Stunning Views and Perfect Retreat Setting…read more I recently stayed at Sacred Waters Retreat Center for a group weekend retreat, and the location is absolutely spectacular. The property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Hood Canal and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the main hall provided an excellent space for our group activities. The landscaping is beautifully maintained and really enhances the natural beauty of the property. For the price point, this place offers excellent value--you really can't beat the combination of affordability and those stunning water and mountain views. Special shoutout to Lois, the landscaper, who was absolutely wonderful and clearly takes great pride in maintaining the grounds! If you're looking for an affordable retreat space with spectacular scenery and solid facilities, Sacred Waters is a great choice. The natural beauty of the location is truly unforgettable.

Beautiful setting, completely updated 1920s log lodge, great vibe/ambience, and supportive (not smothering) staff. Bonus: Chef Traecy (spelling?) and crew have done their best to serve fresh, local food that accommodates all dietary needs. How does it taste so good?

Their team delivered a stellar campaign video, on a very demanding timeline (I do mean very demanding...I'm cringing right now writing this review just thinking about the task I put them through).

It is conveniently located right off the freeway, so I wasn't hesitant to host clients there.

The most unflappable human in the Seattle wedding industry…read moreI've been a wedding photographer for 13 years. I've worked with a lot of planners. BreeAnn at Pink Blossom Events is genuinely in a category of her own. I first met her in 2014 and we've partnered on countless weddings since -- several of which have been published, including a recent feature in Washington Wedding Day magazine. She's been a Seattle wedding planner since 2006 and she knows absolutely everyone in this industry. That experience and those relationships show up in real ways for her clients. But here's what I really want you to know: she is unflappable. Like, legitimately. Things can go sideways on a wedding day -- and sometimes they do -- and BreeAnn calmly puts it all back together before anyone even notices something happened. That skill is rare. It is such a gift. Every time one of my couples tells me they've hired Pink Blossom Events, I exhale. Their wedding is going to be well-managed, the details are handled, and they actually get to enjoy their day instead of stressing through it. Highest possible recommendation. Book her. -- Becca Jones, B. Jones Photography

Not once did she make the tight timeline feel stressful--she handled every detail with such calm, confidence, and grace that I knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. BreeAnn and team created something even more beautiful than I ever imagined, giving me things I didn't even know I would love until I saw them come to life. Her eye for detail is incredible, and what meant the most to me was how thoughtfully she included my family--especially those who don't understand English. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and taken care of. Because of her and her team outstanding day-of planning, I was truly able to enjoy 100% of my special day without a single worry. BreeAnn handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that all I had to do was be present and soak in the moment. If you're looking for someone who is talented, dedicated, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about what she does, BreeAnn is the one. She went above and beyond for us, and I will forever be thankful for the magic she created. Highly, highly recommend!

This business didn't do anything to earn my business for my wedding next summer. Their prices…read moreonline are very deceiving. Somehow the taco bar for $13 per person comes out to nearly $4k for 100 people. When I called inquiring about what menu options we were interested in, I made it very clear which ones we wanted and emailed the information as well. It took over a week to receive the quotes, the quotes did not include everything that had been requested. Not to mention, the service charge for each quote was nearly as much as the food itself. I'm all of paying for services and their time, but the quote had the service time until 12am which why in the world would a caterer need to stay that late at a wedding? When I asked questions and inquired about receiving an updated quote, the owner responded in email with "I'm heading out of the office for the day, but will get back to you tomorrow." We never heard from her again. I was skeptical about this catering company to begin with as they had pretty questionable reviews, but after the experience we had, I am really glad we booked elsewhere. I gave them two stars and not one because I never actually tried their food.

This lady goes above and beyond for her brides. I booked her way back in 2018/19 for our August 2020 wedding. Due to COVID restrictions (which she kept us with for us) we had to postpone our reception twice and both times she kept up with our vendors to keep them informed. We didn't have to change any one of our vendors. They were all of our original picks. KaDeana was there for us through it all. We finally had our wedding in April 2022. I can't count all of the times we emailed, texted, or called back and fourth. She was on top of every detail. I can't imagine trying to plan everything by myself. She had so many unique ideas and suggestions. We are so happy with her services and all of the hard work she put in to make our day successful! Thanks KaDeana

If you are wedding planning; you want Tony on your team. My husband and I planned a Washington…read morewedding from Alaska during the COVID nightmare. Most of the communications with Tony was done via webcam since we weren't able to go back and forth to Washington. Tony was very responsive to everything and not only had plenty of ideas but he has the best ideas. If you pick him you unlock a world of possibilities for your ceremony and reception. Prior to having him I just thought I would pick a few songs, play the wedding quiz game and call it good. I was so wrong. Once I got to see his presentation ideas I knew we were in the best hands. There were multiple parts of our wedding that the guest had never seen before and moved them to tears, laughter and the best party opener after a year of masks and social distancing. He knows the right way to do everything in his lane and he pretty much becomes your day of coordinator, or their huge helper. He helped us with our floor plan and he always kept us informed on what was going to happen next. It felt like the wedding was a production. A Grammy winning production at that. The moment I realized we had made the best decision for our wedding by hiring Tony was as I was getting ready the day of. It was about three hours before the wedding and I was getting my hair done and just mentioned to my wedding party "Oh crap I hope Tony is able to set up and doesn't get lost or anything." My maid of honor said "umm... he's been here for a while and I am pretty sure he is all set up." He adds absolutely 0 stress the day of the wedding! Tony is very professional and his ultimate goal is to be there for you and your partner as well as keeping everyone involved and to have everyone leave at night saying "That DJ is my new best friend." I had so many comments after the weeding saying it was the best wedding they had been to. My Grandma and my friends are still commenting on how great Tony was. I can't say it enough: Pick Tony as your DJ and you will not regret it!

We truly can't say enough good things about Tony Schwartz as our wedding DJ. He was simply the best…read morewe could have hoped for--organized, efficient, and an absolute master of his craft. From the start, Tony took the time to understand our vision and our guests, helping us plan the perfect night. On the day of the wedding, Tony was professional, reliable, and absolutely nailed every detail. Everyone raved that it was the most fun dancing they'd ever experienced at a wedding. He kept everyone--from the young cousins to the older guests--on the dance floor all night, seamlessly blending timeless classics with modern hits and amazing remixes of both that kept everyone engaged, all while keeping our musical taste in mind. The energy never dipped once. He's by far the best wedding DJ we've ever experienced, and we wouldn't recommend anyone else to make your wedding an absolute blast. But Tony isn't just a DJ--he's an MC, and honestly, even part wedding planner. He came up with fantastic ideas to keep the evening flowing smoothly while still letting us stay in control of our creative vision. If you're deciding between a day-of coordinator or Tony, go with Tony. He handled every transition flawlessly--from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception--and his charismatic MC'ing elevated the entire vibe of the event. Everyone's vision is different, but after attending dozens of weddings and hearing from our guests, we've realized that if you're going to optimize one vendor, make it the DJ/MC. People may not remember the flowers or even the food, but they will remember the flow of the night, the energy, and the hours of music, dancing, and fun. From the bottom of our hearts--thank you, Tony, for making our wedding as fun, seamless, and memorable as possible!
