Outdoor Summer Wedding at Pine River Ranch | Mason Jars + Yellow Rose Bouquets


Stacey and Brian had a beautiful Wedding here at Pine River Ranch last August and their talented photographer Saskia M captured the details of their big day perfectly (like always!) The sun was shining and it matched Stacey’s yellow rose bouquet perfectly! The yellow, blue and khaki color scheme of their wedding was a perfect compliment to their August date.
Photographer Saskia Mizushima did a great job of capturing Stacey and Brian’s “first look”
Brian and Stacey got some great photos around the grounds here! I love this one of them at the end of the dock! 
Mason Jars are a DIY favorite at Pine River Ranch for decorations. Stacy chose to use the mason jars for her aisle decorations filled with yellow flowers and tied with a blue ribbon.Stacey had quite the grand entrance with a horse drawn carriage! We always love seeing the faces of guests when the bride arrives by horse and carriage! 
They also had a grand exit as husband and wife! A nice stroll around the property in the horse and carriage to share their joy while guests enjoyed a cocktail hour outdoors in the beautiful summer weather. 
The decor in the barn was so fun and I loved the personalized table centerpieces. Each table was filled with pictures and cities of places that had significance to them as well as beautiful flower arrangements in mason jars! 
They had quite the crowd lined up to catch the bouquet and garter belt! 
As always, if any photographers, brides, grooms or guest have any photos to share please send them my way to: ngourlie {at} prranch.com

Real Leavenworth Weddings | Sage and Alex | Dream Come True

As I say every week we are so lucky here at Pine River Ranch to be continually blessed sharing so many great memories and experiences with every couple that sets foot on the Ranch. This week I owe another huge thank you to Sage and Alex who were kind enough to send their wedding photos my way so I could share them with you!

This is a great shot of the 1944 Dairy Barn. We have completely restored the barn and converted it from a milking barn in 1944 that produced fresh milk for loggers to a beautiful wedding and events venue. The barn is remodeled with stunning hard wood floors, bride and groom dressing suites and all the ammenities to complete your wedding day.
.....
From Sage: "We looked at a number of locations, and it was a simple choice once we found the Pine River Ranch. Their package includes so many of the little things: tables, chairs, flatware, napkins etc... that it saves so much time and energy not having to coordinate all those details. They even include setup and breakdown, and were flexible and accommodating with all our special requests. And the price is unbeatable!"


Many of you have probably read Sage's wonderful review on Pine River Ranch's Wedding Wire page but I will include some snippets just in case because she paints a wonderful picture of Pine River:

"I'm the girl who always fantasized about my wedding day, so the bar was set pretty high. The Pine River Ranch exceeded all of my expectations and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Truly a dream come true!"


"Having the beautiful outdoor garden ceremony, with oak arbors framing the snowcapped Cascade Mountains, was a fairytale backdrop."
Sage wanted to give a big thank you to her Mother-in-Law who is a retired pastry chef and made their wedding cake as Sage says: "It was the BEST cake ever! Carrot cake with butter cream frosting. I think everyone had 2 slices."
I have to post all of Sage's review on the blog because she had such kind words to say about Pine River Ranch. See more Wedding Wire Reviews

(PS- future brides at Pine River Ranch make sure to read the end of her review- She has a great money saving tip!) Thanks again Sage and Alex, we wish you the very best!

Ceremony & Reception Venue: The Pine River Ranch was the perfect wedding venue. The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything went smoothly.
Having the beautiful outdoor garden ceremony, with oak arbors framing the snowcapped Cascade Mountains, was a fairytale backdrop.
The indoor 1944 dairy barn reception, with its classic/rustic ranch exterior and beautifully refinished interior, was breathtaking.
With 22 acres at our disposal, there were plenty of opportunities for beautiful photography, and our guests had ample space to wonder the grounds and explore.
The spa suites were romantic, private, and cozy, and the breakfasts were delicious.
It was so convenient to have everything at one location. The barn even has two beautiful bridal dressing suites, so there's plenty of space to get ready.
We looked at a number of locations, and it was a simple choice once we found the Pine River Ranch. Their package includes so many of the little things: tables, chairs, flatware, napkins etc... that it saves so much time and energy not having to coordinate all those details.

All of our guests are raving about the location. Its closeness to the charming town of Leavenworth ensured that the fun and beauty continued even after the festivities.
I'm the girl who always fantasized about my wedding day, so the bar was set pretty high. The Pine River Ranch exceeded all of my expectations and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Truly a dream come true!
And here's a tip to those lucky enough to book this venue; get your flowers from the Leavenworth Safeway. I got quotes from the local florists that were criminally expensive. I called Safeway on a whim and paid practically nothing for beautiful floral arrangements! The floral manager even went out of her way to find ribbons and glass marbles for the centerpieces that matched our wedding colors exactly. A total joy to work with, and it will literally save you thousands!

Come See Our NEW Nature Walk Trail

Our beautiful nature walk trail is now up and running (or walking!) around the Ranch. We have mowed a trail that takes you around the beautiful grounds, along Nason Creek with beautiful views of Big Jim Mountain and the Cascade Mountain Range along the way.

Since the completion of the trail we have enjoyed watching people with their bird watching binoculars and guides exploring the grounds and have also taken our resident horses throught the trail as well, which they have enjoyed immensely!

We are also looking forward to the winter time when the Nature trail will make for a great cross country skiing trail or snow shoe hike right from the back door of your Cabin Suite!

Come see for yourself and get a breath of the fresh country air for a great change of pace and scenery.

Slow down and smell the roses!
