With a passion for fine dining, they entrusted Coho Restaurant, a local gem, to curate a feast that would dazzle their guests from the very beginning. The welcome included light and refreshing fruit salads, rich tuna poke, a selection of nuts, and warm beverages, setting a tone of warmth and hospitality. As the day progressed, the cocktail hour introduced a lavish spread of passed appetizers featuring the likes of seared wagyu, sesame ginger glazed pork belly, crispy tofu, and mouth-watering flatbreads, complemented by a sophisticated oyster bar. The culinary masterpiece was the seven-course dinner, a showcase of the finest local ingredients. Guests were treated to a parade of dishes, including delicate scallops, Washington State clams, spicy seafood tagliatelle, and sumptuously smoked beef short ribs, each course more impressive than the last. Elevating the festive atmosphere were the wedding’s signature cocktails – Pina Colada and Paloma. These fruity and refreshing beverages were carefully chosen to mirror the laid-back, summery vibe of the wedding, offering a sip of bliss with every toast.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]
A unique touch that truly set this wedding apart was the customized luggage tags used as escort cards. Each guest’s name was carefully carved onto a tag, which was then thoughtfully attached to a straw bag. This inventive detail not only guided guests to their seats but also embraced the laid-back holiday vibe of the event, making for a memorable and personalized keepsake that guests could cherish long after the celebration ended.

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Another bespoke element that added a touch of seaside sophistication to the reception was the use of oyster shells as name cards. Each shell was artfully painted gold on the outside and pearl white on the inside, providing a luxurious yet natural feel to the table settings. An artist carefully handwrote each guest’s name on the shells, blending elegance with personalization. This creative choice not only complemented the beach holiday theme but also served as a beautiful keepsake for guests, encapsulating the essence of the day in a unique and meaningful way.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]In an exciting twist of timing, the wedding took place just one day before Mengting’s graduation ceremony, adding an extra layer of celebration to the weekend. The festivities were so engaging and joy-filled that guests nearly missed the ferry back to Seattle! We find this moment of light-hearted urgency illustrated the immersive enjoyment and unforgettable atmosphere of the wedding, leaving everyone with memories filled with laughter and shared happiness.[/field]
