Affordable classic venue with food

in Washington-Seattle
I have a budget of about $5000 for food, beverages and venue, including all the table/serving stuff too. I want a warm, candle-lite dinner, in a simple but classic room. I want to provide a full, delicious meal but it need not be fancy or complex- just simple, delicious food. I want a place to fill with flowers and candles and have a giant family dinner. A place to get ready on-site would be great but isn't necessary. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

    Where abouts are you looking?
    Eastside
    Seattle
    Kirkland
    Mukilteo
    Bellingham
    Tacoma
    Renton

    Also do you have a ceremony site already or are you looking for both ceremony and reception rolled into 1?

    Are you wanting the venue to INCLUDE the flowers? because Idk if that is possible to find all that for 5g... definitely depends on where you're looking and may be cheaper to find some place that doesn't include the venue+food (ex: My venue=1g and incldudes tables and chairs. my caterer=2,200 and delicious, so I'm definitely under 5g for those two things)

    I agree with PP, help us narrow down your area and we can give you a bunch of suggestions!

    You guys are so amazing!!! Thank you!! I live in Seattle, so that would be best but I am pretty open to location, since I know my budget and style (indoor, full dinner etc...) is limiting. I do need to do the ceremony at the same location- thank you for reminding me to mention that! Flowers can be a totally separate expense and additional vendor. Looking at about 75-100 people, but can stick to the lower end if the place is great but can't do the huger range. Everything feels too funky or fancy for me. I love those styles but they don't really fit us. We want warm, classic, simple elegance, if that makes any sense! Thank you again! I am so overwhelmed!

    To me this seems classic- you and I may have different tastes!

    They do not have catering on site it looks like, but do have a list of prederred vendors.

    Clise Mansion is pretty popular- It is in Redmond-Marymoore Park

    Both include tables and chairs. I know you can have the Ceremony at CLise Mansion as well.

    We (thanks to firsttimers) are going to get married at lighthouse park in Mukilteo and do the reception at the Rosehill Community center (so pretty) it is around 1100  for both less deposits. You have to provide your own caterer.

    Are you against hotels? I know FI hates hotel weddings if not I can find some more recommendations.

    Thank you! I will definitely check these out! Not against hotel weddings at all- I actually love the ease of getting ready on site and staying in a room the nite of the wedding! Just found most to be too expensive or not very warm feeling. I live the little boutique hotels downtown but too expensive. Thank you again!
