Weddings in the Methow: wedding planning in Washington's Methow Valley

Weddings in the Methow logo: watercolor sunset over mountain ridges inside a gold heart

Mountain ceremonies, river-bend receptions and ranch-style celebrations, planned by people who live here. We help you choose the right venue and season, line up local vendors and lodging, and keep the weekend running so you can be present for it.

Why the Methow

A valley built for gathering

The Methow Valley sits on the sunny east side of the North Cascades, where the Methow, Chewuch and Twisp rivers wind past ranch land, aspen groves and the western-front town of Winthrop. Summers are warm and dry, evenings cool off under dark, starry skies, and autumn turns the cottonwoods and larches gold.

It is also a place that takes some planning. Guests drive in over mountain passes, lodging is spread across small towns, and the best weekends book early. That is exactly where we help.

Where to say I do

Venues across the valley

From a 1,500-acre mountain lodge above Winthrop to working ranches near Twisp and riverside courtyards in Mazama, the valley offers settings for elopements of a dozen people up to celebrations of a few hundred.
