History

Novelty Hill and Januik are two separate wineries that began a partnership in 2000, now sharing a destination tasting room. Mike Januik met with Novelty Hill owners Tom and Judi to consult about a new vineyard, establishing a winemaking helm in Walla Walla. They eventually moved to Woodinville’s warehouse district in 2002 before creating the stylish, state-of-the-art facility that the two wineries share today.

Beautiful venue

The architecture of the venue is spectacular and the lower garden where we held our ceremony is stunning. The team at Novelty Hill, specifically Maysanne, was super responsive to all our inquiries leading up to the event. It unexpectedly rained on our wedding day, and Maysanne helped us work out a contingency plan that may have been even better than our original plan. The food and wine were a great value and we enjoyed the selection of wines that were available for our wine package. Overall, it was super easy planning a wedding at Novelty Hill and we're incredibly pleased with how the day turned out!

Our wedding was perfect

If you are thinking of having a winery wedding, GO HERE! Maysanne and team are the best in the business. It was so nice having basically everything handled for you... food wine chairs tables.... you name it. Our guests loved everything and I am so glad our choice was the right one. Thank you for making our day perfect.

NHJ - Amazing Venue & Team

Liz and her team at NHJ are so knowledgeable and helpful with all the options of spaces for the big day. We especially loved their in house culinary team - our guests are still talking about that meal! NHJ also offers the option of using in house tables, chairs, linens, and almost everything you need so you can really allocate where you spend your money and the venue is so pretty that it doesn’t need much to make it a memorable experience.

Beautiful venue. Delicious food. Amazing staff.

Januik Winery is the most beautiful, elegant, modern venue in seattle and greater seattle area. There’s so much you can do to the space or just leave it as is and it would still be stunning. The wine is incredible and they have great options for non-wine drinkers as well. The food was absolutely INSANE!! The best wedding food I’ve ever had and I still have guests messaging me about how incredible it was. It’s all done in house so no need to worry about a caterer. They also have great indoor and outdoor options that can be decided day of if needed which is great with our lovely Washington weather :) the team and staff are also so kind and incredible to work with. I’d rank them 100 out of 5 stars if I could.

Wonderful venue!

Would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a wedding at a winery in Woodinville. Staff was great to work with, and if you get the top package it comes with a planner (not just day of). Food was delicious and the wine was of course wonderful. Many guests commented that it was the best food they had had at a wedding. It was great to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all in the same venue but at different areas within the venue. It flowed very seamlessly between the phases of the wedding and there was no turnover required. Would totally recommend this venue!!

Best place to have a wedding. I work at a corporate event planning company, so having a well run venue and staff was very important to me for my wedding. Emily Pollock and the team at Novelty Hill Januik Winery Are top notch. Everything from the tastings, the rehearsal dinner and the actual wedding day was seamlessly executed. I know all about the work and logistics that goes on behind the scenes and the Novelty Hill team doesn't miss a beat. When I wasn't sure about a decision, Emily had option a,b and c all lined up for me. When I realized I might have missed a detail or step, Emily had already brought it to my attention with a solution all worked out. The minute I walked into the venue on my wedding day with a bundle of nerves, it all fell away because I just felt I was in the most capable of hands. I was so relaxed the whole day! Even my bridal party...my father...and all my guests kept telling me how amazing the venue was and how attentive the staff was. So many guests told me that was the most well run wedding they had ever seen! Who knew that would stick out in their mind the most. I also get "best wedding food ever" compliments to this day. And it felt great to serve such amazing wine at my wedding too. Hands down best decision I made for my wedding day was having it here.

This was a wonderful venue. Emily Pollock, the coordinator, was always responsive and very well organized. She was very easy to work with. The kitchen was phenomenal and the menu tasting was fantastic, ran smoothly and the kitchen was very flexible in terms of turning any dish you wanted into a main or appetizer, etc. The wait staff was quick, professional and approachable. It was an incredibly inclusive venue where you got a lot from the price and only had to do one stop shopping. The only tiny complaint I have is that they should be more careful in their recommendations of the very few other vendors needed for the wedding day. Otherwise, they made everything so smooth and we felt, correctly, that we were in incredibly capable hands!

I can't say enough good things about our experience having our wedding ceremony and reception at Novelty Hill Januik. Emily and the entire staff were amazing to work with. She anticipated issues and responded to all of our questions and concerns in a very timely manner. On our rehearsal day, all of my wedding stresses were put to ease when Emily took over and directed our rehearsal, wrangling groomsmen and bridesmaids into perfect order. Our wedding day went smoothly and I never worried about a thing. Planning the wedding was so much easier knowing we had someone who was willing to help and answer questions. I highly recommend them to anyone planning their wedding. Our guests were also in awe of the location and winery. It's gorgeous!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
