This pavilion features a cozy, wood-burning indoor fireplace, retractable glass doors, wood floors, and a custom-made bar. You can also throw a large outdoor party on the Seaside Lawn, where the island’s spectacular sunsets will paint the backdrop to the festivities. Available in July or August only, for 250+ guests.

Our wedding at Roche Harbor was nothing short of magical. Cannot say enough great things about the entire events team at Roche! They made the whole process so simple, and were right by our side every step of the way. Heading into planning our wedding, I was anxious about the process becoming “all consuming” but I never once experienced that with the team at Roche. They were always responsive and helpful and offered so much guidance to my partner and I. Our guests were also blown away by their time at Roche Harbor. The event staff was so kind and provided the best customer service I’ve seen in a long time. It’s been a few months since our wedding and all our guests keep telling us how good the food was, how nice the staff was, and how beautiful Roche Harbor is. Cannot recommend a Roche Harbor wedding enough!

Thank you for your kind words, we loved working with you both!! And, thank you for sending the pics, they are so so lovely - and Kuma running down the aisle after you... a million heart eyes!!
I HIGHLY Roche Harbor Resort for your wedding! Not only is it just an absolutely stunning setting, but the Event Planning Team at Roche Harbor is absolutely amazing! They all know what they're doing and they do it SO well! From the very beginning, the team was very helpful, organized, responsive, flexible and a pleasure to work with. On the big day, the team blew me away - they went above and beyond to make our wedding so special - from the setup, to the support with ceremony, to the incredible food and service, everything was more than I could have dreamed of! Highly, highly recommend a wedding here - the team is incredible and you won't be disappointed!

ecommendation means the world to us! :) Congratulations again, and thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful celebration!
The location and resort speak for itself. It is stunning. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the Roche Harbor Weddings and Events team-Ashley, Stina, Cilena, and Laura.
These women are amazing and really go above and beyond to make your day (in our case -weekend) an incredible experience. It was the little touches provided that made the greatest impact. Our guests said that it was the best food at a wedding they ever had, and several said it was the best wedding they ever experienced. The follow up from start to finish and after our wedding was met with urgency and care. The team works with empathy and seem to truly love what they do. Thank you Roche!

or your kind words; we’re passionate about what we do, and your appreciation means the world to us (we don’t always get to hear how we’re doing, so thank you for your feedback!).

Any questions?
Oh my goodness, I have only but nice things to say about this venue, location, and staff. If I had one word to describe our time with Roche Harbor, I would say blissful.
They really help with your vision and I never felt anxious when working with them (and we all know how wedding planning goes). Every time I had a moment where I felt like I could've panicked, Roche's staff stepped up to the plate multiple times. They really want you to feel at ease and they damn sure do a good job of it. They even make sure you eat when you're running around trying to greet all your guests!
We had a pop-up tattoo artist cancel day of, last minute. Within an hour, Roche had a plan and connections. We were able to still have our wedding pop-up tattoo event with two traveling tattoo artists' that used to work at Roche, it all came together so perfectly! If you’re looking for tattoo artists who are not only skilled but also a blast to be around, look no further than Shay and Sean. They saved the day for us, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!
The golf carts they have on site were a nice touch as well! Made sticking to the timeline/schedule so much easier.
You will not regret booking here, it was the most magical weekend we could ask for. All thanks to Stina and the rest of their team.

Hearing that you felt at ease, well-fed, and on schedule makes us smile. Stina and the entire team are so grateful for your kind words, and we can't wait to welcome you back in the future. Wishing you both all the best! xoxo
You will not regret getting married at Roche Harbor Resort. First and foremost, I want to say we are a lesbian couple and throughout our search for an LGBT+ friendly venue, we felt very strongly that Roche was the perfect venue for us after just one conversation with the planning team.
My wife and I were married on 7/19/24, which we planned ourselves without a wedding planner, during a 1 year planning window. For every detail and decision, the Roche Harbor planning team was there for us, answering our many calls and emails. Our wedding was around 60 people and ran very smoothly. The weather in July was beautiful- not a cloud in the sky. The backdrop of the hotel, docks, gardens, and chapel all made for beautiful photos.
We chose to get married in Roche's beautiful historic chapel instead of the garden and were not disappointed- walking out of the church when the doors opened revealed a beautiful backdrop of the harbor and many docked boats.
Our cocktail hour was so fun on the patio, with plenty of seating and tables as well as the lit fireplace. The bar staff met us with two flutes of champagne when we arrived after signing our marriage license. The appetizers were delicious and everyone loved the ones we selected off Roche's different tiered menu options.
Dinner ran very smoothly thanks to the catering team, and the bar staff made sure we had our cocktail of choice waiting for us at our dinner table. We opted for a buffet and were not disappointed- the food was was delicious and our guests agreed. The tables were set up beautifully as requested. It was a beautiful and perfect day from start to finish. We were able to have the wedding of our dreams without a day-of coordinator thanks to the Roche Harbor team.

Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness, and we can't wait to welcome you back for anniversary stays!! Your pictures... are STUNNING!! :) xoxo Roche Harbor Events Team
Having our wedding at Roche Harbor was really a dream come true. All of our guests absolutely raved about the venue, the service and especially the food! I am so thankful to the Roche team for making our day so special!

