~Reviews~
All of our guests had an amazing time! We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for
providing us with this wonderful venue. Heronswood & staff exceeded every expectation! Eric
& Natasha Anderson, Bride & Groom
Amazing gardens! If you get the chance, make the trip here. So many varied species of plants
here. It's a delight for photographers, and just nature lovers in general. So much color,
beautifully cared for by the remarkable staff, and their on hand to help answer any questions
you might have as well.
Scott C. Brown
A gorgeous venue for a wedding.

The atmosphere is beautiful. The service awesome. I'm even more appreciative that it belongs
to Native Americans.

First, Shelby, made it easy to get a hold of when we had questions. With my busy work schedule
and trying to plan a wedding with my mom's help, and my husband's busy schedule, Shelby was
available when we were free to go over venue ideas, to go over venue lay out, to go over the
menu, and to go over the pieces we wanted to bring in. She made planning a breeze and made
sure her team was on the same page and same vision we hand.
Second, Dusty, the head chef, was awesome. He was noted late that I had a dairy allergy during
the first tasting, and was immediately throwing ideas around for us to try on our second tasting
that modified the food so I, the bride could eat it. Our second tasting was great, and the meal
for the wedding was incredible! We had so many compliments on how tasty and fresh all the
food was!
Third, the staff at Heronswood and the catering staff were fabulous! The gardeners have done
such a great job at making the venue stunning in the summer. The catering staff was super
friendly and when we had a few modifications they were flexible in making it happen (boxing
food up by dish vs. meals).
I can't recommend Heronswood enough to friends and people who need a day trip from Pierce
County. It truly is a hidden gem out in Kitsap!

Heronswood Garden
A Dream Garden of Botanical Beauty!
Heronswood Garden is a wonderful botanical garden and wedding venue located in Kingston, Washington that boasts picturesque beauty. Residing among the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and a rare inventory of unusual trees, shrubs and vines, this venue is perfect for a unique outdoor wedding celebration. Located in Kingston, WA just a ferry ride away from Seattle or Edmonds.
History
The process of creating the garden started in 1987 when the co-founders took possession of the property and transformed it over the next two decades. It was sold to a national plant and seed distribution firm in 2000, but was soon neglected for several years after 2006. In 2012 it was purchased once again by the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe where it went through a rebirth with an exciting new inventory of plants and a regrown landscape. This original thriving garden is now a beautiful setting for one-of-a-kind events.
Facilities and Capacity
This 15 Acre world-renowned garden can hold ceremonies in multiple spots on the property. Couples can exchange their vows in the beautiful Potager Garden or one of the many lawns, which can accommodate anywhere from 50 to 175 guests. Heronswood also has a large 20 x 50 & 40 X 60 foot custom wedding tent that is perfect for covered outdoor receptions. The Garden House comes with two wedding party quarters so that the wedding party can properly prepare.
Services Offered
The mission of the Heronswood Garden is to restore, maintain and develop a horticultural facility, making it a truly special place for events of all kinds. With over 8,000 plants in a variety of shapes, sizes, fragrances and colors, this property is ideal for a lovely springtime wedding when all of the flowers are blooming.

