Who Knows Las Vegas?

I have a client who’s been WRONGED! Their venue has ousted them for someone even more rich and famous, so they are left looking for a Fab Las Vegas location for their Sept 1st wedding. Do you know of any place with a spa, artistic, or glamorous sensibility?

Wedding at Alderbrook Resort: Coffee Table Album, a tiny view

Here are a few samples of the Gehrke’s Coffee Table Album. They had glorious weather for their elegant yet natural wedding at Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal. This is a unique venue for those dreaming of a destination within a simple drive. Party with your friends and family all weekend, or all week for that matter. Indulge in the Spa! Your get-away vehicle can be a float plane, and your wedding shoes, either something delicate and gorgeous, or rugged Wellington Boots for a trek into the tide pools!

I put in a couple of single shots too, since this presentation is small and was designed to be a 10×15 Coffee Table Album.

We custom design each album in-studio to keep the design personal and exactly how we (and of course YOU) want it.

Hoar Frost, Romance, and Building Friendships at Skalitude in Methow Valley.

This morning we woke up to an enchanting Hoar Frost engulfing Methow Valley, glistening as far as we could see.

Tim and I, along with our 2.5 year old, Ellie, are here to indulge in scenic cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding. We’re staying for the third time at Skalitude, a comfortably rustic cabin in Carlton. The owners are Lindsey and Will, who have 160 acres surrounded on four sides by NFS lands. They groom trails on their property, and often on the adjacent land. This is winter wonderland at its best.

Unlike the truly rustic (but also wonderfully beautiful) Rendezvous hut to hut ski system, Skalitude is barely rustic, and thoughtfully Green. The bamboo floors are heated, and all electricity is from solar panels. While the room and oven heat is from wood, Lindsey and crew take care of stocking the wood, including for the wood-burning sauna. Oooh Ahhh.

Today we’ll be joined by two other families we’ve been getting to know over the past year plus. We all met in Sarah Nishioka’s Music Together class. (Ellie still loves it after nearly two years!) Sarah teaches both at the PNA and Music Center of the Northwest. Both programs are great.

While initially we were terribly disappointed when both couples had to miss the first night, all happens for a reason. I sure do love my husband!

We’ll keep coming back, with or without our dogs, friends, kids, and/or snow. This is a special place.

And yes, Skalitude welcomes weddings.
