Our Friday Harbor, WA area wedding venue has 82 acres of opportunities for you to choose your perfect site. A grassy point in the middle of a lake, a daisy-filled meadow, in the midst of a grove of tall, tall trees. Your day, your way!

Our island has a wealth of talented vendors. However, they book quickly. Click here for a list of our preferred vendors. Most are very familiar with our property, adding a welcome level of convenience on your special day.

Your Ceremony Package includes a one-hour rehearsal at no additional cost. This will be provided at a time that does not interfere with other booked events. The rehearsal specified time will be confirmed 60 days prior to the wedding. If you would like to have a rehearsal dinner in the Lodge, there is an additional facility fee.

Usually we encourage the use of the Lakehouse and/or one of the guestrooms near the Great Room.

 Please do!!! We have beautiful views all over the property.

Yes. We are happy to distribute gift bags to your guests as they check in. There is a $2 fee per bag for this service. If you would prefer the bags be put in the guestrooms, the fee is $3 per bag.

Depending on the season and where you’d like the ceremony and reception to take place on the property, we can accommodate between 80 and 200 guests.

No. Lakedale does not have an in-house caterer. We allow you to bring in any licensed, bonded caterer of your choosing. Our kitchen is only licensed to heat and serve food, not to be used as a cooking facility so caterers need to prepare the food offsite prior to their arrival at Lakedale. We offer a list of reputable local caterers or you may choose someone from off island for your reception.

Lakedale offers beer and wine for purchase at our general store. We do not provide hard alcohol or bartending services for events. All open bars need to have a licensed bartender. The team at Lakedale would be happy to assist in locating products and bartending services.

Linens are not provided. Most caterers are able to supply these for you.

You may make deposit payments by credit card.

All purchases are subject to a 8.1% Washington State sales tax. The Facility Fee includes all set up, clean up, and labor fees for bartenders, and our team members. If you would like to leave a gratuity for the bartender, event coordinators, or any other team member, they would be most appreciative, although it is not necessary. You may arrange for envelopes with the event coordinator, who will be most discreet in accommodating your request.

For best availability, room blocks should be reserved at time of contract. Rooms remaining in the group block after a certain date will be returned to the resort’s general inventory for sale. Additional group room requests will be honored at the wedding party rate on a space and rate availability basis. Please review guestroom needs carefully, as guestrooms that have been reserved, but are not used will be charged to the wedding party.

We currently do not allow pets in our Lodge Rooms but you can bring approved pets to stay in our Log Cabins.

Check in time is after 4:00 p.m. and check out time is before 11:00 a.m.

Yes. You can charter a private boat for quick transportation or just for fun. A quick 50-minute boat ride from Anacortes is a great way to travel to and from San Juan Island, skip the ferry lines, and enjoy the opportunity to be out on the water creating new memories with family and friends. Enjoy a whale-watching excursion on the way over! Please ask your hotel contact for our list of charter boat options.

Parking at Lakedale is complimentary.
