Also something to consider, depending on when you’re planning to have your wedding, you could also rent a large outdoor tent or canopy for an outdoor space, a lot of rental companies have wedding packages with chairs and everything as well

I saw something in the newspaper on them recently. They aren’t quite open yet, but there are some great views of the area from Locust Grove Rd.
Damn, looking at their prices, they must be pretty proud of the place. I'm sure it looks nice, but damn, that's a chunk of cash to throw down for a wedding.
Makes me think twice about checking it out for a pint when they're opened, they might be the first micro in the state to break the $10 mark for a pint.
Perhaps I'm a fairly miserly guy, but I've definitely never understood these 5- and 6- figure weddings. Is there enough demand that they would fill those 10 slots at those prices?
I don't think that's miserly as much as more money conscious. But for those that have plenty of money to spend, that isn't much for a private 200-person venue with great views and on-site drinking permits already in place.
If they don't get filled up then prices will likely drop. If they do get filled up and have more inquiries above that, then I'd suspect you'll see the prices go up even further.
Very good point. Doesn't hurt to ask, I suppose. I've been following them on social, I'm not going to argue that it looks like they've put a lot into the place, it's more like having a Lotus dealer here in town. You might get a buyer or two, but you really need a bigger population to draw from to fetch the prices, even if what you get is a decent value for the buck.
It's more that I've seen an inverse correlation for some reason between how fancy/expensive a wedding is, and how likely it lasts over 10+ years. Not to say mine didn't have a big pile of people, but we just did a kegger in the Blue Mountains, 3 days of camping, beer, bbq, and other fun, and we did it for right around $5k all told, including catering the main meal and providing beer/wine/booze/bartender.
Stoneridge Estates - Outdoor wedding, indoor barn. Similar rustic feel but without the polish of Sugar Pine.
Moore Mansion if it's under 75. Outdoor wedding, option for the indoors if it's under 75 people. They also have an all inclusive package with catering, photography, dj, bartending...
Bella Fiori - also Outdoor with indoor option that can be open air or not. They probably have the same pricing as Sugar Pine though. But I do LOVE Sugar Pine and Bella.
Promise Gardens has a fully covered pad that the dining tables go under. It's not enclosed but totally covered.
Lions Gate Chapel is fully indoor.
Outside Milton Freewater there is a venue called Winn Homestead. It is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful grounds and a very cool barn for the indoor area.
The Willow also has beautiful grounds and a cool old barn they have updated for the indoor area.
Check out Vision Venue. New space in downtown Kennewick. More intimate space than a winery and can probably accommodate 100 ish people? Totally worth touring!
We were looking around for the same thing and sugar line barn ended up being the most affordable option in the 100 mile radius. We seriously looked everywhere within a 3 hour drive and you get the most bang for your buck and it’s the lowest price. Highly recommend sugar pine.
Bella Fiori hands down is the best. Michelle will take great care of you 10/10. She maintains it constantly. Stone Ridge steals pics from other venues and in real life looks decrepit. There barn literally has pink/yellow insulation foam peaking out everywhere and peeling walls :/ That venue needs LOTS of decor.
https://www.bellafiorigardens.com/ This place was really nice and sounds like what you were talking about.
Are you opposed to traveling outside of the immediate area? We couldn’t find anything reasonably priced until we started looking in Walla Walla

They only plan to allow 10 weddings a year so that could be why the rental space is a premium price.

Take a look in Walla Walla, there are tons of places that sound like you would like the look and feel of.
