We just had our wedding here (Aug 2025) and it turned out amazing! The property is large and it has…read moreso many different areas. Each area feels so different and has it's own special character, so we proposed having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in three different locations. It added a lot of complexity but it was totally worth it. We found a spot in the forest that seemed to have promise for the ceremony and Linda, the amazing venue operator, was 100% all in and willing to make it happen. It required a LOT of work on their part (extensive weeding, clearing, hiring an arborist to trim tree limbs, widening trails, putting up string lights, running a super long extensive cord to get power down here, etc) but Linda and her team did it all and more, at their expensive, and it looked incredible. She was super proactive every step of the way and had a lot of great ideas, and was totally willing to put the work in and your vision happen. She was like our second wedding coordinator - so appreciated! The venue has great parking, a huge green lawn area (our reception area), lovely forest trails, a quaint peaceful 'glamping tent' area (which we actually used for our Cocktail Hour, with the tent removed, worked great!), a 'lodge' house on the property for the bride and groom to prep and family to stay over, and of course the beautiful horses. Foxglove has a ton of new, beautiful live edge Douglas Fir tables that you can use, included. The crafted tables we're really beautiful and added to the special character of the event. We got a good deal on the 2025 pricing since we were kind of last minute (last minute in the wedding world at least) and filled an open August weekend, which was much appreciated. It looks like their 2026 pricing bumped up quite a bit but I think they'll have even more to offer in 2026, from what Linda has said. In 2025 there wasn't any kind of kitchen area for the caterer to use, which was a little challenging/expensive for off-island caterers, but it sounds like they'll be offering a cool converted army tent trailer kitchen for next season. The bathroom situation here isn't the best as the only bathrooms are at the lodge house (which kind of exposed guests to chaotic catering zone and the chaotic decor/bride staging area). There is also a very charming bathroom structure at the 'glamping tent' area, but the toilet itself is really more camping style. It totally worked and they did some kind of voodoo magic process so it didn't smell one bit, and nobody seemed to care. It wasn't really a problem for our group size (67) but it would be better if you rent some nice bathrooms, or perhaps Foxglove will eventually build some more on site. It's a fairly new venue so I could see them investing in that. Many of our guests got to Vashon early, or even spent the weekend on Vashon - everyone really enjoyed the small town atmosphere, some great restaurants and coffee shops, and the hiking/kayaking, etc. We were a little worried about the island travel being a deterrent to guests but everyone loved it and enjoyed the vacation feeling of it all. 5 big stars to Foxglove, Linda and her team. Our wedding far surpassed our expectations. Highly recommended!!!

Incredible dinner experience at the Olalla Vineyard and Winery! My husband booked a reservation for…read morethe two of us for a special weekend dinner event to help celebrate my birthday. (Check out their website for events dates and details.) It's a private small group, intimate multi-course dinner experience with only a handful of other guests. As you arrive, you're greeted with a glass of wine and a few appetizers. The stuffed grape leaves with fig and Gorgonzola cheese were spectacular! Really packed with flavor in a few bites. The event is hosted by the owner, where she guides the group to the vines and gives a history of the vineyard and such. As we move through the vineyard, we heard from our chef and where all our food was sourced, and how it was prepared. We are then guided to a large table with fresh bread and butter as the next several courses are served. The cedar planked salmon with strawberry balsamic chutney was the highlight of the meal. The salmon was tender and moist, and strawberry atop was the best flavor combination. Each pairing of wine throughout the evening was perfect, everything went well with each dish. The best was the specially served 2016 Semillon Ice Wine Wahluke Slope! Literally the best tasting wine I've ever had, light but packed with flavor. To wrap up our dinner experience we were served a rhubarb crisp and could purchase wine to take home. My husband and I took home two bottles: 2024 Pinot Gris from Yakima Valley which we were served. It was about a three hour dinner experience - worth it for a special occasion!