Absolutely immaculate. Little needs to be said about the grandness of being married at Roche Harbor. Memories of a lifetime.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re honored to have been a part of your special day, and knowing it created memories of a lifetime means the world to us. Wishing you all the best, and we hope to welcome you back to the resort soon!
The experience with Roche Harbor Resort for our wedding was amazing from start to finish! The entire team were great communicators and made the process easy using aisle planner to help keep us on track with all of the elements of a wedding. Our guests had the best time and raves about how amazing the resort, food, and service was! A beautiful place to get married with a great team to help make the day a reality! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your beautiful photos!! We're honored to be a part of your special day and look forward to hosting you on future anniversary stays!! -Roche Harbor Events Team
Our wedding at Roche Harbor on June 25th, 2024 was nothing short of perfect. From the day we decided to get married at Roche to the end of our wedding day, the Roche Harbor team was there for us. Throughout planning, the day of set up, the communication and clarity on costs / coordination, to the service throughout our wedding day, they were incredibly professional and present. We felt so special and cared for. Roche Harbor is a little slice of heaven on earth and every detail, from the lit fireplaces in the courtyard & pavilion, to them announcing us as newly weds during the traditional colors ceremony. We cannot give this team enough praise. All we can say if we walked away from our wedding saying that was the most incredible day of our lives and we credit it to the amazing Roche Harbor Team. Can we do it all over again?
Roche Harbor Resort was hands down the best choice of venue for our Wedding! Our guests are still raving that it was the best wedding they had ever attended and the staff was diligent, caring, and catered to every single need. It was simply enchanting; we cannot wait to return to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow! Everywhere you look in Roche Harbor is absolutely stunning and each space that Roche curates for their events, from the Rose Garden for the ceremony, to the Courtyard for cocktails, to the Pavilion for the reception, made for the perfect wedding venue. Planning was a breeze since Roche takes care of or provides many of the variables you need to handle at over venues (ex: catering, bar, and most of the rentals). It was also really useful to see so many photo examples of how other Roche weddings have been setup to help us determine what we wanted to do for ours. Also, the entire staff from planning through execution were timely, professional, helpful, and very attentive to our event. The food at our reception was delicious (many guests still mention how good the passed appetizers were especially) and we couldn’t have asked for more. We definitely recommend having your wedding/reception at Roche Harbor!
Roche is probably the best place in the WORLD to get married. There is room for so many people to stay on the property, it's stunning, so many activities to do, and the best planning team at Roche. We had a 170 person wedding, and they hosted us for a welcome dinner at Lime Kiln, a rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Shipwreck Beach, the most stunning wedding at the Sunken Garden, Cocktail hour at the Courtyard, Reception in the Pavilion, and Farewell Brunch at McMillians. It was the best weekend of our lives, all our guests raved about how much they loved it (guests from 20+ states and countries traveled in), and said it felt like a vacation for them- which was our goal. I've been to 30+ weddings in my life, and I am so proud and honored to have had it at Roche. It is a special place, but the staff there makes it even better. BIG hugs to you all!

