About

Nestled among lush forests and resting beside the shores of the Agate Passage in Poulsbo, Washington, is Kiana Lodge, a picturesque wedding venue. It is concealed by towering cedars, from which cleansing aromas fill the air, and sprawling green lawns abundantly adorned with colorful flowers. The venue's encapsulating beauty makes it an ideal destination for any wedding celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

Kiana Lodge includes three desirable event spaces for nearly-weds to consider hosting their special occasion. The Lawn provides couples with a wonderful area to exchange vows. It sits beneath wide-open skies and is wreathed by thick green forests and rolling rivers. The Garden Atrium is a magnificent structure made from a solid wooden frame and features exposed beams with clear-panel windows that let natural light pour in. This event space is an enchanting location to host a lavish reception dinner with space for more than 350 guests. The Moose and Dining Rooms can be used for smaller affairs like rehearsal dinners and private ceremonies, with space for up to 80 guests. The Main Lodge can be described as a contemporary version of a cabin in the woods. It features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, comfortable couches, and a wooden framework. Wedding parties can use this cozy location as an ideal get-ready room.

Services Offered

Kiana Lodge has an impeccably trained team of professional staff members who can coordinate all necessary event rentals, catering, and lighting features. The on-site event planners and coordinators can work with couples to design a wedding that collectively reflects their style. The venue arranges all setup and cleanup services so that couples can place all their focus on enjoying their special occasion.

Cuisine

The lodge's culinary staff can prepare a range of delicious cuisine, from simple hors d'oeuvres to signature salmon buffets. They mainly focus on American-style delicacies, which are served in various ways, from plated dishes to serving stations. The in-house bar services are fully staffed with professional bartenders and offer a choice between cash and open bar setups.

A Fantastic Wedding Experience

My wife and I could not have asked for a better wedding experience that what we had with Kiana Lodge. Through the entire process, the staff was wonderful to work with. Pam, our day of coordinator, was in particular absolutely incredible. Come wedding day, we could not have asked for a more special day; the venue was stunning, the food was fantastic, and the staff was terrific.

Thank you to Pam, Leslie, and the entire Kiana Lodge team for making our wedding day exceptional!

The most gorgeous place!!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue - they are a dream come true!
We came to Kiana about a year before the wedding with a 2-ceremony vision. Pam, Leslie, and the Kiana team gave us a tour and came back to us with a reasonable plan and quote. They were willing to set up the dining room twice, the wedding ceremony chairs twice, with a quick clean up in between ceremonies! Additionally, they had worked with our planner before and had a good relationship.

The space itself is gorgeous. The flowers, the water, the garden, just amazing! There were seals playing and eagles soaring throughout the day. The fact that this is a private property that only hosts one wedding at a time was also something that I found really special and helpful. There is no chance of random people poking their heads in or running into another wedding - the venue is yours for your day, this was really important to us.

The food at Kiana is also great :) We wanted to serve a traditional indian/nepali lunch after our first ceremony, and Kiana's chef, Cesar, learned the recipes and cooked the dishes himself!! We had a tasting a couple months before the ceremony with some minor notes and the lunch on the wedding itself came out perfect! They even accommodated some new appetizer recipes for cocktail hour! The dinner was great, and the bar lines were manageable (something we had asked them to be mindful of).

Amazing location and staff!

Our experience at Kiana Lodge was nothing short of magical, thanks in large part to the incredible team led by Pamela. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The natural beauty of the surroundings provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Pamela's expertise and attention to detail were evident every step of the way, from planning to execution. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless, from coordinating with vendors to accommodating special requests. The staff at Kiana Lodge was professional, friendly, and accommodating, making our guests feel welcomed and cared for. Our wedding day exceeded all expectations, and we owe a huge thanks to Pamela and the entire team at Kiana Lodge for making it truly unforgettable!

Beautiful Wedding Venue!

We just got married at Kiana Lodge this October and it could not have been more perfect. The views, the event space, the staff were all fantastic. We were lucky and it didn’t rain much for our wedding so our ceremony was held outdoors, which was incredible and everything we had hoped for. However the indoor space would have been beautiful as well. Our reception was held in the garden atrium and it could not have been any more perfect! We were in constant communication with Kiana Lodge (as was our wedding planner) and they were incredibly accommodating! Our wedding was nut free and we were able to have 3 specialty cocktails! They worked well with our florist to bring our vision together and overall were just very easy to work with! The scenery and the buildings are so beautiful it really doesn’t take much to transform this venue into a magical wedding. The bridal suite is small for getting ready so we coordinated with the Suquamish Clearwater Resort and we got ready in the Clearwater beach house which is conveniently located next door to Kiana Lodge, they were kind enough to open the gate so it was extremely easy to move between the two spaces. Overall, our wedding was absolutely perfect, if anything went wrong we had no idea and both our wedding planner and our day of coordinator at Kiana Lodge made everything run smoothly. If we had to pick anything that wasn’t perfect we would have to say the drinks, particularly our specialty cocktail (a moscow mule) was not spectacular, however this was not a priority for us and in no way impacted how we felt about our wedding. We still had the most amazing time and our pictures look spectacular. We want to say a huge thank you to Kiana Lodge for helping to create the most magical wedding, it was everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more, and we are so happy that we chose Kiana Lodge for our special day! If we had the chance to choose again we would absolutely choose Kiana Lodge one hundred times over!

