Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – THE WATERFRONT CITY OF KIRKLAND BECOMES POPULAR WASHINGTON LOCATION FOR AFFORDABLE AND UNIQUE DESTINATION WEDDINGS

Formerly for celebrities and those with big budgets, Destination Weddings have become more accessible and more popular for engaged couples looking to add a unique twist to their wedding plans.  With its fantastic views of the Seattle skyline, the Olympic Mountains and numerous waterfront parks steps away from Lake Washington, Kirkland is quickly growing in popularity as the perfect Washington Destination Wedding location. 

For those who have grown up in Washington State or attended one of its many colleges including the nearby University of Washington, Kirkland’s own Northwest University, or Lake Washington Technical College, Kirkland has been a place where memories are made.  For those who have worked either in Kirkland, Seattle or around the Eastside, Kirkland has been the perfect location for a business meeting, day in the sun or an evening of good food and entertainment.  Because of this, it is not surprising that many of these same people choose Kirkland for their wedding celebration with family and friends.

With its convenient location, only ten miles east of Seattle, twenty-two miles north of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and less than ten miles from Woodinville’s wine country, Kirkland is convenient and accessible for both in state and out of town guests.  Combined with the waterfront city’s outstanding accommodations, venues, wedding planners, caterers, florists, photographers and more, it has everything a bride and groom could need to turn their special event into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for themselves and family and friends. 

When it comes to accommodations for the wedding couple, their family, friends and guests, Kirkland offers many choices.  For those wanting to experience two of the top destination hotels, The Heathman Hotel in downtown Kirkland is centrally located to all that the city has to offer including waterfront parks and an eclectic selection of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.  The Woodmark Hotel and Yacht Club is located directly on Lake Washington at Carillon Point.  Much like a small resort, the property features outstanding accommodations, dining, a spa, several boutique-style shops and amazing view of Seattle from across the lake.  For those looking for a hotel brand that is well respected across the world, the Marriott offers their Courtyard location at Totem Lake, and for those interested in good accommodations at reasonable prices, the Baymont Inn, Carlton Inn, Comfort Inn and La Quinta Inn and Suites are all excellent choices.  There is also a Motel 6 and a few bed and breakfasts.  Information on all can be found on explorekirkland.com.

For the day before or after the ceremony, activities and itineraries for the couple and their guests abound both on the water and on land.   For those who want to explore the beauty of Lake Washington, East Puget Sound, Seattle and the Olympic Mountains, tours on the Argosy Cruise Ships or Waterways yachts are a definite must.  For others who would enjoy the lake in a more private or personalized manner, boats and kayaks are available for rent by the hour, the day or even the entire weekend.  Parasailing in the warmer months is also a popular and exciting way to take in the sights of the lake, the city and beyond. 

For those couples or guests who enjoy an “active” itinerary, the city offers many opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling, bird watching, playing golf, tennis or beach volleyball and more.  Wine lovers can tour nearby Woodinville’s wineries, local tasting rooms like Northwest Cellars or Kirkland’s own wine specialty stores, like The Grape Choice at Kirkland Marina Park.  Martini lovers can wander a few doors down to VoVina for a variety of libations with unique flavors and names.  But for those who would rather just enjoy the slow pace of a gentle stroll around the quaint city with its unique shops and art galleries, or a picnic and sunbathing at one of its many waterfront parks, Kirkland is a city that believes in taking life at your own pace.

When it comes to the rehearsal dinner, or the post-wedding brunch, the venues range from elegant sophistication, like that found at the Trellis Restaurant at The Heathman Hotel with unique plates created by Executive Chef Brian Scheehser, to family friendly, like the Crab Cracker, to casual fun like an old-fashioned crab boil by Lake Street Catering at the Marina Park Pavilion.  If seafood and a view is your desire, the incredibly popular Anthony’s Homeport Restaurant and bin on the lake are both guaranteed to please.  And if you are looking for a little entertainment during, or after, dinner or brunch, the Kirkland Performance Center and Laughs Comedy Club are two of several great choices for a venue that can be fun, a little bit different and flexible to your entertainment and catering needs. 

 For the big day of your wedding ceremony and reception, again the options are numerous.  The Woodmark Hotel, located directly on Lake Washington, is one of Kirkland’s most popular choices for the all-inclusive wedding day.  With panoramic views of the lake, Seattle and the Olympic Mountains, the waterside resort affords couples the opportunity to say “I do” any day of the week, either on the lawn under a tent or inside from one of The Woodmark Hotel’s rooms looking out on Lake Washington. It also offers them one of the most beautiful backgrounds for their wedding and day of photos.