Gig Harbor Yacht Club is a delight - Rent Here! I had the…read morepleasure of assisting with an event held at the Gig Harbor Yacht Club last night and was so impressed! Having planned and executed many events, I can absolutely see why my friends picked this location. Here are just a few reasons why I was impressed: The view is lovely, and the location is perfect! The Yacht Club could not have been better to work with! Forgive me, the gentleman who was in charge was incredible but, for the life of me, I cannot remember his name! If I figure it out, I will absolutely let you know! There is A LOT of parking! Yay! They have a spacious entry (with a coat rack, thank you very much) making registration a breeze. Lots and lots of round tables and cushioned chairs - no, really. Not a single folding chair to be found! The main banquet area is so well laid out. They also have a spacious bar area with a delightful herd of tall cocktail tables in the back. Julia, who ran the bar that night, along with her assistant, Mitch, were rock stars! Fast and Fabulous! They were professional and always had a smile, I love that. As you walk in, you see a lot of room for lots of tables without it seeming tight. A giant, pulldown screen for projection. A nice podium (having been a teacher for a decade, I know podiums!). A pretty terrific sound system with (I am guessing they are part of the package, but not absolutely sure...you may need to check with them) nice microphones! They were so great about adjusting the volumes for the music and the speakers, as needed. Great lighting!! A GIANT PRO KITCHEN! Again, you will need to find out what is available to rent. We had a caterer, but the kitchen is gorgeous! NICE BATHROOMS!!! YAY!!! Seriously, this is a fantastic rental space. You really should consider it; you will thank me!

The Club had plenty of parking space. The bar area is large and well furnished and there's plenty of space for a 4 piece band. The main seating area could have hosted 200 people with great tables and chairs. There's plenty of dance floor space between the bar and band area. The kitchen was very good and well outfitted for our caterers needs. I didn't give GHYC all 5 stars because we did have few issues that were partly the clubs responsibilities and partly our caterers. GHYC is very reasonable priced and the Event Manager was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process!

Clean facility, rooms, and common areas. Nice people working there…read more A few things to be aware of: 1. In the quest to save money on electricity, the hotel has installed brilliant blue-white LED lights in most room lamps and all bathroom fixtures. Terrible idea. Why is this mentioned? If you're waking up, it's great -- but if you're trying to get some sleep, that frequency of visible light screams "WAKE UP!" Even though you're feeling tired, the light unavoidably wakes up your brain and body. Terrible idea. Hint: put warmer (white light shifted toward the red end of the spectrum) in the lights in the bedroom, and perhaps (if equipped) an overhead light in the loo, so your guests aren't robbed of sleep. Did I mention that this is a terrible idea? Minus one point. 2. The parking slots are on a slight incline. Why does this matter? There is no brake on the luggage carts, and if you're there alone (or solo-loading the bags onto the cart), it's exciting to have to chase the cart as it rolls away -- toward other cars. Unload your vehicle at the hotel entrance, or risk your 50-pound suitcases meeting the nearby expensive-to-fix Mercedes or Beemer. 3. The breakfast buffet: very unexciting. The coffee? Mehhh. Condiments? Almost non-existent. The few dollars in the tip jar? Find a Starbucks or Peet's.

We arrived just after 10pm and were promptly greeted by friendly staff who were informative and helpful during our check in. Things were dated inside: carpet, fixtures, and the elevator. Everything felt sticky. When we arrived at our room, there was the most bizarre smell. We immediately had to air the room out. The windows did not have screens and would only open a couple inches, as there was a screwed in metal bar preventing it from opening further. The carpets were crunchy. There was hair on our pillows. Something hit my ankle as soon as I laid down. Based on the cleanliness of the room, we opted not to try the breakfast the next morning and left as soon as we woke up without a shower. The room was basically on the freeway and was incredibly loud. It almost is not noticeable if you have the windows closed and the AC on. The fumes from the freeway come right into the room first thing in the morning, if you crack the windows.
