Refined Elegance at The Rainier Club

Toby and Sarah's love story began while Sarah was walking her dog, Peanut. Both outdoor enthusiasts, the two continued to have frequent chance encounters while walking their dogs ... and helping each other find their lost dogs. It wasn't long before Toby, a real estate agent and Sarah, a dermatologist realized that their coincidental meetings were serendipitous and soon thereafter their relationship bloomed and Toby asked Sarah to marry him.

With only a 2.5 month long engagement planned, Sarah and Toby commissioned wedding planner BreeAnn Gale from Pink Blossom Events to pull together a top-notch team of wedding vendors to produce an elegant wedding at The Rainier Club. Packed with details and memorable moments, the wedding focused on creating a welcoming guest experience from the moment they walked through the door.

As guests arrived at the venue, they were greeted with a signature cocktail and escorted to the ceremony area via a candlelit staircase, and accompanied by a duo playing upbeat tunes. Following the ceremony, guests were invited to mingle in the Rainier Room which featured a photo booth and live jazz music, while they enjoyed an array of specialty drinks and bites including a chef-attended carving station. Following cocktail hour, guests traveled to the Heritage Room where they were seated for a full-course dinner and were then welcomed back into the Rainier Room for an evening of dessert, music and dancing, including a-dance off between the bridal party which included Sarah & Toby's kids, nieces and nephews.