Thank you Lindsay for your kind words, we're soooo happy for you and Matt!! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and hope to see you soon!
Roche Harbor and their team were so amazing to work with, they made us feel like family and we couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. They were always responsive, they helped us with anything we needed and worked well on the fly when we had to change plans due to weather. We would recommend Roche Harbor to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2023
Thank you for your kind words, Morgan!! We are beyond happy for you and Monica, and look forward to seeing you again soon, and watching the puppies grow up :)
Thank you Roche Harbor for our AMAZING wedding weekend! It was truly so magical and prefect! Every staff member that was involved...from accommodations to transportation to cuisine, provided not only Don and I incredible service but our guests as well! Roche Harbor is truly the best venue to say "I do"!
We chose to do our rehearsal /welcome dinner at Shipwreck Beach. It was a wonderful setting for our BBQ dinner and drinks. A beautiful view of the harbor as the sun set!
This venue is perfect for an outdoor wedding. We had the ceremony in the sunken garden and from there it is a very short walk to the courtyard where cocktail hour took place. Our guests were served appetizers and beverages as they mingled with one another. The reception followed a few steps up into the pavilion. Upon entering, there was not a detail missed! This space was truly over the top with elegance and class!
Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was, how incredible the staff was and what a sensational venue it was! We truly wish we could do it all over again just to experience the amazing event that the Roche Harbor wedding team produces!
I have wanted to get married at Roche Harbor since I was a little girl, and I am so glad I did.
The location in and of itself is absolutely magical. We had the best time.
From our first viewing appointment, Laura was wonderful. She gave us tons of ideas and useful information and we felt absolutely zero pressure from her to book a date.
After booking, the entire events team was very helpful and on the ball, which I appreciated. They took the time to answer every little annoying bride question thoroughly and happily. They also always responded in a timely manner, which is so helpful for an overwhelmed bride. They also offered recommendations for other vendors which was super helpful. The entire planning process with them from the event spaces, to the room block, to the food and beverage service was very smooth and simple.
Because they handle so much, I opted not to hire a wedding planner. At times it was a challenge for me, but it is totally doable if you are a hands on bride or have family and friends that are helpful.
By the time my wedding came around, the events staff member I had been working with went on maternity leave, I do feel that a few small details were missed due to this, but nothing catastrophic. I have been through the maternity leave process myself, so I know how challenging it can be to get everything ready before you leave, and it’s really nothing that made for a bad experience.
The team was super helpful the day before the wedding with our rehearsal and final planning meeting and left me feeling completely at ease going into the following day - which is saying a lot because I am a stress ball.
The ceremony and cocktail hour ran perfectly smooth (again with no planner or day of coordinator). The servers made a point to bring my husband and I drinks and plates of appetizers, obviously knowing that it can be difficult for the bride and groom to find a second to eat and drink - this was a really nice touch.
We opted for a plated salad and buffet style dinner. The food was amazing and all of the feedback we have received from our guests was great. As we know, our guests’ opinions of the food can make or break how we feel about our wedding.
The bar manager was also great and super accommodating. We had a few odd requests and he rolled with them, with a smile on his face, when others in his position would have been annoyed.
I also have to give a shout-out to the culinary team members who helped us store our cake. We had some random questions that were totally not even in their realm of expertise and they were happy to answer them and help us figure things out.
A few small details to consider - Washington State is pretty strict with their food and liquor laws for event venues and Roche Harbor operates very much “by the book” (as they should). Due to this, you can be a little limited in some things (for example, no beer boys in lieu of flower girls, and no leftovers, which is a bummer because the food is delicious). There is also a mandatory 25% gratuity, which is a little high, and maybe it’s just the part of me that doesn’t like being told how to feel about something that reacted to this lol, but at the end of the day, the service was amazing, the events team was amazing, and I couldn’t imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Just like every other bride, it was my best day ever and totally worth every penny.
Our wedding weekend at Roche Harbor was absolutely incredible. The team, the staff, and all folks involved were incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the resort and how amazing the wedding weekend was executed. We are over the moon with joy! Thank you, Roche Team for the best experience EVER!
We are just over the moon with how amazing the wedding, rehearsal dinner, and overall experience with Roche was. We could not be happier and are so grateful to Stina and her whole team. Nothing went wrong, everyone was so incredible to work with, and very communicative. Roche is incredibly special and we knew this would be a dream wedding, but it was much much more. Words can't describe how magical it was. All our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding and most delicious wedding food they have ever had. We agree! The dungeness crab mac is fantastic- my uncle started clapping when the buffet curtains opened he was so excited! And our guests were all so happy that a conga line started at 7pm in broad daylight! Having our guests all staying in the same location was incredible. It is so special to go grab a cup of coffee on the docs in the morning and run into all your loved ones and catch up/laugh about the shenanigans the night before. We could not recommend Roche Harbor more and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
