Wedding Venue Review: Tibbetts Creek Manor, An Issaquah wedding venue

Jennifer & Ivan's wedding was my first trip to Tibbetts Creek Manor in Issaquah. It is located off of I-90 and very accessible from the freeway. Tibbetts Creek Manor is a beautiful facility, which offers indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options. This is a great option for the Pacific Northwest's unpredictable weather patterns.

The dressing areas are upstairs and private. Although they are located not far from the main entrance, the winding staircase separates the guests' entrance from the private quarters. Restrooms are located on both floors which avoids having the bride, groom and their bridal party from being seen by guests before the ceremony begins. Who wants to ruin the element of suprise?

There is ample room in the kitchen onsite. Tables, chairs, and linens are available as well. Two parking areas are also available for your guests. The site is also wheelchair accessible. For more information, please visit the Issaquah Parks and Rec department's website.

Love From High School Is Alive & Happy! (Jennifer & Ivan's Issaquah wedding)

Ivan and Jennifer married Saturday, June 20th at Tibbetts Creek Manor in beautiful Issaquah. Ivan and Jennifer connected with me after reading about me on theknot.com's message board. (A current couple that I am working with for their August wedding gave me great praise!) Just a few days after initially contacting me, I knew that this couple was going to be great to work with.

Ivan and Jennifer were high school sweethearts and have been together ever since. They've grown individually and as a couple and have shared in many special moments. Their celebration at Tibbetts Creek Manor was spectacular! They incorporated family and friends into their celebration, from the bridal party to the unity candle lighting. Once again, there was iffy weather that weekend (isn't it SUPPOSED TO BE nice in June??) but Jennifer and Ivan were prepared. They had both an outdoor and covered areas as options for their celebration. Great idea!

Luckily for us, the weather behaved and we had dry weather. The ceremony took place on the lawn, with over 120 guests in attendance. Because of the importance Jennifer's parents have been in her life, she opted to have both her mother and father escort her down the isle to present her to her groom. There were very few dry eyes all throughout the ceremony.

The guests who attended were a mixture of family and friends who had become family. Many people in attendance had known them over the years and played important roles in their formative years. There was definately a lot of love surrounding this couple!

Congratulations, again, Jenny and Ivan! May your wedding day be the day that you always look back upon with a smile.