Kirkland is also the home of a variety of churches, historic buildings, landmarks and outdoor parks and venues that are available for any type of wedding from elegant to casual, big to small.  If you can dream it, Kirkland has the perfect location for your perfect wedding day. 

Perhaps what truly makes Kirkland desired for Destination Weddings, besides the awe-inspiring scenery and the convenient location with easy access to Seattle, wine country, the San Juan Islands and more, is that Kirkland is the home of some of the most in-demand wedding planners, photographers, florists, caterers, bridal and tuxedo shops, officiants and more tapped into for weddings across the state.  Why?  Because like those couples who choose Kirkland for their Destination Wedding, Kirkland’s wedding professionals know firsthand the beauty of living and working in this unique waterfront city.  And because of Kirkland’s Destination Wedding resources, engaging the city’s professionals is more affordable and cost effective than choosing to plan a wedding further away. Many of the city’s local wedding resources can be found on www.KirklandWeddings.com or www.KirklandFirst.org.

KirklandWeddings.com also holds an annual event on February 14th called “Tie the Knot.”  Now in its fifth year, the event gives twenty-four couples in twenty-four hours the opportunity to experience a “no fuss” easy-to-plan wedding for the special low price of $350.  The special Valentine’s promotion includes a ceremony, with thirty of your closest friends, at Kirkland’s historic Heritage Hall, preset floral arrangements, decorations, recorded “wedding” music, and a retired District Judge as officiant.  Also included are the services of a professional photographer, with one 5×7 print and a keepsake bouquet and boutonniere.  On site a professional wedding coordinator is on hand to ensure that your experience is a memorable one.  It is Kirkland’s version of the Quickie Wedding commonly found in Nevada, but with a beautiful lake as the backdrop versus a strip of traffic-congested concrete and the noisy casinos found in Las Vegas.

So, whether you are eloping, planning a small destination wedding or producing a lavish, but affordable, mini vacation/wedding for your family, friends and guests, Kirkland, has everything you need to make those special moments of celebrating one of the most important events of your life truly unforgettable.   Visit www.explorekirkland.com to learn more about the City of Kirkland, WA.

MY DAY TO SANI PASS

My trip to the scenic Sani pass always remind me of the day I went there with a group of French tourists but we arrived at the hotel early morning. I always then say that we were going to “wake up” instead of going to sleep. Despite the experience Sani pass remains the most spectacular and scenic pass I have ever visited and i will always promote its protection to stay the way it is.

When shopping for your wedding needs, whether it’s wedding dresses, wedding shoes, wedding veils, wedding favors, wedding invitations, etc., it’s hard to beat the Web as there are indeed great prices to be had!  But there is an abundance of online stores making the choices overwhelming and that means there are some”fly-by-nights” that we don’t want you to fall prey to, so we hope this 5 minute read (yes, we clocked it) of tips for shopping online will help prepare you for the challenge of finding your ultimate wedding dress for the best price. As is true with many things – no pain, no gain… It’s the same when searching for a deal online; they don’t just fall into your lap.  You have to look for it, but we’re certain these tips will help put you in the driver’s seat.

DO YOUR RESEARCH

There are many wedding dress stores online. Whatever store you are considering, check out their testimonials, but remember when you do that there are always going to be a few disgruntled shoppers because quite frankly there are people out there that just aren’t happy campers no matter what and bad luck seems to follow them, so when you look through the testimonials, don’t discount a wedding dress store because of a couple bad reviews compared to hundreds of good ones. There are a couple our magazine personally recommends that you can find by going to YourWeddingDollars.com.

Find out what their return policy is. Custom made items and down and dirty priced items will probably not be returnable, unless it is damaged. So that is something else for you to weigh – for the right price – if it’s not damaged and looks anything like you saw on their website – will you be able to be happy?

Visit the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org to see if they are in good standing.

Call the company – this is a big one… Do they answer the phone, is the person that answers the phone knowledgeable?

You are probably all over the web looking at things for your wedding and with that you will see websites that advertise online wedding dress stores. Notice which ones you see most often because they will be the most reputable ones.