The venue for the wedding was absolutely stunning. The food was fabulous, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We opted for the Beach BBQ Rehearsal dinner and the Garden wedding with indoor dinner reception. I could not have hoped for more perfect events!
What an amazing venue and great staff! I couldn't recommend Roche Harbor more. We have been going to the resort for years and it is a very special place for our family. The wedding and reception were fantastic! Lots of great compliments on the food and service. I highly recommend a late May wedding. The entire garden is in full bloom and it isn't too hot! Thank you for everything!
Response from the Vendor on 05/29/2023
Thank you Jennifer for your kind words!! We couldn't be happier for M & J, and enjoyed all the planning with you and Mrs. I :) We hope to see you and your family at the resort for future vacations!
Amazing. I could not have asked for a better wedding. They are team are veterans and know exactly what you need and how to make your wishes happen. The venue is amazing, the food is spectacular, and the planning team helps you remain as stress free as a bride can be. They help you with venders and make sure every detail is looked after.
My only small negative is they turn up the lights and clear the tables during the last song of the night, at 11 on the dot. So be aware you are not getting any late party at the venue going. :) Though if you have people rent HighTide/LowTide there is a great roof top there to keep the (more quite) party going. Also tell your guest to book their rooms early because trust me, they sell out.
I cannot recommend it enough, Roche Harbor is the spot to get married. It is beyond special and the team make it that way.

We had our wedding at Roche Harbor at the end of September 2022, and it was absolutely amazing. We first discovered Roche Harbor when we ourselves were guests at a wedding, and a few years later, we decided to come back and get married there. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The team over there at Roche, from their events planning team, hotel staff, marina staff, people behind the scenes, and everyone in between were absolutely wonderful. They made sure we had the perfect day, were helpful, cheerful, on point, and always available. We'd highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting married there to give them a call and get it in the books.! I honestly don't think there's anything we'd change, and we're very thankful for everything they did for us! They have our highest recommendation, and we hope to celebrate many anniversaries for years to come up there at the resort! Thank you to the Roche Harbor team for everything you all did to make our special day everything that it was! Cheers!

Thank you both so much for your kind words!! I must say, kinda miss all of our emails back and forth, but we're so so happy for you both, and know we will see you for future anniversary stays :) Congratulations again!! -Ashley
Roche Harbor is an idyllic setting for a wedding. We got married there on 10/1/2022 and it was truly PERFECT!! The weather was beautiful, 75 and sunny. The entire resort is so stunning and it provides a ton of locations for amazing wedding photos. Our vision was for an elegant wedding in a gorgeous setting that eventually turns into a dance party with all our favorite people. Roche Harbor delivered on that vision! The staff was incredible! We did not have a wedding planner. We put everything together on our own and with the help of Stina and all of the Roche Harbor event staff. They answered all of our questions leading up to our wedding day and were very responsive. The day of coordination with the on site event staff was incredible!! Our day of coordinator made sure we were taken care of all day long. I honestly can't say enough how remarkable Roche Harbor is!! It was a special place to us before our wedding and now it forever will be. We will absolutely be returning for future anniversaries. I highly recommend choosing Roche Harbor for your wedding!!!!

Thank you!!! We had a blast planning your wedding weekend with you both, and congratulations again!! Looking forward to seeing you soon! -Ashley
Getting married at Roche Harbor was a dream come true! We already loved Roche and getting married there was beyond special. The venue, grounds and overall atmosphere are stunning... especially at sunset! The planning staff: Stina, Laura and Ashley were great to work with. They were super responsive, organized and kind in fielding our million-and-one questions during the planning process. The food and service are beyond five-star!! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the appetizers and dinner were (we did the four course plated dinner with a duet of prime rib and salmon- highly recommend). We also did a rehearsal dinner at Shipwreck Beach and the BBQ buffet was a hit! The bar and serving staff were super friendly both nights. They took care to check in with myself and the groom to make sure we had what we needed, which was unexpected and delightful. Another huge bonus to our weekend was Roche's golf cart fleet and staff. We had some elderly guests and a bridesmaid with a broken leg. Being able to count on the transport was a game-changer for those guests who needed help navigating the grounds and also really fun for me and my bridesmaids on the day of the ceremony! Roche is an all around top-notch venue. We had a blast and would recommend getting married there to anyone who wants to get married in the beautiful San Juan Islands.

