For tents and other supplies (tables, chairs, china, utensils, linen), contact:
Michael Stadler at Stadler Photography is our favorite island photographer. He has a patient way with children and adults alike, and his pictures come out looking very beautiful and natural. Most of our weddings and many of our family reunions have used Michael.
Melissa Brown at Flying Bear Farm & Design located in Langley has created amazing floral arrangements for our Quintessa couples and events.
Marina Villarreal at Coupeville Florist also has some beautiful arrangements.
If you would like some guitar music, Quinn Fitzpatrick is an island favorite.
For a swing jazz ensemble, Kristi O'Donnell at Trio Nouveau is the musician to contact.
For transportation to and from the airport, and also to and from your venue and your accommodations, please see Whidbey Shuttle. Request the "Ken's Korner" (or "Langley/Clinton") stop in Clinton.
For the ferry, you will want to use the Mukilteo/Clinton schedule.
We also have a taxi service on the island who can take you from the ferry to The Quintessa or from Ken's Korner to The Quintessa:
Overflow cars from The Quintessa can be parked at The Little Brown Church down the hill. Please contact them first to see if they have availability that weekend, and if they are still going by donation or whether they have a fee this year. Their names are George and Lila Mills 360.579.2007 or email them at gwmills@comcast.net.
Billy Ducharme at Island Concierge can put up and take down your wedding or Rehearsal dinner. This gives you the option of spending quality time saying goodbye, relaxing, and reflecting on your day rather than having to clean up, rinse dishes or take down tables and chairs.
Located in Seattle, Whidbey Island local Sarah Santosa at Calla Bridal offers a wonderful wedding dress experience ~ comfortable, friendly and fun! Find The Gown that is just perfect for you!

"We chose to host our families and close friends at the Quintessa for our Wedding this May.
If I had to do it over again, I'd come back to The Quintessa in a heartbeat!
Not only are the grounds beautiful (the vines and flowers were blooming and full of greenery),
but Carrie and Tessa were so helpful and attentive.
They truly helped make our wedding and stay perfect and memorable.
They think of all the small touches when they prepared the house for our family stay thanks to the Welcome sign, special message book and lots of resources within the house to enjoy the surrounding Whidbey area and the house.
We had a full house with multiple families and kids ranging from 4 months to 9 years old.
There was always something for the kids to enjoy thanks to their treasure trove of toys in the basement as well as the main floor
(made for some cute videos and photos). Air Hockey kept the older kids entertained as well as the costumes.
The grounds were great as well for exploring and enjoying nature.
In addition, the lush and beautiful landscaping made for BEAUTIFUL WEDDING photos and backgrounds!
It's also in a great location to go exploring. We traveled north to Deception Pass and decided on the 1 hour tour by Deception Pass Tours. We got a treat when we were 15 minutes out and were surrounded by Orcas!!! This was a truly magical experience on Whidbey. When we had last minute items we forgot, Carrie and Tessa came through right away!
As a bride, I don't think I had any stress thanks to their well stocked and thought out home and fast reactions.
I can't thank them enough for a wonderful experience."
