We did the wine blending class and it was interesting. We had friends stay there last year and did this and they actually got to take with them their own blend but they have now changed their policy so that is no longer the case. So not sure what the purpose of the blending class is?!? Other than to educate you on how different the taste is with each varietal. But we did get a bottle of wine of our choice (Malbec wasn't available and was the favorite) and all of this was free! Also the same evening, Tsillan Cellars was doing a free tasting at the hotel and that was very fun. The owners were there and were very engaging and friendly. We ate at the rooftop restaurant and unfortunately didn't have a good experience. One of our party got sick, the food was "ok", our server was fine. Nothing great to report there. There is a coffee shop on the street level that was fabulous. Friendly staff and the food choices are amazing .... It was an expensive trip but we felt with the amenities this hotel comes with, it's worth it. Now Woodinville in general and the whole wine tasting experience....thats a different review that's not as favorable haha

Had to wait in the lobby until 4:40 to get our keys holding garment bags and suitcases. Finally get up to our room and the Tv doesn't work. Tried to call the front desk and the phone doesn't work. Had to walk back down to the front desk and was told he would call the service provider and the phone and tv should work. Still waiting we shall see. The hotel is beautiful. The staff are not very helpful in addressing issues. I would not spend over $500 again to stay here. Best western would be better. Very disappointed Been an hour now and still no TV or phone. Guess just going to bed.

Great viewing space; there are parts of the balcony that is solid concrete (so only adults are tall enough/ can see) but also balcony area with glass panels so little ones can see the street. The dining room area and play area inside is super amazingly beautiful (we only sat in the waiting area couches before and after the parade) Totally worth it will come back next year for the parade! They also validate parking!!

Finding a venue is probably the most stressful part of wedding planning. We researched for weeks,…read morelooking for the venue that felt right for us. We looked at many options online and were able to narrow our list down to a small handful. After our first few venue visits, we figured we would have to settle in one way or another. Then, I searched for wedding venues in Woodinville and came upon a true hidden gem in Liljebeck Farms.  The venue wasn't advertised on the big websites and I hadn't heard of it before. I reached out to Tami and scheduled a visit. When we arrived for the tour we were greeted by Tami who is an absolutely wonderful human. She showed us around the venue and shared the history of the location and her family. Upon walking into the ceremony space, my husband and each I fell in love with it immediately. The venue is everything we wanted and more. The lighting is bright, modern, and inviting. The location has tons of parking spaces for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony. We were able to choose our own vendors and build the wedding of our dreams! The groom's dressing room is just as thoughtfully crafted as the bride's. The bar is stylish and creative. There are fun lawn games for guests. There is a rental room that has a huge selection of beautiful decor free to use for your wedding. Every detail of the venue is well thought out, from the wood to the flooring, the dance area, and the tables. Tami and her husband worked hard to make their venue into a stylish canvas upon which to paint the wedding experience of your dreams. We also scheduled time to visit the venue throughout the year of planning. Tami was very responsive and welcoming. We even came up with ideas for enhancements, and Tami and Todd updated the space to improve the experience for us and their future guests. On the day of the wedding, Tami and her family were so helpful! They helped hang things, move items, lighting, and so, so much more. This is a venue that is beyond professional. They go for the ride with you. They care about their couples and want their  day to be truly special. A lot of care goes into each and every detail to create this beautiful environment. I couldn't imagine a better place to commit to my husband and I am thankful we found this gem.

Unfortunately, the bar situation put a damper on the night. The alcohol rules were odd: a three-shot minimum and no neat pours. Later, alcohol service was stopped altogether because someone got sick and puked. I understand wanting to manage the situation responsibly, but shutting down service for everyone was a major buzzkill. Gorgeous venue with plenty of potential, but the restrictive and inconsistent bar experience took away from the event.

The owners - Patti and Jeff - are SO kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. They have done an amazing job creating this venue and thinking of every amenity possible to elevate the guest experience. I really appreciated that they already had tables and chairs and that I didn't need to spend extra money to rent those. Patti was also super responsive to my million+ questions and always answered in such a kind way. My favorite part about the venue was how customizable it is. You can literally choose any spot for your ceremony, dinner, cocktail hour, etc. I loved this so that I could execute my vision and be creative. 10000% recommend them.

