When Daniel and I started talking about marriage and then a wedding, we both told each other that we had envisioned getting married at a beach. There is a timeless beauty about the outdoors, and something so romantic about a gorgeous waterfront. Though our ceremony will not be taking place in a church, it is very important to us that God be centered in our marriage, and how better to worship God then to be surrounded by His majestic creation?
The ceremony will be held at:
Sunset Hill Park
7531 34th Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98117
It is basically a lawn that sits on a 300 foot bluff with a spectacular view of the Bay, the Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. 

The  reception will be held at Golden Gardens Bathhouse  (a five minute drive from the ceremony).The ceremony and reception sites are approximately 15 minutes from downtown Seattle, and approximately 40 minutes from the Sea-Tac airport.

The bathhouse was built in 1929 for the purpose of providing storage facilities, lockers, and changing rooms for lifeguards and beach goers. The building was renovated in 2004. Anyone who knows me (Amber) well knows of my love for just about anything made of brick. I love quaint, charming buildings with character, of which the Bathhouse does not fall short. Not only do I love the high ceilings, french doors, and brick walls; the view is also stunning. The bathhouse sits on a sandy beach (there are not many of those in Seattle), facing the Puget Sound dotted with sailboats, with a backdrop of the bay and the mountains. To the east is a classic Northwest forested hillside. 
Fun Facts: The Golden Gardens Bathhouse will always be a special place to us because it is where our engagement occurred. Also, the fact that it was built during the Depression era inspired our vintage theme of the the wedding.
