We suggest looking at the hotels we've mentioned or maybe doing Airbnb/Vrbo,. Staying in Langley is another option, but it might be more expensive. It is an island with amazing views and history, so if you want to treat yo' self, go for it. However, at the end of the day do what works best for your budget, we already appreciate you all making the effort to celebrate with us.
In order to get to Whidbey Island, you'll need to take the ferry departing from the Mukilteo Terminal and if leaving Whidbey you'll depart from the Clinton Terminal. Just remember the names Mukilteo and Clinton, then add the word ferry and if you do a simple google search you'll find directions.
Please take in account the ferry schedule when planning your arrival to the venue, it runs every 30 minutes and with the wedding being on a Saturday it may be a busy day. The good news is that the Clinton terminal is only 10 minutes away from the venue.
Below are some links that can help you with Ferry times, fees, etc.

If its your first time taking the ferry, at least in Washington, I hope you'll understand why McDreamy (Grey's Anatomy) had a thing for ferry boats. - Tricia
