The following is a guest blog post from a former Weddings in Woodinville attendee on why she attends the tour every year and how she and her fiancé planned their wedding with the help of our vendors. Thank you Sarah!
When Devin and I got engaged, I knew for our wedding that I wanted our venue to be at a winery. Woodinville is the closest "wine country" so I did a quick google search for "woodinville wineries for weddings". That's how I discovered that there was a specific event that revolved around exactly what I was looking for: Weddings in Woodinville! I figured that since there was an event dedicated to promoting these specific venues for weddings, they must be the best! I used the list of venues as my initial baseline of potential wedding venues. When we visited these venues we fell in love with Januik. It was really reflective of our style and personalities. From there we looked at Januik's preferred vendor list and that's how we found our amazing wedding planner Jennifer Taylor at Taylor'd Events. We used Jennifer's preferred vendor list to research vendors for all aspects of our wedding (photographer, DJ, etc). We learned that the majority of the vendors we ended up choosing participate in Weddings in Woodinville. So I know for a fact that they only showcase the best of the best vendors at Weddings in Woodinville! These are the vendors that have proven to be outstanding in their category. A lot of times these vendors have worked together in the past, which really make your wedding day go seamless.
Weddings in Woodinville is like no other wedding show. I love that it's pretty much a wedding themed wine tour. It feels intimate and personal, not overwhelming and disconnected like most wedding shows. I love that you really get to explore all aspects of a wedding through a really unique experience. Each venue tells their own wedding story. It's so great to see each venue mocked up as a real wedding with a dedicated wedding planner that has picked out specific vendors for all aspects of the wedding. It's pretty cool that you don't have competing vendors in any one venue, they only have one type of vendor at each venue (like a real wedding). This is great for soon-to-be brides to be able to focus in on specific vendors for each category and be able to remember at the end of the event. For instance, "Oh I really liked the invitations at <blank> venue and liked the floral arrangements at <blank> venue."
At the end of the day, my favorite part of Weddings in Woodinville is the amazing food, wine and transportation! I mean you get to eat, drink and get chauffeured (limo, party bus, etc) from one venue to another. How awesome is that?! This keeps me coming back year after year (this will be my third time)! I always invite newly engaged couples, friends and family. Everyone always has a great time! That's another great thing about Weddings in Woodinville, you don't have to be engaged to attend! It's such a great deal with the food, wine and transportation alone; the pretty wedding decor is a fabulous bonus! Weddings in Woodinville is an event my husband and I look forward to attending every year!