The team at Roche Harbor is unmatched - Stina, Laura and Ashley made our wedding a breeze to plan, a truly incredible feat for the logistics and details that it entails. Everything was thought of and planned to a T, so my husband and I were able to feel like guests at our own wedding. They communicated quickly and met every single question with patience and kindness, and partnered seamlessly with all of our vendors for a smooth experience overall.
Roche is a stunning, classically Pacific Northwest venue that we were proud to host our wedding guests at, and the team took it above and beyond with professionalism. They're the best in the biz :)
*A helpful tip we learned: Roche is a small resort and a wedding room block will fill up quickly, so be aware of that and have backup options to provide your guests with so everyone can be accommodated for.

Roche Harbor is the most incredible place to have a wedding! We got married on July 17, 2022. The venue itself is undeniably gorgeous, but the team of people working to make your whole weekend special is what really made our experience wonderful. Stina, Ashley, Laura, and all the other wonderful people worked so hard with us all year to answer questions, make arrangements for things, and ensure that our day was the most relaxed and beautiful it could be. The rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner were absolutely gorgeous and the ceremony and reception were out of a movie. I, my groom, and our families and wedding party barely had to lift a finger all weekend, the RH team handles everything for you! This venue is so special and if you are able to get married here, DO IT! We wish we could relive this whole weekend over and over again!!!

A smooth and professional operation with an amazing staff and location. Everyone here is a dedicated employee who cares about guest experience and making sure things run smoothly. We had proper communication and organizational meetings and left feeling in good hands. On the day of our rehearsal and wedding, everything went smoothly and any issues or concerns we had were directly ironed out. We cannot recommend the team here enough; the fact it looks like heaven on earth doesn't hurt either.
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2022
Thank you so much for the kind words!! We couldn't have asked for a more sweet couple (and family!) to start our wedding season off with :) Congratulations again, and hope to see you the next time you're in the Northwest! -Ashley
Roche Harbor was everything and more in anything I could want in a venue and service. They were fully booked with weddings yet made us feel that we were special and important the entire weekend. My husband and I even became fast friends with the reception staff as they were so endearing, kind, and helpful with all management of family and friends coming in for the weekend. Outside of how we were treated and cared for, the venue is absolutely STUNNING. You could go with no decorations and it would be just as jaw dropping. The food catered was exquisite and six months later my guests still bring it up. If I could give Roche Harbor Resort 10 stars I absolutely would. They hold a special place in my heart for making such a special day come to fruition.
Roche Harbor was a great venue. They took care of all of the food and timeline details and allowed us to DIY the rest. The island has plenty of vendors for flowers, cake, etc. or you can do things yourselves, which was nice to have that option. The venue is beautiful and perfect for an outdoor wedding.
The Roche Harbor events team was a dream to work with! They always responded to every email and phone call within a timely manner. They were very helpful if I had any questions about timeline planning, meals, setting up, etc. I really appreciated how the venue has almost everything included in your package for you (rehearsal dinner, rehearsal, food/beverages, tables/linens, set up/tear down). The Roche Harbor team really covers most of your bases but I would still recommend hiring a day of coordinator to work with you and the Roche Harbor team so that you don’t need to worry about a single thing on your wedding day. Our wedding was simply blissful and I would love to plan it and do it all over again - I know that Roche Harbor played a huge role in my wonderful experience and couldn’t recommend them enough. If you have any questions regarding hiring other vendors (hair, makeup, DJ, etc.) they will give you a great advice and recommendations.
I have been visiting Roche Harbor since I was a young girl and always imagined myself getting married here. When I finally met my husband and we booked Roche Harbor for our wedding we were over the moon. Needless to say, the team at Roche was so incredible to work with and ensured that our wedding day was everything that we wanted and more. Despite all the challenges that we faced while planning a wedding during the pandemic, our wedding went off without a hitch and we were so happy and grateful that we had decided to go with Roche Harbor!
Everything about this venue was fantastic! We still have people telling us they remember how great the food (and location!) was.
We got married at Roche Harbor Resort just last year and it was hands-down the venue of our dreams! The entire Wedding & Events team were extremely responsive, flexible and kind people to partner with over the last year! Whenever we had a question or idea to run by them, the Roche team was just a phone call or email away. They manage multiple weddings per week during the summer, but you would never notice because they made each couple feel special and were genuinely excited for our big day.
The only word to describe our July 29, 2021 wedding at Roche is PERFECT. Truly. Our small gathering of 35 friends and family members was absolutely the best. The Roche planning team was professional and organized- I didn’t ever worry about a single thing. The food was magnificent and the support in selecting excellent vendors for our photos, floral, minister, hair and makeup was spot on. We truly had the most magical stay and can’t wait to come visit next July. ❤️
In summary - I would rate Roche Harbor 5+ stars due to the breathtaking location, unbelievably accommodating and responsive wedding planning team, and their response to COVID-19 leading to the postponement of our wedding.
In detail - we were supposed to be married at Roche Harbor in June 2019. As soon as the pandemic hit, the wedding planning team at Roche started reaching out. They kept us informed of state guidelines and they answered our (many) questions throughout the spring. Eventually - the team at Roche told us it would be in our best interest to postpone, and confirmed that we would not need to worry about deposits, and that they would handle moving previously-booked accommodations within the resort to a new wedding date. They gave us the available dates, allowed us to choose what worked best for our Summer 2021 schedules, and we were set. That easy!
I have to think to myself - how many venues would do this?! They were advising us to postpone because they genuinely wanted us to have the best wedding and celebration possible, and knew that social distancing guidelines may have gotten in the way. They didn't know that events were going to be shut down entirely. They put the client ahead of the business and they made my fiancé and I feel valued.
Throughout the wedding planning process, previous to the pandemic, the team was also incredible. If we had an idea for the wedding - they were there to support it and let us know how they could assist in making it a reality. Their job is essentially to make wedding dreams come true - and they do a very good job at that.
The experience you will get at Roche Harbor is like none other, whether you are planning or attending a wedding, or just visiting for a weekend getaway. It is a charming, happy place. The people are genuine and kind, the food is world class (McMillans is our very favorite restaurant), the service is like none other, and the people - both the folks who work there and those visiting, are just plain happy to be there.
We will now be married in June 2021. The team has stayed in contact with us and we always stop by to say hi when we visit San Juan Island. They connected us with all of our other vendors (photographer, officiant, rentals, cake, hair & makeup, etc.), who are also incredible and were unbelievably accommodating through the pandemic.
We feel deeply grateful to Roche for their understanding and grace through the year 2020. We cannot wait to be married there in 2021 and will continue to visit for the rest of our lives.
We were frequent visitors of Roche Harbor and always thought of it as a great getaway destination. During one such visit, accompanied by our daughter and her boyfriend / future husband, we overheard them remark, “If we ever get married, we should do it here. This is such an awesome place!”
We never dreamed it would be possible. But, the day came when we started looking at wedding venues. Everything else paled. Roche Harbor Resort was permanently etched in our minds. On a whim, we contacted Roach Harbor Weddings and they immediately sent a link to their wedding presentation site. There was even an open date on the calendar.
Accommodating is an understatement. We set up an appointment to tour the facility with Jessica and invited our daughter and now fiancé to visit with us. Clearly Jessica loves her job and she gave us a great overview of the facility and how weddings worked at Roche Harbor.
Over the course of the next couple months, we worked with Ashley and several other team members finalizing the wedding plans. In addition to the dreams of our daughter and her fiancé, and the fabulous customer service, a primary decision making consideration for us was the turnkey nature of Roche Harbor Weddings. It was one stop shopping for the venue, the accommodations and a venue coordinator. Beyond that, we only had to arrange for our own photographer, cake maker and floral arranger and officiant. It was easier having a destination wedding than it would have been having it in a more local venue where we would have had to arrange for nearly everything. Plus the team was fun to work with.

