“We were immediately taken with the historic look and the water view. Small, quaint and off the beaten path. Our guests loved it as well.” Shannon, October 2008
“Cute church on the water-bank. Fall foliage all around during October. Bell to ring after ceremony made the final decision.” Michael, October 2008
“Port Gamble was a perfect backdrop for our May wedding. Not only did it provide a feeling of warmth and family, but it offered a memorable environment for our family and friends. The church and pavilion were beautiful and perfect for our small wedding and reception. Both allowed the adults to take in the beauty of the day and let the kids have endless adventures to keep them occupied! Thank you so much for making our day seamless so that we could enjoy the company of our family, friends and each other!” Jenn & Ryan, October 2008
“Thank you for being so helpful! You guys were very easy to work with, always had great suggestions to make the day run more smoothly. We are so glad we rented the church for the entire day! The coordinator on site was fantastic! She helped will all those little things – timing for the ceremony, directing guests to their seats, etc. Thank you!” ___________October 2008
“We absolutely loved our wedding at Port Gamble and would recommend it to anyone getting married. The town is amazing and St. Paul’s church is truly beautiful and unique. I love the historic feel of Port Gamble, and every guest raved. The atmosphere made our special day so memorable and one of a kind. The church and town made our wedding stand out in comparison to other weddings, and gave it the unique character everyone wants for their wedding. It was almost like a fairytale.”