I went to the Sammamish Valley Grange 286 building earlier today to watch a fascinating play by the…read moreHeart Repertory Theatre called "Constellations." For the purposes of this play, the building is a smallish, intimate venue. Watching a play here meant that I was able to vividly see the actors' expressions, and that I was able to distinctly hear the actors' dialogue and their changing tones of voice, while watching this play. This enhanced the experience for me significantly. Let's see, what else can I say. Convenient location, small parking lot for maybe 20 - 30 cars (we did snag a parking space in the building's lot today, hurray!), basic and sufficient restroom facilities (there are two stalls in the ladies' restroom, and the toilet paper was well stocked today), and gleaming hardwood floors in the main room of the Grange. I enjoyed my time here! I thought that it was a great choice for a venue for an indoor theatre play.

I am writing this to say ditto to everything from Hayley J's review! We just had our wedding here…read moreat the end of July and used the garden space for the ceremony, the patio space for cocktail hour and dancing, and the Hall for dinner. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for what we were looking for! That being said, there are definitely some limitations with this venue, so I've tried to list them below. Pros: - Very affordable, even on a Saturday afternoon/evening in the middle of the summer! (check their website for current rates: https://www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/parks/Permits_and_Reservations/Facility_Rentals/heritage_hall.htm#rentalhours). - No limitations on catering/bartending. You can hire whoever you wish to cater! - Air conditioning! This wasn't something I thought would be such a big benefit, but this summer the heat was atrocious and having the AC was such a relief. - 2 bathrooms (one on ground level, one downstairs). - I feel like this beautiful location was made for a wedding. Guests could flow so easily between each space (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner), there were fantastic spots for wedding photos (e.g., the steps in front of Heritage Hall, the dock of Kirkland Marina Boat Launch, the huge gazebo at Marina Park Pavilion), and there were tons of bars just down the street in downtown Kirkland to choose from for the after party (we went to Flatstick Pub!). - The ladies at the City of Kirkland were so nice and easy to work with. I was planning this entire wedding from across the country and they answered all my questions and tried to help out in every way possible leading up to the big day. Thank you Lourdes and Nicci! - Check out their facebook page to really see how this wonderful space has been used by others for weddings and other events: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heritage-Hall/161827740497253 Cons: - Limited space. The indoor part of this venue is only an option for those with a small number of guests (max capacity in the Hall is 70). We only had a wedding of 62 people, and I still had fears about fitting everyone inside Heritage Hall and having them seated for dinner. It ended up working out, but the tables and chairs weren't the recommended distance apart that all the stuff online suggests so I'm sure everyone felt cozy. - Parking. Not the most fun because there is no dedicated parking for events and the spaces directly around Heritage Hall are all metered or time-limited (e.g., 4 hours, which wasn't long enough for our wedding). I think our guests either parked farther away or moved their cars halfway through. - No chairs/tables for outside. The venue comes with 15 rectangular tables and 70 chairs that you can use inside of the Hall, but you have to separately bring or rent chairs and cocktail tables if you wish to have any outside. You also can't have equipment dropped off in advance or left beyond your rental period, so you need to pay to have same-day drop off and pick up. It ended up costing over $500 to hire a rental company just to drop off and pick up 52 chairs and 4 cocktail tables w/linens, so that was an extra expense I hadn't initially anticipated. - No AV system. This isn't really an issue inside Heritage Hall because the space is small enough it's easy to project your voice, but we ended up renting an AV system for $200 to use outside for music/mic during the ceremony and dancing. If you do this, just note there is only 1 outlet on the outside of Heritage Hall on the patio, so you may need to get extension cords. - No real kitchen (only mini-fridge). This might be an issue if you plan on having true catering or need to keep items cold. - Alcohol could only be beer and wine; no cocktails, hard liquor, or beer kegs. This was fine for us, but if you plan on having signature cocktails, you'll need to look elsewhere. Overall, if you are looking for space to host a small, simple wedding with no frills but amazing grounds and easy access to other locations for catering options, photos, and after party, I can't recommend Heritage Hall enough.

This location was absolutely perfect for our small wedding (50 people). It's a beautiful old…read morebuilding with gorgeous gardens. It was great for so many reasons - we could say, Hey our location only holds 60 people so we have to keep it small, sorry! The people at the city of Kirkland were so easy to work with, and it had air conditioning (which was great for our 95 degree wedding day on June 30th)! The slight downside of working with the city is that you can only preview the location during weekday working hours, and you only get 15 minutes to walk around, but believe me, that's all you need. We were all worried we would be rushed, but we walked in and you enter right into the room from the front doors, and it's all right there. There is a bathroom downstairs you could get ready in that you can't really see from the info on the website. There are plenty of tables and chairs available as well, but they are only to be used indoors, which worked out great for us. You can't find a better location right next to the water for the same price point. We were very pleased!
