Wedding venue

This was an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue to use. We had our wedding ceremony out on the resort hotel lawn in front of the giant willow tree. It was a perfect summery day with a gentle breeze with a fantastic view of the water. Our wedding guests couldn't stopped raving about the location and the ambiance of the hotel. My fiancee and I were delighted to find out that their fees for using the venue were significantly cheaper than another place nearby. Loved working with Marie, the catering manager, the sales manager Kelly; the banquet manager Jonathon and their wait staff was friendly and fabulous on both the rehearsal day and wedding day. Hats off to Imeleta from the hotel registration who was quite fluent in American Sign Language as my fiancee and I were Deaf and sooo helpful! I can't say enough for this venue. If you are considering this place for a wedding, book way early. We grabbed the only weekend available for August 2024 and we made the reservation in August of 2023!

Amazing hotel for our room blocks!

We got married at Kiana Lodge and had our room blocks at Clearwater. They were amazing...beautiful venue, every single staff member was helpful, kind, thorough, and treated us like royalty! It was the BEST experience!! We even had our rehearsal dinner outside on the patio, and it was stunning!! Would recommend this place to anyone for their wedding dreams to come true. Thank you Clearwater, for the amazing and unforgettable memories!!

This venue was so absolutely beautiful, with space for the arch under a gorgeous willow tree overlooking the water. They had so many options for customizing everything exactly how I wanted it. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. And the hotel rooms are really nice as well! I couldn’t recommend this venue more!

This resort is in the prefect location, it is outside of my nearby hometown, and has all the desired amenities! Such as a hotel large enough to accommodate to my guests, pool, hot tub, on site restaurant and accessibility to other fun things to due such as a mall, stores, shops ans salons to gather all of our wedding needs all in one place! Not to mention the waterfront and big tree backtrdrop is exquisite. I am super happy we made this our selection.

Beautiful location, right on the water! They have been so flexible, helpful and professional; I've really enjoyed working with Brittany Bakkan and everyone at Clearwater Resort to coordinate our wedding venue and Rosie Bayes for our reception/catering. The venue is fabulous! It's right on the gorgeous Agate Pass, the lodge with its Native Suquamish art, woodwork and old photos is unique and stunning. The gardens, flowers and trees are so breath taking, we didn't even need to decorate for the service outside. The resort rooms are so comfortable and beautiful and the new restaurants, cafe and buffet so nice, guests didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. The reception they catered for us was fresh, delicious and had all our guests raving over it. I'm so glad we chose this location and venue for our wedding and reception because everyone had such a good time, were so wowed by the location and quality of everything. I couldn't have been happier! I gave them a 5 star rating but, really they're a 10! I can't say enough good things about them.

We had our guests all stay at the Clearwater Casino's BEAUTIFUL resort and also had them cater our wedding. Chef Tin put together the most incredible menu (two years later we still get comments about our incredible food) and the rooms/ resort were amazing. We had guests from all across the country who were ready to move to Washington after getting a taste of the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

The Clearwater Hotel/Resort is a beautiful place with an event lawn overlooking agate passage for virtually any event, from weddings under the weeping willow to BBQ's! The Banquet and Hotel staff are more than accommodating, and are always a pleasure to work with! We've had 3 events there, and will surely have our next big event there! Can't say enough good about this place!! Seriously Check it Out! http://www.clearwatercasino.com/hotel Rosie and Amy are truly the BEST!!
