Take advantage of the area’s surroundings with creative wedding ideas such as, your wedding on a farm featuring cowboys and cowgirls, or at a winery surrounded by fruiting vineyards, or on a grassy knoll overlooking the lake, or on a boat, pier, or dock with the bride and groom jumping into the lake to cap off the ceremony. Don’t those sound fun?! Maybe snow is more your thing? How about a winter wedding high up in the Echo Ridge area looking out at a vast sea of white capped ridgelines and the deep blue Lake Chelan below.
