They say Practice Makes Perfect. But time ...
Make one of the most important and beautiful events of your lives even better, more unique, and most importantly, rewardingly bonding with a weeklong wedding on Whidbey Island.
Your family maybe close by. They maybe from all around the world. They may already be very close. Or ... some of them may have never met in person before.
A weeklong wedding at The Quintessa presents the time and space to bond two families into one. What could be more precious and rewarding!
Imagine a Thursday or Friday to set up for your wedding. A Friday rehearsal dinner close by at a seaside restaurant? A Saturday wedding? A Sunday farewell brunch for friends and family. The rest of the week to start a pre-honeymoon exploring and enjoying the island.

There are beautiful venues throughout the island with all kinds of views and settings. If you do not find something that matches your vision, we have additional venues we can send to you as well. These include camping possibilities for your guests or an ocean view that you may need to hike to. The links we have recommended are locations many of our Quintessa guests have used. We are happy to house you and your guests for lodging as we are close to many of these venues.

There are many wonderful venues on Whidbey for your ceremony and reception. We are located conveniently to most of these venues. This would allow you to choose from a variety of venues while keeping The Quintessa for your lodging needs.

"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."