Perfect PNW venue

Beautiful venue with a lot of space. Please note this venue books fast, over a year. We thought this venue really shows off the Pacific Northwest and the landscaping is gorgeous. There are just so many sections to marvel at. They have an area with the magical giant Pacific Northwest trees and greenery, they have a huge grassy lawn for mingling. Surrounding this lawn are beautifully potted plants, and the best part is they also have two gorgeous indoor spaces. I feel like it is so unknown if it will rain so it was very comforting to know that there is plenty of space to move inside. The reception is inside the garden atrium. It feels like a giant wooden green house with skylights. The Dance Floor is HUGE. I love to dance so that was important for me. For those who don’t like to dance there are also a lot of places to explore. I also want to give a shout out to the chef! He was able to create a special menu for us to highlight dishes from the Philippines. We got the flank steak with chimichurri and chicken inasal (a Filipino style marinade-if you haven’t had, please try. It has a wonderful citrus flavor to it) and tofu stir fry. The food exceeded our expectations. They can also do a whole roast pig. We sadly didn’t get this but I’m sure that would have tasted divine. They do have a guest minimum.

The Perfect PNW Venue

If you want the perfect PNW venue, look no further! Kiana Lodge is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is amazing.
We planned our wedding from out of state, and it was very important to us to have some sort of wedding coordinator. Kiana comes with one! Laura and Pam are true professionals. They made the process of scheduling the day stress-free, and completely understood when we had to move our date because of C19.
Also, I highly recommend hiring directly from their preferred vendors list. We assembled a dream team and the day was absolutely wonderful!

Beautiful and unique wedding venue

My (now) husband and I got married at Kiana recently and we cannot recommend this venue enough. We were planning a wedding in the midst of the pandemic and Pamela helped us through it all. The venue is a steal for the amount of space and view that you get. All of our guests could not stop raving and ranting about how much they love the venue! If you are looking for a beautiful and unique space to get married in, this venue is for you!

Gorgeous Venue with Fantastic Staff

My husband and I had to plan our wedding 3 times due to covid. That in and of itself is stressful. The staff at Kiana Lodge made that stress a little less by being so willing to work with us throughout the pandemic. The 3rd time we settled on a Sunday in mid April which turned out to have weather that felt like late June. If you love the venue but Saturday pricing is not in your budget take a look at Sunday pricing. A Sunday in April is only $1,500 for the venue, and the flowers planted at the venue were all in bloom. So pretty!

Pam Weatherill was our wedding coordinator assigned by Kiana and she was amazing! Without Pam things would not have run near as smooth as they did. She is fantastic and did an incredible job of setting up the ceremony, reception, cake table, etc better than I even had in my mind. Pam kept everyone in line including the DJ who started to get a bit ahead of himself in the schedule. Pam thought of everything down to having d'oeuvre and champagne ready for us during the wedding certificate signing. The bartender did and awesome job and the wedding party all said he did a great job. At the end of the evening they cleaned everything up, packaged up the cake, and washed all our shot glasses/toasting glasses, cake stands, etc before put them in the boxes to come home. Prior to the wedding Pam was very accommodating in allowing us to bring items over to the venue a couple of days in advance to store.

One of the things we heard repeatedly at and after the wedding is what a beautiful venue it was. Between the view and the staff I would highly recommend Kiana Lodge. They will not disappoint.

Amazing Venue

Amazing waterfront venue with incredible views, ridiculously delicious food (who knew we loved vegan lasagna! seriously!?!) and gorgeous areas for photographs. This is a perfect place to host a wedding or event. Brittany and Pam are two of the many incredible staff members we worked with and they went above and beyond in their customer service, especially during the crazy and strenuous times of COVID. It's also only a 2 minute shuttle ride to the clearwater casino resort and one of the top rated golf courses in WA state (White Horse) which makes this a perfect location for you and all of your guests. We cannot recommend this place enough!

Beautiful venue and wonderful staff!

We had our wedding at the Kiana Lodge in November and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful, the food was great, and Pam was such a huge help to us throughout the planning process; always following up with us and making herself available for any questions we had. The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly, we had so much help from her and the staff that myself and our bridal party/family were able to just enjoy the day, and not worry about anything else. Would not change anything about the venue or the wonderful people running it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Disco Royale Disco Royale Wedding DJs

Disco Royale has had the pleasure to have provided music at Kiana Lodge about a dozen times over the past decade, and each time has been a magical experience. The staff there are courteous and professional, yet relaxed and friendly, and the scenic beauty of the venue, situated as it is between a coniferous forest and beautiful Agate Passage, is simply breathtaking. My crew and I always feel fortunate when we get the call to provide music at Kiana. In a word, enchanting.

Every Last Detail Every Last Detail Wedding Planners

As an experienced wedding planner, I have recommended this venue to my clients several times. It's perfect for anyone wanting a "Pacific Northwest" style wedding! My clients are always blown away by the beauty of the property, and they love the fact that it's not a public property so we get it "to ourselves" for their time slot on the wedding day. The rates are so reasonable that most of my clients will actually book both time slots and have it all day! I have planned and coordinated more than a dozen weddings at this venue over the past decade and all have been wonderful, beautiful and memorable. I love hearing the guests comment upon arrival about how amazing the venue is. The staff is always friendly and helps me out wherever I need it. They are easy to reach and communicate with in the days leading up to the event for any last minute requests or changes. While the food is not "gourmet" or stuffy, it is always really good and they will work with you on custom options if you need it. Don't miss out on the salmon! The best I've ever had. Kiana's food and beverage pricing is excellent and well below most of the other venues I work with. it's a great value! Nothing beats a sunny afternoon at Kiana with the immaculate grounds, well kept flower planters and flower beds, the gorgeous waterfront and nice large lawn for the ceremony and cocktail hour. And even in rain, the indoor ceremony option is wonderful due to all of the natural light coming in. Also if it rains, there are covered walkways with glass ceilings to use for outdoor photos or just to keep guests dry when moving from building to building. I will continue to sing their praises and refer clients to Kiana Lodge for years to come! Thanks Pam and Laura! You guys always go above and beyond for my clients and I appreciate you!