We are honored you and your family chose Roche Harbor to host their big day, an...
d are so happy you all come back for future vacations!! -Roche Harbor Events Team
The Events Team at Roche Harbor is top notch! We have had such a great experience with them from the beginning. We ended up postponing our 2020 wedding due to COVID-19 but Roche Harbor was so flexible and supportive throughout the whole process. What could have been a terrible situation ended up being so easy and smooth thanks to their team. While we haven't hosted our wedding yet, we have no doubt that Roche will exceed our expectations in 2021!
Response from the Vendor on 09/18/2020
Hi Hallie,
Thank you so much for the kind words!! We are so excited to be a part of your wedding day! Thank you for your flexibility in changing your date; we consider you part of the Roche Harbor Family, and truly want you to have the wedding...
of your dreams. We hope to build a lifetime relationship with you both – and hope you bring your families back for vacations and future celebrations too!! We are sooo looking forward to 2021!! -Roche Harbor Events Team
A winter wedding in Washington is possible!! Additional perk for most (if not all) of your guest accommodations is getting free upgrades to due the “slower season”. Sweet and intimate little white chapel is the perfect ceremony set up and very close to the reception area. Beautiful and useable outdoor courtyard with huge fireplace to keep toasty warm. Rainy weather? No problem! There’s a covered patio and another huge and toasty stone fireplace inside. Not to mention the most delicious food that will have your guests raving and wanting more.
As with any wedding we had a few snags but nothing Stina and Laura couldn’t handle or smooth over, including hoping in as bar tender and waitstaff themselves. Throughout the planning process they were able to guide us to wonderful vendors and make sure all our needs were met and questions answered. Dream team!
Try a winter wedding! We just had our wedding yesterday and couldn’t be more happy with our decision. It was incredibly intimate, the staff wasn’t overwhelmed with guests so we felt like we were a priority, and the weather was nearly perfect! Laura and Stina were absolutely fantastic coordinators and helped guide us through every stage of the wedding. The resort was very specific before we hired them that they would work with third party coordinators if chosen, but we felt as though we didn’t need one (it wouldn’t have been worth the cost considering what Laura and Stina provided).
The food... oh the food. It was some of the best food we’ve ever had. Every single guest was (is) raving about how good the menu was. We are so grateful for the chefs and their staff.
The fireplaces were lit and kept everyone nice and warm. They also made for some beautiful photos (go check out Stefan & Audrey.. they were amazing). The venue also had lit propane heaters outside for those who wanted to sit outside.
The price for a winter wedding could NOT be beat. The venue fees are incredibly low and the off season pricing around the Island made this wedding perfect. We could not be more happy.
Recently, my best friend was married at Roche Harbor and from beginning to end - EVERYTHING went PERFECTLY! The staff was super attentive to the guests and helped fulfill any request that was thrown their way. The rentals were immaculate and stocked with all of the essentials, the venue had any amenity needed and the setting was so picturesque! As a guest I couldn't have asked for a better weeding weekend!
The day was absolutely perfect from the ceremony, to dinner to reception. All of our guests told us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. Highly recommend this venue.
Everything went beautifully and we felt taken care of. It felt like rain or shine, everyone there would do everything they could to make the day perfect for us. The facilities and staff gave us numerous options for how we wanted our special day and accommodated all our wishes. It was a wonderful and memorable day.
Getting married at Roche Harbor Resort is THE BEST!! And I would know, I have planned 7 weddings there so far!! The views & property are phenomenal, the staff is beyond caring and helpful and the food is fantastic! It really is an oasis to escape to for your wedding with your family and friends - I can't recommend it enough!!
My entire family and I cannot express how wonderful the staff at Roche Harbor are. They all made our daughter's wedding so special and unforgettable. Everything went so smoothly due to their efficiency and organization. All the vendors they recommended were perfect too!
Also, having a destination event was so special. We had several friends and family who had never been to Roche Harbor. They are all still talking about the magic and beauty of the resort. Accommodations were perfect, all the food was amazing, and of course the entire staff.
We can't thank Laura, Tyla, and the whole crew for the most perfect weekend!
We had our wedding in March of 2019 and I only WISH we could live that weekend forever!! Roche Harbor is the MOST magical place!! From the minute we stepped foot into the resort we were greeted with kindness and genuine excitement from all of the staff.
I don't even know where to begin, it was all so amazing - our rooms came not only with a beautiful view, but were gorgeous, clean and had a thoughtful little note it's the little touches that make the biggest differences!
The entire crew pitched in to make our ceremony extra special and our guests are STILL raving about the food - the kitchen staff KILLED IT!!
For dinner we chose to do heavy appetizers and delicious food stations - I'll never stop drooling over that seafood!! Oh and those corndogs?!? Delightful!
Chris and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding weekend, with a better crew of people and recommend them to EVERYONE!! We can't wait to go back for every anniversary!
Our experience here was lovely! They were very accommodating to meet our needs. The menu was tailored to meet gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and aspartame free dietary requirements. And with these changes the food was still AMAZING! They lowered their minimum guest count for us because it was the off season. They accommodated an outdoor movie for us at Shipwreck beach and had staff on hand to help out the entire wedding day. Everything you could possibly need for your wedding day is provided here (with the exception of florals/an arbor). They certainly strived to make our wedding day how we wanted it and they succeeded! Would highly recommend for a wedding or other event venue! Our families loved it and we had a wonderful time staying at the resort with our family for three additional days as well! Certainly wonderful memories. Thank you Roche Harbor Resort staff!!
We had our wedding at Roche Harbor in October 2019 and it was the ideal location for us and our guests. First off, the location is incredible. The flexibility of hosting the ceremony outdoors or should the weather change, indoors was import to us. Plus, many benefits of doing it off season: plenty of accommodations to choose from, beautiful weather, and foliage changing color. The wedding/event team were incredibly accommodating to all our requests and wants. The food and wine were incredible. They also have a great list of vendors they regularly work with who know the space, but are able to make the wedding unique to us. Choose Roche Harbor!!! Just not on our anniversary weekend, as we want to have the best choice of rooms to choose from.
Roche Harbor knows how to throw one heck of a wedding! As the Mother-of-the-Bride, THANK YOU Roche Harbor for catering our extraordinary wedding reception. The night was seamless. To us it was nothing short of perfection and we enjoyed every moment of it. The FOOD was beautiful, so wonderfully prepared and presented. Everyone commented on how much they loved all of it. The stations made it so guests could serve themselves when and how much they wanted and that was the perfect approach for the casual style of dining we wanted. Roche Harbor staff was professional and courteous, and carried out the event in style.
Chef Bill put together the most creative and fabulous tasting menu. The food stations were well organized and beautifully set up. Everyone raved about the food. The planners Laura and Alyssa were extremely organized and attentive to detail from day one until the end of the reception. They made it so we did not have to worry about a thing at the reception.
