Port Gamble Weddings & Events

Not enough space to write everything we want to about Port Gamble and their staff. We’ve come to love them! The venues are absolutely fairytale worthy. It was what we had always dreamed about for our wedding.
All the staff worked so hard to make our day wonderful. Even in the last weeks when I, the bride, felt like I was emailing them every day, several times a day to make confirmations and changes to times, rentals, decorations, bla bla bla, the staff was flawless. They made every effort to make our day easier including generously allowing us to decorate the pavilion the day before our big day as there happened to be no other events that weekend; a special circumstance they allowed that probably was the reason I didn’t go insane that weekend.
We couldn’t ask for more.
Thank you for your dedication and a beautiful place to remember our wedding.

I’m on the board of a local Non-​profit and we recently held a silent auction and dance at the Pavilion. The facility is top notch, beautiful, well maintained and our guest were amazed by the gorgeous location and view. The price was reasonable, but more than that, the staff
(we worked with Julie and Dionne) were AMAZING. We have used other venues that were similar in price, but with many restrictions and odd rules. We would use this venue again in a heartbeat. You have to see it in person to really appreciate how lively it is and how accommodating the staff is. It’s a perfect event space.

My husband and I got married here about a year and a half ago. The staff was always SO nice! I called all the time with questions and they were always willing to stop and talk to me and answer all my questions in detail. The church was so beautiful! It didn’t take much decorations at all. We went with AA party rentals to decorate for the reception. They were really great as well!
I am so happy we chose this place to get married. I would recommend this place to anyone! :)

First Impression: Professional, attentive, kind, workable, relaxed, calming, and reliable. My husband and I had our wedding during Veterans Day weekend in 2014. During our original consultation with Eric Ayala at Port Gamble we considered the venue a year out. A week later something came up and we had to request the venues three months away. Eric was extremely workable and got us on the calendar without delay. They made sure we knew all local options for vendors and assisted in contacting them with us. Any questions we had they were prompt and precise in getting our information.
During all of our planning and preparation Eric and Dionne made the experience relieving and easier than expected. When we asked for access to the venue with other vendors or requested time with either of them, they were always available during the weekend and always ready for our late arrivals if we missed the ferry, etc. Eric always welcomed us with a huge hello, welcoming smile, and hug.
During the big day, Dionne tirelessly ran around between the St. Paul’s Church, Pavilion, and General Store to make sure our wedding party was being taken care of had all the access we needed. The set up was done exactly how we asked with their professional touch and adjustments. They handled every last minute decision with great ease and consistently made us feel relaxed. Eric was awesome with coordinating and managing the ceremony and reception and ensured all of the guests had the time of their life. During clean up Eric was extremely nice and took care of everything.
The view of the Pavilion is perfect for wedding events and the scenic background adds the extra shock and awe. The church is unique and quaint and gives a very intimate moment to your big day. (Make sure you ask to ring the bell when you get married!)
Port Gamble Weddings is worth every penny and Eric and Dionne are a must have to share the experience with. Due to Eric and Dionne, our wedding ended up being one of the greatest I and our guests have ever seen. Definitely consider this professional for your special day, business conferences, or other large events.

My sister and brother in law had their wedding and reception at the Port Gamble church and pavilion. I assisted my sister with all of the planning and coordinating for the big day. The staff, especially Eric and Pete, were amazing. They were very helpful and accommodating when it came to set up and take down and also with the transition from ceremony to reception. During a pre wedding meeting my sister left her phone inside the church and one of the employees offered to drive it down to Port Orchard for her so she didn’t have to make the trip back up! Very helpful.
The venues themselves were gorgeous. There were minimal decorations needed since the church itself was exquisite on its own. Both the pavilion and the church were VERY clean upon arrival and the staff was prompt to open the doors at the scheduled time. I would definitely recommend this venue for anyone looking for a cute, classy wedding and reception in this area.

This was a beautiful location for our wedding reception earlier this month. The staff was great to work with, both in planning our wedding and providing support during the wedding and reception. Thanks for helping to make our wedding great!

I came here to attend a retirement ceremony here during the summer. I can’t think of a more picturesque setting for special events like this and weddings, especially during the summer. The view of the hood canal, the Olympic peninsula, and Foulweather bluff are fantastic. And nothing can beat the refreshing sea breeze while basking in the warmth of the sun. The event hall is very spacious with windows all around, giving you a full view of the beautiful scenery. The lawn is well maintained and provides a great place for a reception. As an added bonus: after the festivities, you can get some great BBQ at Mike’s Four Star BBQ down the street!

Very beautiful lawn for an outdoor wedding.
Nice indoor facility as well.
