PNW Elegance

We are so happy that we had our wedding at Rock Creek Gardens. The venue is simply stunning. It gives elegance, warmth and intimacy, and beautifully manicured English/PNW garden vibes - all of which we could not wait to share with our guests. We also hired Amber as our coordinator through the venue, and she was amazing to work with. She was accommodating, kind, responsive, asked great questions, provided constructive feedback to our ideas, fully understood and delivered our vision, and most importantly to us, was inclusive and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. The same goes for the rest of the RCG staff, who were great each time we visited the venue. The day of our wedding (mid-September), we were even lucky enough to have a clear sunny day so that Mount Rainier was visible from the wedding party house and terrace where we had our cocktail hour.

It was also convenient that RCG has bathrooms, tables, chairs, and a beautiful (and large) linen draped tent with chandeliers that you can use, along with a large parking lot for easy access for all of your guests. We would highly recommend considering RCG for your wedding venue, you will be happy you did.

Storybook Wedding!

We cannot recommend Rock Creek Gardens enough! This property is absolutely spectacular! We had the best weekend celebrating the marriage of our kids here in what will be remembered as one of the most wonderful events with our family and friends. If you're on the fence about the two day package just book it. Having this incredible property both days was just the best experience. We were able to enjoy family and friends and the bridal party loved the wedding house! Getting ready and being able to all be together the morning of the wedding in this darling house was just wonderful! We had so many people come up to us and comment how beautiful the property was and we wholeheartedly agree!! The staff was so helpful and we are so thankful to them for helping us give our children the Storybook wedding of their dreams! Rock Creek Gardens and their list of preferred vendors is the way to go if you want a dream wedding. We couldn't be more thankful to have chosen this location! The best weekend ever!! More than we could have ever hoped for! Thank you Rock Creek Gardens for making Katie & Tyler's wedding so memorable!💕

Amazing venue!

Rock Creek gardens is a beautiful hidden gem. Communication with staff was great- very easy to reach via email with any questions or concerns. The gardens were beautiful every time I visited and all my guests were very impressed with the venue. A Staff member was present during the whole wedding.

10/10 highly recommend RCG for your wedding!

Stunning wedding venue!

We had the wedding of our dreams at Rock Creek Gardens in July 2021. The COVID pandemic was hard for everyone to navigate, but we came out the other side and were able to have a flawless event. We hired one of the coordinators at the Gardens and she was really great at meeting with us prior to the big day and walking through every little detail. I definitely recommend using one of their coordinators, as they know the venue and the logistics of the space so well. The space was beautiful and everyone was blown away!

Breathe taking

If you are looking for a garden setting for your wedding, you needn’t look any further. From the arbor with an amazing back drop of mature evergreens to the pond with a row boat to take photos to the reception area with chandeliers hanging from the draped ceiling. It’s a stunning venue and so worth the price.

Informative and easy.

From the moment my fiancé and I met with Gracie and Nicole, we were so impressed. They answered all of our questions and gave us great information. Our tour went well over the allotted time but they did not rush us.

I have so many wonderful things to say about RCG! For me it was love at first sight the first time I saw the venue. I loved the pergola, all the chandeliers, and the beautiful landscape. I loved the bridal house! It has plenty of space upstairs for the girls to get ready as well as space downstairs that the guys could get ready if you wanted. Gracie and her team were always super quick at responding to our e-mails and always so patient with us. Mackenzie was our day of coordinator, and she was wonderful. It rained on our wedding day, and she was so flexible with me as we were trying to decide which lay out plan to go with for the ceremony. Overall we loved getting married at the gardens. Our only issue was the fact that we had asked before signing any paperwork that we wanted our dog to be apart of the ceremony. Everyone had said it was fine. We then moved forward with the wedding planning and continued to remind the team many times that we had our dog apart of the wedding, and all was well until the day before the wedding when they had mentioned that we had never signed the paperwork to have our dog there and he technically was not suppose to be there. It was very frustrating that we had made it very clear that we wanted our dog apart of the day and mentioned it numerous times, and 24 hours before the wedding we are getting this news. They ended up working with us so our dog could be apart of the day, but it was just news that a bride did not want to hear right before the wedding. We understand things happen and things get missed. It was just an stress that we did not need right before the big day. Overall though we absolutely loved the venue, and we would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit pricey, but I feel that the services that we received there were worth all of it. Definitely worth looking into.

My husband and I got married at RCG on 7/14/18 and it was our fairy tale day!! This venue is awesome! After a very extensive search into wedding venues, we were left with either very high rates, too many vendor rules and/or minimums, and once we found RCG we knew this was the place! The landscape is impeccably maintained and GORGEOUS, the space is big enough so that once you have ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception it doesn't feel like you're all in one place. So many things included such as tables, double set chairs, byob option and flexibilty with vendors made it a lot easier to make our wedding OURS without being inside a box of which vendors you must use. Though they recommend some, you're still able to pick and choose (for most)! Our wedding was perfect, the staff helped us along the way whenever and however we needed, and our day of coordinator (which is included by the way! This is not common at most venues and you NEED a day of coordinator).. Mackenzie, made our day run as smooth as possible! We also had our rehearsal dinner here the night before and it was so nice to be on the property and enjoy the space even more. This venue is great, the staff is always very helpful and nice and does whatever they can to make your day a dream!! Highly recommend - we're still having people tell us how beautiful our wedding was!!

I honestly can't describe how much I love this place. How well they took care of us and everything else! I was a little busy during the day, but with all their help and the beauty of this place everything was perfect. Even though it rained we were able to go under the tent for awhile and it looked all the more beautiful. Maybe after a year I'll be able to explain better why you should definitely choose this venue, but right now I'm still reeling from the day! I just wanted to say immediately how great they are and how beautiful the entire place is!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I like this place. Great place to hold a wedding in beautiful surroundings and well-manicured grounds. The staff is personable and see to every detail. I've enjoyed being part of several weddings here and am always impressed.

It has been several occasions I've had the wonderful joy and pleasure working with this absolute sparkling GEM down in Puyallup. Their grounds are magnificently designed and sculpted and forever morphing to even greater heights of beauty and functionality. Their layout lends itself perfectly to an efficient and comfortable accommodation of any size group. I can hardly wait to collaborate with them again. Their marketing sales team of Nicole and Gracie are so fun and easy to work with and while being incredibly talented, creative professionals and every coordinator they have are committed to making your event the best it can be. You can rest assured you've been taken wonderful care of when booking with Rock Creek Gardens.