My only regret is that I was so busy with Mother of the Bride and hosting that I did not get to return to the food stations enough!
I would throw my wedding every weekend for the rest of my life - and not change one thing - if I could!! Roche Harbor truly threw the wedding of my dreams. Not only was it the best day, ever, but many guests came up to us and wrote us afterward that it was the best wedding they've attended. Roche Harbor matched my level of attention to detail and personalization, which is really amazing for a vendor to do! The wedding food was not only "the best food we've had at a wedding" but it was also some of the "best food we've had, ever" said many of our guests. Roche Harbor went above and beyond, and throughout the night myself (bride) and my husband (groom) had personal servers/waiters/bartenders who made sure we had a drink in our hand, appetizers, dinner and of course cake! The planning team was so professional and fun to work with, and the set up team were pros. Thank you Roche Harbor for all the work that went into planning the best day ever!
The team at Roche made our guests feel so welcome.. The banquet team timed the evening beautifully and the menu was outstanding. The setting is magical!
I have been visiting Roche Harbor every summer since I was 8 and always wanted to get married here so it was an easy choice for me. Roche is such a beautiful place, you could do nothing and your wedding would still be incredibly beautiful. My only suggestion is to think about hiring a day of coordinator as we struggled a little bit with communication with the resort event coordinators on the wedding day.
We chose Roche Harbor because we loved the idea of having all of our family and friends in the San Juan Islands for a weekend. We were won over by Allie and Jereny during our site visit who were both very friendly and professional. They have a program designed from experience to guide couples through the planning process that we were really impressed with.
The venue photographed beautifully; there are so many options (beach, dock, monuments, fields etc) and all are stunning. We chose the buffet dinner package and the food was both beautifully displayed and delicious, our friends still rave about the salmon and the gnocchi; we wish we went through the line more than once! There are a variety of accommodations and all of our guests really enjoyed their stay. I can’t say enough good things about the local vendors I hired; both Leah from Bloom San Juan and DJ Doug went above and beyond to make our day the best it could be. We're really grateful to Jessica from planning for all her help pre-wedding as well as Alyssa from the events team who helped us with a post wedding issue.
My only regret about the experience was not hiring a separate day of coordinator. I had initially hired one but was told I really didn't need one unless I had DIY decorations (I didn't). Shortly after booking, the planning team changed. Over the next few months I had the pleasure of meeting several times with Jessica who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I vaguely knew there was another individual on the team, but my only interactions with her were a few awkward phone calls and emails where communication seemed difficult. Arranging the seating chart over email with this individual was particularly frustrating and was the most unpleasant part of the planning process. A few weeks before my wedding, I saw on a document that this person was the "planner" assigned to my wedding. I called to express my concern that it wasn't a good fit but was reassured that there would be others involved to make sure everything went okay. The day before the wedding, our "planner" was not present at the final details meeting. We didn't actually meet her in person until the rehearsal; where she failed to bring any of the materials they had me fill out regarding procession order etc. The day of the wedding was chaotic. The planner was not present for the entire day. The crew of guys setting up were running late and had no idea I had ordered linens and chargers from BBJ. My florist went above and beyond and saved our day by organizing the crew, laying out linens, placing table numbers and finishing the table layouts because it was too late for myself or the bridal party to help. There was paraphernalia from the previous wedding that was left in the garden and entryway (that made it in our photos), there was no microphone set up as planned and my fiancé had to personally set one up minutes before the ceremony. At the reception; the layout was not correct and our chargers were never placed. Although these are all small things, it really showed a lack of interest and attention to detail from our venue planner that was disappointing and hurtful. Maybe I misunderstood her role, but it would have saved us a lot of day-of stress if she had supervised the venue setup or even checked in with us once during the day to see how things were going. This was a stark contrast to the otherwise exceptional service we got from Roche Harbor, unfortunately it was when we really needed it.
We are so happy we chose Roche Harbor for our special day! We looked at a few different venues on the San Juan Islands and ultimately nothing even came close to Roche Harbor. We saw the property once in January and planned the whole wedding from our of state which was never an issue because of the amazing team! The day of our even Tyla, Jessica, and Laura were on top of things and made the whole event a wonderful stress free experience. Every single one of our guests commented on the beautiful venue and amazing staff as well!
Our wedding was by far the best day of our lives! Of course, it was the only day in a 2 week period that rained, but we didn't let that stop us. The team at Roche Harbor were great to work with the whole way through. They helped our day run perfectly! Everyone was so happy to work with us. They were so accommodating as well. We wouldn't change one thing (even the rain seemed to fit). They know their business! So glad we chose Roche Harbor!
We are so happy that we had our wedding at Roche Harbor Resort. The staff made the process easy and stress free from start to finish. Each of our guests commented on how wonderful everything was, from the venue to the food! We cannot thank the staff at Roche Harbor enough for making it a special weekend for us and our guests!
Beautiful venue and helpful, friendly staff
This was the most beautiful place I’ve been. Everyone I came in contact with was super kind and went above and beyond. The hotel was adorable. The food was amazing wherever I went. The views were spectacular and breathtaking. One day When I was out walking the island we came upon this distillery tucked back off the road. We stopped and enjoyed some samples. This place was by far the best place ever from the hotel to the views the wonderful food kind people just everything. I will hopefully get to go back one day!
Roche Harbor Resort is a quality, informed, creative, & experienced team of wedding planners who can handle every detail, from flower arrangements, to catering options, to payment specifics & details (including due dates), to guest accommodations. If they don't have an answer, they're quick to get one. They have many fresh ideas & also enlist the help of equally high quality, creative, vendors that support there (and, thus, your) mission of excellent service & product. Without reservation, I can highly recommend this high caliber team of professionals to anyone who is serious about a high end, destination wedding experience! They have few peers at their dedication level & it's not a coincidence!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! This place is our home away from home! From the beginning on the tour with event planners , right down to the end of my reception was PERFECT! The ladies were on top of everything every step of the way! We were in constant contact throughout the whole process! My wedding day was super fabulous! The ladies even ran for super glue and brought food to my suite. They also ran for tide pens, and got mud out of my dress after my pics so I didn’t walk down the aisle a muddy mess! The ceremony went perfect. The reception was fabulous! Every one of my guests raved about how great the food was! They definitely were on top of every last little detail! The lodging staff was also phenomenal I had to change several reservations and they accommodated every single one with a smile! It’s hard to plan a wedding from a far to begin with, but they made it stress free and fun! I’m so glad we chose Roche Harbor for our special day! They will be with you from the very beginning to the very end with impeccable service! Thank you so much to Tyla for dealing with all my questions and stressful moments. Without her I would have lost my mind! She’s the best! Also Laura, Jessica, Jerry, and Michael!! Thank you !
