Located less than two hours from Seattle on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula, The Resort at Port Ludlow is the ideal setting for an intimate destination wedding, a rehearsal dinner, a bridal getaway, or a grooms golf retreat. Situated on serene Ludlow Bay The Resort showcases the Pacific Northwest at its best -  offering breathtaking water and mountain views, waterfront lawns for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, a charming Inn, elegant view reception space, exquisite catering, acclaimed wine list, fireside dining, scenic marina and championship golf course. The Inn itself features 37 guestrooms perfect for your family and guests - Each room with gas fireplace and oversized Jacuzzi tub.

According to Susan Windle, Catering Coordinator at The Resort at Port Ludlow: "My favorite part of working with brides and grooms is ensuring that THEIR special day is flawless.   Going over the details and answering the questions beforehand so that on their wedding day, all they have to do is get ready, smile for photos and enjoy their friends and family ... and wake up the next morning with wonderful memories." 

We stand out in many ways:

·          Our food is of a high quality, Chef Dan keeps it simple and lets the flavors of the natural product come through.    As much of our produce is locally grown as possible.

·          The natural beauty of our area with views of snow-peaked mountains, calm waters, the marina, the trees, the wildlife all ensure a relaxing experience

·          The professionalism of our staff, both through experience and customer service

·          We remember that the wedding is all about the bride and groom and their family and friends ... it is not about making our job easier.   We work with the couple not against them.

·          We are a Resort, not a hotel.   We provide an overall experience rather than a place to stay.   We have a golf course, marina, 18 miles of walking trails, beaches, a fine dining restaurant, a jacuzzi tub in each guest room, in-house spa service.

When advising couples in selecting a venue, I would advise you to remember to trust your instincts.   You need to feel comfortable with the team you will be working with as well as the environment your guests will be experiencing.    And always remember that it is about YOU ... you don't have to compromise on what you want to make your wedding day a special memory.

Reception trends:

·          Keeping it simple with personal enhancements

·          Allocating budget for quality rather than quantity, especially food

·          Cupcakes with artistic, extravagant displays
