Why couples pick Seattle
Seattle typically lands in the $17,000 range for venue spend alone, with all-in 2026 wedding budgets running ~3.5–4× that depending on guest count and style. Peak weekends (Jul–Sep) book out 12–18 months in advance — the off-season window of Nov–Mar is where real value lives.