From our first steps onto the resort grounds, we loved Roche Harbor and knew it was perfect for us. It is stunningly beautiful and full of character, and the perfect getaway for us and all of our guests. We wanted our wedding to be a special treat for our guests too, and Roche Harbor Resort delivered. The events planning team was incredible. Allie helped me with all of the details surrounding the day of our wedding leading up to the event answering the millions of questions running through my head with ease. Jereny took care of all of our booking and reservations for us and our guests, and was immensely helpful. I knew I was in good hands from the very beginning. They were incredibly organized and covered everything I could think of and a dozen things I never would have thought to ask. They were very responsive and I felt secure in their care, which was a huge blessing. Having a destination wedding can be very challenging, but these ladies helped pull all the pieces together so that our wedding day was beautiful. I want to specifically give a shout out to Laura who saved the day when our outdoor wedding plans were dashed by surprise snow. She helped a panicking bride come up with the perfect backup plan and really calmed my nerves. It all came together so beautifully. The food was delicious and unforgettable! Our friends and family still talk about it and how special our wedding was. I 100% recommend Roche Harbor Resort to anyone. It was enchanting and we will never forget it.
As a long time employee of Roche Harbor myself, I had the luxury of knowing there was no one better or well-suited to take care of my special day. The people that I have witnessed regularly take care of brides, grooms and their families go above and beyond any normal expectations for a wedding. They are hard working individuals that will make sure your day is the best it can be. Along with this, Roche Harbor is a beautiful setting and back drop with literally everything you'd need conveniently within walking distance. There are smiling and helpful faces every step of the way. I wouldn't trust any other venue to take care of me and my family as well as Roche Harbor is capable of doing.
From the very beginning of our wedding location search, we knew Roche Harbor was the place for us! If you haven't been there yet, check it out, it is a stunning place and really hits all the marks for a true Pacific Northwest experience. The wedding event coordination team was more than we could have even asked for. From the beginning of our planning to our wedding weekend, they were there every step of the way. They were responsive to emails, helped bring our vision to life, and are truly experts in wedding planning and day of coordination. The island has a tight knit community, so in our case most of our vendors knew each other well and had worked together frequently, which was comforting as I planned our day from Seattle. And the food, you just can't beat it! After all the hard work that you will put into planning your day, you really want a team that will help bring it all together for you on the day of so you can really just enjoy it, and Roche Harbor without a doubt is that team!
Great communication & excellent service. The staff at Roche Harbor was so great! They helped make our wedding absolutely perfect. Our family and friends are still talking about how beautiful it was!
Wow! I cannot say enough amazing things about having our wedding here. The events team truly makes having a "destination wedding" as smooth as possible. If I had any planning questions, the team would email me back within 24 hours. The venue is gorgeous--you just can't beat sunset in the San Juans. The food is also catered completely in-house and is amazing. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they had been to, and we can honestly say that this is in large part due to the Roche Harbor Events team. The day was executed perfectly and they were SO accommodating when I went back and forth five times on our seating chart. I would highly recommend--you will not be disappointed! Special shoutout to Tyla, our amazing coordinator who helped the day go off without a hitch. :)
Fantastic venue! Everyone on the staff was so helpful during planning, and on the actual wedding day to make sure things went flawlessly. The venue is gorgeous and the food is amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a romantic sea-side wedding!
This was my dream venue and our wedding was more perfect than I could've imagined. Great food, prompt service, fair bar/liquor pricing. They also allow you to reserve a guest room block for free. Their recently renovated pavilion (reception space) is gorgeous. I would recommend Roche Harbor to other brides.
Allie and her team are exceptional. From the very start, they were attentive and accommodating, answering any and all of our questions without delay. The venue itself is a dream destination. We wanted to get married somewhere where our friends and family could settle in for the weekend, without the distractions of a big city. The layout of the resort feels like a small town and with the variety of rooming options availalbe, our whole party, from singles to couples to families, were able to find something to fit their needs. It's a visually stunning place, with old-school charm, delicious food and a friendly, professional staff. Highly recommended!
Our son and new daughter-in-law's wedding at Roche Harbor Resort was simply magical in every detail, from an amazing setting, wonderful activities, and a perfectly orchestrated Welcome Dinner and Wedding.
We could not have found a more magical venue for our summer wedding! Allie, Jereny, and the rest of the team were truly top notch. They made sure that not only my husband and I were taken care of, but all of our family and friends as well. We had our rehearsal dinner at Shipwreck Beach and invited all of our guests to join us for drinks and s’mores on the beach. It was such a fun experience! On the day of our wedding, Laura made sure that every little detail was not overlooked- she even made sure that we ate (the food was seriously AMAZING) and she never let my wine glass get empty! I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and our experience at RH Resort. Thank you for making our wedding the best day ever!
The Roche Harbor Wedding crew was the best! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined and they helped so much to make sure everything went smoothly. The entire planning process was incredibly smooth and organized. Throughout our year of planning we received updates and e-mails that helped us to stay on track with everything that needed to be done. We made a couple trips up to Roche Harbor to meet with Allie and each time was so fun (plus you get half price stays if you are planning your wedding there). The day before the wedding the whole team met with us before the rehearsal dinner and walked us through how everything would work the next day and made sure they had every detail correct for the day. The day of our wedding I had nothing to worry about! When I walked into the space I was amazed at how great it looked and ALL of our guests raved about the food. One thing I was worried about was that we didn't get to taste the menu before making our selections but every single item that was served was delicious! My family is still talking about the food.
Allie and her team were truly amazing every step of the way! Allie even saved the day at the end of the night when I didn't have my id to get into the bar after the wedding and the doorman wouldn't let me in. She just appeared out of nowhere, got me in, and gave us a couple free drinks :). It was truly the perfect day thanks to the Roche Harbor team. We can't wait to be back in May to celebrate our anniversary!
SO HAPPY
We could not have been happier w/ our daughters wedding. She wanted to her many guests coming from all over the country a true taste of the NW. There is no place more beautiful in the NW than Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. The venue is beautiful, the staff extremely organized, responsive and easy to work with. The newly remodeled reception venue is lovely and the catering incredible. The courtyard w/ its large outdoor fireplace a perfect setting for the cocktail hour and their Rose Garden made the most wonderful spot for the Ceremony. All picture perfect - cant wait to see photos!!
