Reviews of The Empress Estate
Review summary
The Empress Estate is highly praised by multiple reviewers for providing a seamless and stress-free wedding experience. The venue is described as beautiful, with stunning landscapes and various ceremony spots, allowing for a fairy-tale wedding setting. The staff, including event coordinators like Kim and Sarah, are commended for their professionalism, helpfulness, and attention to detail. Reviewers appreciate the inclusivity of all-inclusive packages, catering, and cake options offered by the venue, making the planning process smooth and efficient. The venue's picturesque grounds, accommodating staff, and personalized service are highlighted as key factors in creating unforgettable wedding memories.
The Empress made our wedding unforgettable!
The venue itself is stunning, and the staff is incredibly attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly. They are also very transparent about their contracts, making everything easy to understand. I appreciated their monthly payment plan, which alleviated financial stress leading up to the big day.
One of the features I liked is the flexibility in guest count; you can finalize numbers just a month before the event. This is a huge advantage compared to hiring third-party catering.
Lastly, I highly recommend considering their preferred vendors as they know very well how the Empress operates. I especially recommend Stevie, the florist—she's both affordable and talented.
Overall, The Empress made our wedding unforgettable!
Beautiful place
A fun getaway from urban Washington ~ !

Beautiful Estate overlooking the Columbia River. The owners and employees are active in each event to ensure a quality function.
The Empress Estate is by far, the most elegant wedding venue in the area. As the owner and chauffeur of a classic wedding limo, I have the opportunity to see a number of different venues and the Empress Estates is one of the best. I have done a number of weddings and photo shoots with Stevie and Zoe and they are great people to work with. You will really enjoy having your wedding at the Empress. White Cloud Luxury Cars
