VENUE BOOKED!

So...the whole reason 'welding' talk began was because we visited Cave B Inn and Winery and totally fell in love. The people there were so welcoming to us, and happy to host our ceremony. However, upon visiting we discovered that there was not an appropriate room. They had a huge room, two small conference style rooms and a restaurant that didn't meet our aesthetic requirements...after much deliberation and a brief Groomzilla moment, we decided that we would have to compromise too much of our vision to have it there. If you get a chance to visit, its GORGEOUS, and the restaurant superb.

It's important for us to find a space, that met both of our very different tastes;   his more rustic and mine more modern.We knew we wanted to have over sized tables that seat 20-25, so the space has to be big. W

e also didn't want people to have to travel after the vows to dinner, and plan to serve wine before the vows so travel was not an option. 

How lucky we were to find the Sunday of Columbus day weekend open (no Saturdays until December :0()  at the Bathhouse at Golden Gardens in Ballard. Plus, how clever to have a gay wedding at a bathhouse...and it's right on the ocean.
