Parson’s Garden Elopement in Seattle, WA

Parson’s Garden is such a hidden gem in Seattle, and it’s perfect for elopements! This Parson’s Garden elopement was no exception. We started the day with a private first look in the trees! This park has such a romantic hidden garden feel. Right by the garden is an overlook of Puget Sound and some beautiful stairs that are worth visiting! We got portraits there and in the garden before starting their ceremony.

Their ceremony was on the stone platform under the trees. In my opinion, this is the best spot in the garden to hold your ceremony! You’ll have to let me know what you think. After their ceremony and family portraits, we headed to Staple & Fancy, an AMAZING Italian restaurant in the heart of Ballard. This is where the couple held their reception dinner, which could not have been more romantic. It was the perfect venue for their small guest list! I have since suggested this spot to so many friends! My in-laws came to visit, and I had to send them there. They loved it!

Planning your Seattle elopement somewhere like Parson’s Garden and ending at a nice restaurant is the perfect plan for a guest list of around 10-20 people.
