Roche Harbor Resort is Seattle Bride Magazine‘s Best NW Destination from 2012-2020 and a proud member of The Knot Magazine’s Best Of Weddings Hall Of Fame! Our ceremony and reception venues are just steps from each other, which helps to create an immersive experience for your wedding guests. Contact Us for details on availability.
Centrally located in a lush flower garden that’s filled with vibrant colors and perfumed scents, it’s ideal for intimate weddings or large gatherings. The garden shows its blooms from April through October, peaking with colors in May and June, so there’s not much more to do to make this the perfect outdoor ceremony site in the San Juans.
The historic Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel sits on the hillside overlooking the harbor and is available as a ceremony option or back-up plan should it rain. This unique Roche Harbor gem has stood majestically on the shoreline for more than a century and is still used for regular services during the summer.
Welcome your guests to our outdoor courtyard for cocktail hour before your reception dinner. The oversized wood-burning fireplace will stay lit to enjoy throughout the evening. Our pavilion offers a custom-made indoor bar, beautiful wood floors throughout, and retractable glass doors to allow more natural light and a more fluid combination indoor/outdoor space. Newly renovated with an enclosed buffet room (with retractable curtain), air conditioning and full heat system, and a cozy indoor fireplace.
If your gathering is a bit larger we’ve got just the place to celebrate in style. This grassy lawn next to shoreline offers some of the island’s most beautiful sunset views, and provides a truly unique, island wedding experience. Directly on the water and large enough to include the cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, the seaside lawn is host to some of our most spectacular events. (251+ guests, July & August availability only & additional fees and rentals apply)
What better way to spend the night before your wedding than with close family and friends at a laid-back, gourmet, seaside barbecue? Our casual welcome dinner venue has all the elements for a magical evening…tents, outdoor display kitchen, fire pit, and phone-ready music system. (Seasonal availablity only)
While we’re fortunate to have stunning scenery throughout the grounds, you’ll find our culinary arts on the tip of everyone’s tongue during the wedding reception.
Our culinary team selects choice, local ingredients for our menus, because we know that’s what our clients and their guests crave. Whether it’s seafood from the Salish Sea, beef from Eastern Washington, or produce from the Skagit Valley, we search out the best of what’s around.
Creating recipes to highlight our strong sense of place in the San Juans is essential to the cuisine we prepare for your reception. Our menus focus on seafood and shellfish, while offering robust accompaniments of Washington beef and chicken, hearty vegetables and seasonal salads.
Roche Harbor Weddings carry on our general approach of “dining as entertainment,” so attendees will be treated to a visible culinary team preparing and serving food directly in front of them. The smells and sounds of fresh steelhead on the griddle is something guests will talk about throughout the evening.
