Services Offered

The mission of the Heronswood Garden is to restore, maintain and develop a horticultural facility, making it a truly special place for events of all kinds. With over 8,000 plants in a variety of shapes, sizes, fragrances and colors, this property is ideal for a lovely springtime wedding when all of the flowers are blooming.

History

The process of creating the garden started in 1987 when the co-founders took possession of the property and transformed it over the next two decades. It was sold to a national plant and seed distribution firm in 2000, but was soon neglected for several years after 2006. In 2012 it was purchased once again by the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe where it went through a rebirth with an exciting new inventory of plants and a regrown landscape. This original thriving garden is now a beautiful setting for one-of-a-kind events.

Dream wedding

Had the most amazing wedding. It was a pleasure working with Shelby. Everyone was beyond helpful with tastings, random questions, idea, and even helpful with choosing vendors that know the venue well. My only negative at all was for my wedding size the isle was a tad small. But I knew that was going to be and issue, and such a small part of my big day. The wedding staff was attentive and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing! And we got to take the left overs home!

10000000/10 Heronswood is the PERFECT venue!

My husband and I got married at Hersonwood late last August and we still gush about that day and the whole crew at Heronswood. These grounds are kept impeccably clean and beautiful. Jaws will be on the floor, this place speaks for itself. Even when we initially toured in October (near the end of season for them), it was breathtaking. There is simply nowhere better to tie the knot and celebrate with friends and family.

We can’t give Shelby enough praise. She got our vision from the start and was such a calming presence in the stress of wedding planning. Need vendor recommendations? Shelby’s got a list of people they’ve worked with before. Worried about where you’ll rent table cloths from? Worry no more Shelby’s got you. Did the table seating chart change for the third time with two days? No worries, Shelby’s on it. We couldn’t have done it without her and the amazing staff at Hersonwood. They ran the day seamlessly. Our guests had an amazing time. Again, we heard nothing but amazing things from our guests about the venue and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day.

Do yourself a favor and go tour the garden for yourself. It’s truly a hidden gem in the PNW.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Heronswood Gardens was absolutely beautiful for our wedding! This garden is seriously so amazing, such a hidden gem. Shelby is amazing to work with. Everything went perfectly. The venue includes caterer, tables/chairs, linens, hotel block, shuttle service - which made planning our wedding so much easier. Our guests also had a great time. Highly recommend Heronswood Gardens!

Perfect outdoor wedding!

Shelby and her team at the garden really made my wedding exactly how I pictured it! They helped me tour the venue initially and talked through everything I would need to make the day come together. The venue does so much work to make a ceremony and reception easy: they have beautiful chairs and so many spaces to choose from for the ceremony plus a great reception tent, amazing food and the best backgrounds for photography! The food and drink at our reception was excellent! Their chef and catering staff was so thoughtful and helpful. An all around excellent experience!

Melissa Meyer Wedding Review

Heronswood Garden is an absolutely gorgeous outdoor venue. Shelby our event coordinator was an absolute joy to work with, she was attentive to all of our needs and replied quickly to all of my questions. She helped to make our day an incredible and unforgettable experience. The entire staff at The Point of Hotel and Casino were easy to work with and so helpful. Loved having our wedding here and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Could not be bothered to show up for a scheduled tour.

We drove 45 minutes on Saturday for a tour we scheduled in advance to a locked gate. We called both phone numbers provided to us (360-297-9620 and 360-297-6137). Went to voicemail on both, and the voicemail states they are open until 4:30pm on Saturdays. It was 1pm. So not only did they not show up for the tour, but they weren't in office to answer my call while we're sitting at the gate for our tour. So incredibly unprofessional. An hour+ later, I received a text message apology from them stating their phone updated earlier in the week and they lost all of their calendar appointments. It's not hard to back up your calendar appointments and we had been corresponding via WeddingWire which also copies to your email address. So if they knew they lost their appointments, they should have been looking in either WeddingWire or their email to make sure they retrieved them all. No longer an option for our venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
