A large, commercial kitchen is also located on-site for your catering team and waitstaff to use as they wish.

Beautiful venue

What a gorgeous venue to host our wedding! Our guests were all commenting on how stunning the venue is. We loved the variety of spaces to keep the ceremony, dinner & dancing all distinct but still cohesive. The coordinators are easy to work with and communicative, and the space offers a lot so you don't have to rent everything!

a gorgeous setting

We got lots of compliments on the setting of our wedding at Lairmont! The manor itself has gorgeous detail, windows and architecture which made for beautiful photos. The grounds were stunning with trees, tulips, and even an eagle's nest, with an eagle soaring overhead before our ceremony. The staff were communicative, responsive, helpful and kind throughout our process with them. Compared to venues in Seattle, Lairmont was a great price, especially if you book on a weekday or off season. We had to shift our wedding from indoor to outdoor on short notice, and the staff flowed with the change graciously. We will never forget the beautiful experience we had here!

Beautiful venue + Amazing Customer Service

We loved booking Lairmont Manor for our wedding! They were really incredible to work with through the pandemic. We had originally booked a 2020 date, moved it to 2021, and then moved again to 2022...they let us use the space for free in 2020 for a small ceremony, which was incredibly meaningful. We then had our larger wedding celebration in June 2022. It was so beautiful and went so smoothly. We had the ceremony near the fountain, dinner outside under the tent and dancing and dessert inside. The manor and gardens are so beautiful we felt we didn't even need many decorations or extra flowers. We took many great photos in different areas with our wedding party. The groomsmen area to get ready is pretty small, but the bridal party area is so nice! It is downstairs with leather couches, a makeup counter and bathroom.

Great Service

This venue is GORGEOUS and was perfect for our 1920s theme wedding. DJ was extremely flexible with all of our asks and generally responded to us in a quick and timely manner. We had one issue the day of that was frustrating, but as soon as DJ was made aware she did everything she could to resolve the matter. The place is beautiful and had a lot to offer including a full kitchen, bar, lots of furniture pieces, and some dishes and flatware for those who want/need. We booked a weekday wedding and saved a lot, well worth the savings for us and more than worth the price!

The perfect venue.

We were thrilled to get to celebrate our wedding at Lairmont Manor! The location is amazing and the venue and grounds are absolutely stunning. Having an outdoor ceremony was important to us and the gardens added so much color to the day and our photos.
DJ is the absolute best to work with! She is kind, easy going and extremely knowledgable. She seemed invested from the first time we met her and I really loved how excited she was for us to have our wedding there! She and Kismet were quick to respond to our emails leading up to the wedding and day of were there to help.
Would highly recommend this venue, and DJ is an absolute dream!

Our dream wedding venue!

We cannot recommend the Lairmont enough! We were married there last Friday, and we received SO many compliments on the venue - people loved it, and so did we! It requires no further decoration, the grounds and manor are absolutely stunning. D.J., Kismet, and the rest of the staff are a pleasure to work with, and very responsive. The gorgeous grand piano is the cherry on top! We loved the slightly raised stage for our first (tango) dance, and the ballroom was the perfect size for dancing the night away.

Enchanting Wedding Venue

This venue was a dream come true! The lush English garden, architecture, and the overall ambiance was like from a movie. The staff was professional and experienced, and it was very easy to work with them. The morning of our wedding was raining, and I was so worried about our timeline, but the staff was so quick with a plan B just in case the rain would continue into the afternoon. It actually ended up being great, the rain stopped, and the sun shinned bright just in time for the ceremony. It was magical!

What a wonderful venue! The manor itself is very old and full of character - leather bound books, oil paintings, busts, a grand piano, chaises and floral printed chairs. My sister said she felt like she was in The Great Gatsby when we were getting ready downstairs. DonnaJoy (DJ) Kent, our venue coordinator was great with all of my questions throughout the year, the contract was very clear, and she worked well with all vendors.

Our rental included use of main floor and downstairs of the manor, the gardens where we had our ceremony, the pavillion where we had cocktail hour, and the giant reception tent where we held dinner. It also included plates, flatware, tables, and chairs. 4 large mobile heaters were included in the rental, which kept our October and mostly outdoor event cozy.

There is a caterer's kitchen available for an extra $500, but we had woodfired pizza and the pizza oven was parked outside so we didn't have to pay this. This fee is also waived if you use their caterer.

This venue used to be a convent, and the outside had so many beautiful details (statues, flowers, architecture) that we really didn't need decoration or florals for the ceremony area.

DJ let us use the caterer fridge to store our flowers and cake the day before, which was super helpful. We had some odd requests, and where they could be accomodating, the Lairmont team was.

If you are looking for a venue that will go above and beyond your expectations, then look no further. My husband and I got married here a couple of weeks ago, and we're still receiving messages about how beautiful the venue was. My favorite comment was, "I felt like I was at a party in the English countryside!" The LM team is exceptional- they think of every single detail and there is a lot included with the rental fee which relieves a lot of stress. Throughout the year of planning, I reached out numerous times with random questions, and D.J. always responded promptly and warmly. The day of, Kismet was our onsite coordinator and she was phenomenal as well. In the spirit of full transparency, we were initially torn between two venues but ultimately chose Lairmont because we knew a great day would be guaranteed. We were not wrong, and we're so grateful for them! Thank you, D.J. and Kismet :)

I'm from Vancouver & husband from Boston and we chose Lairmont because of how beautiful the property is - we especially loved the gardens and how well taken care of the property is; it accommodates everything you could want in an outdoor or indoor wedding. It was truly the most incredible experience working with Lairmont & especially DJ. She's responsive, helpful and a dream partner - we were planning long distance and DJ went above and beyond, sending us detailed emails and floorplans to pictures and videos of the property and setup. I can't thank DJ or the Lairmont staff enough for how easy and wonderful they made our day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Lairmont Manor is a beautiful location with both indoor and outdoor options for the bride & groom. The grounds are so nicely taken care of that the need for other decoration is minimal. The tent that is up for summer weddings is perfect for the NW and almost always guarantees a beautiful sunny day! We have worked with Lairmont for many years and have always had a wonderful experience. They will take care of you from day you book to the day you walk down the aisle!
