My wife and I got married here yesterday and let me tell you, THIS PLACE IS WORTH THE MONEY! They…read morewere so open to working with us on everything. It's a very well maintained venue and that was very obvious to us and all of our guests. Everyone kept raving about how beautiful it was, along with me and my wife. We were so happy with how the day went and can't wait for our wedding photos to be done so we can see how gorgeous everything turned out from behind the camera lens! Thank you Port Gamble Weddings & Events for making the most important day of our lives so perfect.

We were married at this spot 12 years ago and things have certainly changed. The layout of the…read moreproperty is different, and some things feel more cramped, less spacious and open. There is also more gravel rather than lawn, which limits the usable space of the "backyard". The water views are still lovely and the bushes, flowers, shrubbery nice and well-maintained. Years ago, we were unable to use our own caterers without a lot of negotiation, additional costs and proof of insurance, not to mention covering the costs of the caterers transportation (which we offered to do). The staff over a decade ago felt impersonal and stand-offish, unfriendly and not wishing to be bothered by confirming reservations, nor addressing any questions we had in regards to our wedding day and the property. I hope things have gotten better, and that the people one works with now are more communicative, friendly and happy/willing to help.

Melanie is an artist with her floral arrangements. I was a bride on a budget, but I also have fancy…read moretaste, so finding Melanie's pocketbook-friendly flowers was a god-send! I was able to buy all the floral arrangements I wanted/needed at a fraction of the cost of other vendors. For those looking for a more personalized experience, Melanie does also do full wedding florals, but for me the a la carte options of the PBF was a perfect match. Even though we only spoke twice on the phone, she captured the exact look and feel I was going for with my flowers. I loved the minimalism of the drop vases and then supplemented that with the Aisle to Table flowers. I loved that these were designed for the transition from ceremony to reception without having to purchase separate flowers for each part of the wedding. They truly turned out amazing and were exactly what I wanted!

What a terribly run place!…read more I placed an order for a gift to be delivered 10 days in advance - they "missed" the order, written on the back of another order and never delivered it. When I called about it they offered to send something later still!!! They clearly cannot be counted on to deliver when they say they will - complete scatterbrain who is totally unreliable. I will NEVER count on anything from them again.

For the last four years, I've been hoping for a chance to have Ambrosia cater one of our family…read morecelebrations. When we started planning our son's baptism, I actually scheduled the reception around their availability because I knew it would be worth the wait. From the beginning, Ronda was so kind, genuine, and wonderful to work with. She made us feel like she truly cared about making our family's day special. Our reception was at Courter Country Farm, and even the venue had nothing but wonderful things to say about Ambrosia. After experiencing it ourselves, I completely understand why. The food was incredible. Every single thing was exactly what we had envisioned, and guests kept coming up to tell us how amazing everything tasted. The prime rib was hands down the best I've ever had. That's saying something because I make prime rib every Christmas and consider myself pretty picky (especially my husband)! Somehow Ronda managed to make it even better, and her horseradish sauce had the perfect spicy kick that we absolutely loved. What stood out most, though, wasn't just the food, it was how much heart went into everything. You could tell this wasn't just another catering job. It felt like she genuinely wanted our family and friends to have a beautiful experience, and she delivered exactly that. Our son's baptism is a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives, and Ambrosia played a huge part in making it so memorable. We felt incredibly blessed to celebrate with so many people we love while serving food that everyone is still talking about. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on Ambrosia's calendar, don't hesitate. I completely understand why they're booked so far in advance, and after waiting four years myself, I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation. I'll be sharing photos soon, but I couldn't wait to write this review. Thank you, Ronda, for helping make one of the most meaningful days in our family's life even more special.

We were lucky enough to do the 3 course Valentine's Day dinner with dessert and a bottle of wine !…read moreIt cost $95 which was totally worth it. We got a yummy salad with homemade ranch, crab dip with heart shaped baguettes, tri tip steak which I wish was a little more medium rare then well but that's just me , mashed potato's, green beans with bacon and some delicious Carmel apple crisp ! Everything was so perfect ! We ate the entire thing. Saved the wine since we like a little bit sweeter wines but are excited to try this one . Everything was adorable with the heart shaped crisps and bread. We are so great-full that we found this wonderful place. The customer service was outstanding and definitely went above and beyond . I drove from port orchard to poulsbo during the snow to get here which was worth it ! Thank you for amazing service !

I want to give these folks a super shoutout…read more This holiday season hasn't felt very festive, but my daughter discovered the 'make tour own wreath' area here at the Garden Center. She took me here fir a mom and daughter date after work ten days ago. There were two crimping stations and several different sizes fir wreaths and swags. You pick your size and then you get to select from dozens of types of greens, cones, branches and more to build a custom wreath. I thought it would be harder than it was. Once you get started, it quickly becomes easier. The tough part is deciding what you want your wreath to look like. Good thing there are several examples to provide inspiration. The stations are in a covered outside area and masks were required. Heaters would help, but they are in such short supply. You can also bring i to your own snacks and beverages but we didn't know that. Next time we will! This was a great experience on all levels and now I have a beautiful unique wreath that is LESS expensive than the undecorated ones you can pick up at a home improvement store or a grocery store. Loved this!
