Blog Post: Are you searching for a beautiful garden venue with a historic mansion? Marybeth and Brandon’s wedding at Sanders Estate was nothing short of extraordinary. Every moment overflowed with joy, laughter, and heartfelt celebration. In the estate’s enchanting gardens, they said “I do” surrounded by their closest family and friends, creating memories to last a lifetime.

The dinner menu continued the celebration with dishes that blended elegance and comfort. A blackberry and champagne vinaigrette salad with delicate greens, local chèvre, and vanilla-chipotle spiced pecans opened the meal, followed by entrées such as citrus-marinated chicken breast with avocado-lime relish (GF/DF) and Asian-inspired braised beef short rib with umami redux and vegetable slaw. For vegetarian options, guests enjoyed truffle macaroni and cheese with brown butter panko crusting (Veg) and a lemon and chive orzo salad with goat cheese and arugula (Veg), complemented by Pike Place Market-style grilled vegetables finished with fleur de sel (Vegan). Artisan breads with herb-infused olive oil and balsamic vinegar completed the feast, offering a perfect mix of refined flavors and seasonal ingredients.

With blooming gardens, sparkling fountains, rolling hills, and serene wooded glens, Sanders Estate provided a truly picture-perfect backdrop — the ideal setting for their portraits and an unforgettable day. We are so happy for these two as they begin their next adventure together!

Looking for a beautiful venue in Seattle? Check out the Seattle Design Center. ✨

We had the joy of being part of this incredible spring fundraiser and gala. As guests stepped into The Seattle Design Center, they were welcomed with delicious passed appetizers and a stunning view of the atrium, featuring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and beautifully curated event décor.

Friends of the Children is an inspiring organization that provides mentorship to local youth, “Impacting generational change by supporting youth facing the greatest life obstacles in our community through relationships with paid professional mentors for 12+ years—no matter what.”

Guests were invited to visit the Sky Bridge at The Seattle Design Center, a stunning glass-enclosed space offering views of the city and the stars above. The Sky Bridge appetizers included an elegant selection of passed bites, including red wine poached pear and gorgonzola mousse crostini with hazelnut dust and micro herbs, smoked salmon cucumber canapés with jalapeño-scallion mascarpone, and modern Caprese tarts featuring tomato jam, basil-marinated fresh mozzarella, and crisp fried prosciutto.

In the main atrium, guests enjoyed a vibrant selection of passed bites, including bulgogi beef lettuce wraps with pickled vegetables and gochujang aioli, miniature citrus-poached white fish tacos with orange olive salsa and chimichurri crema, and modern Caprese tarts with tomato jam, basil-marinated fresh mozzarella, and crisp fried prosciutto.

We had so much fun hosting our Blue Ribbon Open House and Tasting! Set on sparkling waterfront of Lake Union, the evening was full of delicious food and inspiration from the moment guests walked through the door.

Guests mingled, sipped, and explored beautifully styled tablescapes while enjoying tray-passed bites like red wine poached pear crostini with gorgonzola mousse, bold bulgogi beef lettuce cups, bright shrimp & pineapple ceviche tostadas, and smoked salmon cucumber canapés.

As the evening unfolded, the flavors kept coming with standout entrées including braised beef short rib with marchand de vin, orange marmalade–miso glazed salmon, and Peruvian grilled chicken with aji verde — paired with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, lemongrass coconut rice pilaf, and savory polenta cake.
