The Romantic & Intimate Place For Your Seattle and Tacoma Weddings

A great wedding location between Seattle and Tacoma in King County, Washington




Hello, and thank you for visiting our Weddings by the Sound web site.

Weddings by the Sound was founded by Elsie Dillard in 1999. Elsie and her friends used to spend many evenings on her deck gazing across Puget Sound at the beautiful and romantic sunsets over the Olympic Mountains of Washington state. The views can be truly breathtaking, and Elsie decided that others should be able to view this wonderful vista also. She immediately thought of the couples that may be contemplating marriage. And what better location for a romantic and intimate wedding with this wonderful backdrop - day or night. And Weddings by the Sound was born.

Elsie Dillard

Elsie Dillard is well known throughout the travel world as one of the pioneers in bringing the traditional British bed & breakfast institution to the U.S.A. With Elsie at the helm, her former company, Elsie from England, has arranged thousands of travel packages to Britain and Ireland for people that wanted to sample the British bed & breakfast way of life. This type of travel took a lot of coordination and Elsie's skills and talents in this field made it look so easy. Easy it was not, however, and Elsie's commitment to customer service and going the extra mile often made her the number one choice for people wishing to travel to Britain and Ireland from all areas of the U.S.A.

Seattle - Tacoma Weddings

Elsie has applied the same organizational skills and talents to operating Weddings by the Sound - a truly romantic and intimate wedding location situated between Seattle and Tacoma. Her commitment to going above and beyond what ordinary wedding locations have on offer has made her a firm favorite for brides and grooms who are planning a small, intimate wedding in a romantic setting. Think of Seattle - Tacoma weddings and you think of Weddings by the Sound.

Shuryl Potter - Wedding Coordinator

To go the extra mile and offer the very best in customer service, you have to surround yourself with good people who are as equally committed as Elsie.

She takes care of all the little details, including some you might have forgotten about in your excitement of the big day.
