The majestic gardens, elegant banquet hall and remarkable library of the Manresa Castle have witnessed many happy couples exchanging wedding vows and starting their new lives together.

The library is perfect for smaller weddings. The Banquet Room can comfortably accommodate up to 80 guests for a sit down dinner, with room for dancing after wards. Other rooms and outdoor areas are more suitable for larger gatherings.

The Rose Theatre is another wonderful place to hold a truly memorable morning or early afternoon wedding. You can rent this historic theatre for the ceremony, but you will have to hold your reception somewhere else.

Another important aspect of your wedding day planning is accommodations. Guests may be coming from far and wide. They will need a place to stay before and after the big event.

The Swan Hotel has a fabulous selection of hotel style rooms, suites and studios, as well as deluxe cottages. There is plenty of room for all of your guests, plus it is the ideal place to spend your honeymoon.

On the other hand, what could be more romantic than spending your honeymoon in a century old castle? The Manresa offers elegant, historic rooms with all of the modern amenities you need.

Staying in the same hotel as where you are having your wedding is much easier for you and your guests. You won't have to worry about anyone getting to bed safely or not being able to find a cab so late at night. After the party is over, each person can simply head over to their room and go to sleep.

Your wedding day is the most important day of your life. You want to make lasting memories and have plenty of fabulous pictures for your wedding album. The scenery at Port Townsend will give you the best pictures ever.

You can have your wedding pictures taken in one of the romantic gardens, the beautiful parks, on the rugged shores, on a sandy beach or on the grounds of the historic castle. Whatever you choose, you will have the most beautiful memories imaginable.

Your wedding day is a day of dreams. Port Townsend weddings make all of those dreams come true.