When it comes to the concern about not being able to try the wedding gowns on ahead of time to make sure the style suits you. That’s what the bridal stores are for. Go try on sleeveless and long sleeve, straight and sleek or big and full, ivory and white, short, long, with trains and without. Then armed with your notes, go online and find the one you want. You can even go to designer stores and look at specific brands like Dessy, Alfred Angelo, Jessica McClintock and Vera Wang and then go to your online wedding dress store of choice (after doing all your homework from above on them) and find either the exact designer dresses or really good copycats by dozens of wonderful designers.

Buying online offers convenience and great pricing, but it also can have some risk.  You’re paying upfront without directly seeing or trying on merchandise and you could potentially be opening yourself up to identify theft, but here are some ways to reduce that risk:

SHOP SAFELY

When looking for your wedding dress online, go with brands and websites you know.

Shop online stores that have been recommended to you from friends, family, and websites you know and trust.

Be sure you see https:// at the top of your screen where the Web address is displayed. The “s” after “http” indicates the site is secure.

You may also want to call the company to ask about its privacy policy or look for their privacy policy on their website.

Do not send money to a site that doesn’t have a physical address or a phone number for customer service.

Pay for your wedding dress with a credit card. This is another biggy! If you are unsatisfied, quite often you can get your credit card company to reverse the charges, if your reasons are valid.

Trust your instincts; if you don’t feel comfortable or if you feel pressured, don’t buy it.

OTHER NOTES TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN PURCHASING A WEDDING DRESS ONLINE:

Obviously, the fit of your wedding dress is also a concern when buying online, but that shouldn’t be a big worry.  If it’s not a perfect fit (although it should be really close so long as you measure yourself accurately and use your website’s size charts), wedding dresses can usually be altered up to 2 sizes in either direction, and even with any added cost to alter the dress, you’re wedding dress is still sure to be priced well below retail!

Many of the wedding gowns can take some time to get, so ORDER EARLY.  Online Designer dresses at prices well below retail are not “off the rack” orders.  Be sure you call them to check stock information.  Do not just order online; talk to a live person.  It’s worth the extra couple of minutes to confirm your choice is available!

Want to book an affordable vacation in Belize, perhaps even a Belize Honeymoon Package, staying in a top luxury hotel then choose Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort.

An affordable Vacation staying in a luxury hotel anywhere in the Caribbean is a difficult thing to find, but have you considered Belize. There is a place close to Hopkins Village in the south of Belize that plays host to a great luxury hotel and resort that would be perfect for your honeymoon in Belize, and best of all, not too expensive, so it would be an affordable vacation as well. It is called the Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort.

With only 19 rooms the Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort can also lay claim to be the top boutique hotel in Belize, very secluded, very elegant, and beachfront as well. In fact it is more than secluded it is isolated, and in fact almost totally unspoiled, and this is one of its great charms, and a big reason why it is a popular choice for a honeymoon in Belize. It means the evenings are a real relaxation time with no distractions, which is great when you are taking a Belize honeymoon package, for that is just what you want. If you want to dress up in the evening that is fine, but equally if you want to be casual, either way you will never feel uncomfortable.

A couple of recommendations, the first is to take the full meal plan, the all inclusive option which by the way excludes drinks! You will find the food delicious with good choices especially at dinner. The food is so obviously freshly made, and the best tribute that can be given is to say that whilst it was gourmet, it was also just like home cooking, so it wasn’t like eating in a restaurant all the time.

The food plans do however include tours out of the hotel, every day if you want, and the adventure trips are a great deal of fun, with very knowledgeable guides who will teach you a great deal about Belize.

The Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort is situated on a lovely beach, and has a great pool, but for those guests seeking a Dive resort, then they are very much in the right place. You can get all the instruction you need as a novice, and for the more experienced the dive masters are as good as you will find anywhere, they know the best places to dive, and they make it all fun.

There is no doubt you will be treated like royalty by the exceptionally good staff, who will take the time to learn your name. It is hard to believe that such an exclusive luxury hotel can at the same time allow you to have an affordable vacation, because the staff make you feel so special.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained and looked after, and if you get the chance, then book one of the Tree House Honeymoon Suites. They are huge with a very large veranda with a hot tub.

The Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort is like an oasis, and if it is possible the Tree House Suites are almost like an oasis within an oasis, with the sounds of the night in the lush greenery so close and lulling you to sleep.