Heronswood Bar:
BAR/BEVERAGES Market Fresh Banquets & Catering will provide all beverage service and bar support for events held at Heronswood Gardens or The Point Casino and Hotel. Any events held on Heronswood Garden or The Point Casino & Hotel operating a hosted or non-hosted bar must be bar tended by a Market Fresh Banquets Licensed Bartender. All Market Fresh Banquets & Catering bartenders have the right to refuse service to any guests that appear to be intoxicated. CORKAGE FEE Wine/Champagne or brought in by host will be charged a $5.00 per bottle fee. For on premise events only, held at Market Fresh Banquets & Catering Venues. Negotiable with sales depending on number of guests. Bar FAQ:
If we want to bring in our own wine, champagne, and liquor, I believe the charge on that is a $5.00 corkage fee for each bottle, is that correct? You can bring your own wine, champagne but not liquor. Corkage fee $2.50 per guest included on the contract.
Would the bartender be able to make cocktails for us if we supplied the liquor? Is there any extra gratuity that applies to the bartender/ alcohol? Guests tipping is appreciated, if you want to do specialty cocktails we would need recipe. We set up provide and bill accordingly, per glass served. Tallied and billed at end of night.
We would like to bring in our own wine and manage bar. What supplies due we need to provide? If you are planning to bring in your own beverages, you will in turn need to provide any and all plastic ware, glassware or garnishes. You are then taking over managing the bar, we simply provide the bartender. However if you choose to have us supply beer & wine then we will provide ice, nice plastic ware and any other items needed to manage the bar.
NOTE: regardless of who is managing the bar, Market Fresh Banquet & Catering bar tender must serve all alcoholic beverages. Our bartenders have the right to refuse service to any individual. Any parties abusing this privilege, causing unruly behavior, or abusive language to staff members will be asked to leave.
Contact us today: [email protected] or 360-297-6137
FAQ -
Is the "service charge" a gratuity, or would we need to plan to tip on top of the total amount? Service charge covers as an operating cost for things such as insurance, advertising, admin staff, trucks maintenance, fuel to get to events, cocktail napkins, and various sundries. If you would like to tip servers that is up to you and their performance.
For the seating, do you transfer chairs from the ceremony site to the reception site during the cocktail hour? We stock a total of 320 chairs. Transferring depends on amount of guests. We were considering renting some brown fruitwood chairs in place of the white wood chairs; would there be any additional charges on your end for this? No additional charges, but we would want delivery on Friday by 3pm.
Is the rehearsal window flexible? If we wanted to come in earlier, say 1-4pm instead of
3-6pm, is that possible? Rehearsal window depends on availability of the garden, if
other events or tours are scheduled. We prefer to do the rehearsals on Thursdays or
Fridays after 4pm. They must be scheduled with your Sales associate, and include a
count of how many people to anticipate.
RSVP: So far we have 92 confirmed for the wedding but still have about 100 we're
waiting to hear back from. Please let us know when your final RSVP Date is.
Transport: love the idea of a signup sheet at check in to get it in guest's minds! Pretty
sure all guests in our room block would want to shuttle over, so there would likely be
about 80 needing a ride. 3 shuttles may not be enough before the wedding... do we
need to look into hiring an additional shuttle service? Yes, unfortunately I can only
accommodate so much with shuttles, we have 2 drivers on schedule. However, we have
effectively executed large number of guests via shuttle with multiple runs.
The Heronswood website says that it would be open to the public on 6/24. Is that true?
We're not in danger of having it open to the public when the ceremony is happening,
right? I imagine we'd have people onsite getting set up right at 10am onward.
Heronswood is aware that a wedding is booked. People will not be allowed in the back
by the house or reception garden. Also they will be done by 3.pm. That is why we like to
schedule ceremonies to start after 3:30pm.
Dessert: We will bring in 3 half sheet cakes plus a cheesecake (our 'cutting cake') and
possibly brownies. Will there be enough room onsite to store the cakes in a fridge or
keep them cooled until time to serve them? Need dimensions on cakes. Is there a
charge for cutting sheet cakes? Yes $200.00, unless this service is included in your
package. Will there be enough forks or should we buy those too? If we are charging a
cake cutting fee, we will provide nice hard plastic plates as well as nice plastic forks. We
use plastic for cake cutting to cut back on catering labor of transporting & washing
dishes.
Centerpieces: In lieu of floral centerpieces we've been thinking of having an homage to
our love of snacks! Is it okay if we have bowls/vases of store-bought
popcorn/olives/pretzels/etc on the table? Would that conflict with catering? I vaguely
Contact us today: [email protected] or 360-297-6137
remember you mentioning that that type of stuff would be okay to bring in for cocktail
hour too. Also curious if there's an option to include a variety of bowls as part of the
rentals. Ok to bring in, I do not have a big selection of bowls for rental. I suggest
Advance Party Store Rentals.
Lighting: Are we free to hang string lights in the reception area from poles we bring in (if necessary)? Yes, keep in mind any additional décor you bring in you are responsible for bringing the correct equipment & tools for set-up. Anything attached to the trellis must have prior approval. Any damage done to garden, plants, beds or structures you will be billed a damage fee.
