Frequently Asked Questions

How do i reserve a date for my event?

Contact us through the above form or by calling 206-390-2902. We will discuss your event, look at available dates and initiate a contract. Once the contract is signed and your deposit received, your event booking is finalized.

What is included in the venue fee?

Included in the basic Venue Fee is use of the Meadow and Star Pavilion for the time specified in your event contract, use of our reception dining tables and chairs. Full Event clients may also have a style consultation with the owner and access to the Starlight Store, the curated table décor and rentable furniture vintage collection of the venue. Use of these unique and popular items saves substantial time and money when styling and staging your event. Additional fees apply if you are interested in having an antique car available for photo opportunities, or would like to rent The Cottage for overnight guests.

WHAT HAPPENS IF the weather does not cooperate?

Our Star Pavilion is 30' x 60' wide, and can offer sun/rain protection for up to 100 guests. With some creative planning, the ceremony can also held under the tent as our arches are movable. For hot sunny days we can install a misting system and have 2 commercial fans, for cold days we have 3 propane patio heaters.

HOW DO I RESERVE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY FOR MULTIPLE DAYS IF i WANT TO CREATE A "wEDDING wEEKEND"?

Starlight Meadows believes the days leading up to and after your Big Day should be fun and memorable too. That's why we offer a rare overnight option for friends and family; reserve the The Starlight Cottage on the property (for an additional fee), and you can house up to 11 guests for 3 days or more. This creates a relaxing environment to realize your event dreams and plans as you are on site and can determine your own rehearsal time and begin set up at your leisure (weather permitting). Your event date must be booked on a weekend with no other scheduled events, which means you need to plan in advance to take advantage of this unique option.
