Novelty Hill/Januik Winery & Vendors

Novelty Hill • Januik Winery

Novelty Hill • Januik Winery – is two wineries under one winemaker, Mike Januik.  He is known as “Master of Merlot” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine and was at Ste Michelle for many years and left that to start his own winery in 1999.  So I was very excited to see the winery open and then to find out they were going to open it up for weddings, I was thrilled.  In 2008 both the AIA and the International Interior Design Association honored the winery’s interior architecture with prestigious awards.  As you see in the pictures it is a contemporary/modern space.

Here is what they say about themselves – “Novelty Hill • Januik Winery is an ideal location for a contemporary, intimate wedding celebration. From casual to elegant, our staff specializes in creating rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions that reflect the unique personality of each bride and groom.”

The food is another unforgettable experience, Chef Dan Koommoo is dedicated to fresh cuisine from sustainable resources, including organic fruits and vegetables from nearby Oxbow Farm, designed to complement Novelty Hill’s and Januik’s award-winning wines.  The menus are changed seasonally to reflect what is available and custom menus are available for your special day.  Speaking with experience this is the case, the staff truly loves to see the couple have an unforgettable experience and become a part of the Novelty Hill • Januik Winery family.

They are open daily from 11am to 5pm for wine tasting and on the weekends they do have brick oven working overtime with fabulous homemade pizzas.  So stop by for a glass of wine or two and a pizza and take a look around.  If it is nice outside the bocce balls will be ready.

L & M Chair Covers – Make a small change to make a lasting impression

 

Our company idea was created summer of 2003 when we had to plan our 425+ persons wedding at a well-known wedding facility in Seattle…but they had PINK stacking chairs and it definitely clashed with our orange/peach color theme. So we came up with a solution by renting white chair covers and matching white organza sashes for our special day. We started looking into it more seriously, and after much research looking on the web and calling around, we found only a few places that did linen rentals in Washington and some online companies from clear across the USA. The prices were not affordable. We resorted to ordering our chair covers from Vancouver, B.C. at half the price but had to drive 3 hours each way to pick-them up and return them…but we were willing to do whatever it took to make our day look like how we envisioned it.

Chair covers make a world of difference at your wedding or any other event. The extra costs are worth it because you will look back at your pictures and see how beautiful the chair covers made your place look. We can tell you from our experience that this was something that was definitely worth the time and money to do…especially on our once in a lifetime day…

In Summer of 2004, we decided to put that vision into reality and wanted to make it easier for anyone that was planning an event to be able to rent good quality and affordable chair covers in the Greater Northwest, thus the creation of: l & m chair covers.

We look forward to making your next event…more beautiful with our chair covers.
