound, and a tranquil Japanese guest house and garden are among the many areas at the Reserve offering stunning backdrops for your perfect day.
Bloedel Reserve offers venues for those wanting a relaxed, intimate ceremony with their closest loved ones. Wedding couples have access to one of three beautiful public locations in the gardens to exchange their vows in a truly iconic Pacific Northwest setting.
Three Distinct Landscapes to Choose From
The Residence Sound View
Designed by Seattle architect J. Lister Holmes in the 18th-century French tradition, the Residence was once the home of Prentice and Virginia Bloedel. The back veranda overlooks the Bluff for expansive sunset views of the Puget Sound.
The Japanese Guest House
Japanese tea house meets Northwest coast Native American longhouse in this unique building designed by architect Paul Hayden Kirk. A tranquil retreat, the Japanese Garden’s vast collection of trees includes a resplendent laceleaf maple and a large katsura tree.
Buxton Bird Marsh & Pollinator Meadow
This naturalized area is a tranquil setting for nesting birds, migratory and resident ducks and geese, and an abundance of pollinator-friendly plants and grasses.
