I feel sorry for the last couple who experienced issues with the owner when booking this venue for their wedding, but my husband and I decided to get married here and it was a great decision. The service was great - from the friendly front desk associates to the housekeepers - we always felt taken care of. We stayed in the Upper Tower Suite which is a super cool room. You do have to climb a steep set of stairs to get to the bed upstairs but it is worth it. The property is an old, Victorian boarding house so obviously this is not like staying at the Westin, but if you love old charm, you will love this place. The owner, Kavitha, was on top of everything. We knew all of the costs ahead of time and didn't have any surprise expenses at check out. Our rental included all 16 of the rooms inside of the lodge (not including the yurt, the budget basement or the rental houses) for the night, use of the parlor (which we decorated as well) and continental breakfast in the AM. It was extremely reasonably priced for what we got. You will not find that anywhere else for the price. We had a total of 30 people spend the night and there was room for a few more. Kavitha has a preferred catering vendor who was amazing. We did have to pay a reasonable fee to rent the restaurant space for dinner on the wedding night. After dinner we moved to the parlor to avoid any extra fees. We also brought him in a night early to do a dinner for those of us who checked in the day before and they worked out the rental fee for the extra use of the restaurant among themselves and we just paid the caterer directly. We paid just over $4,000 between the lodge and the caterer for: dinner for 12 on Friday night, breakfast on Saturday (provided by the lodge), lunch for 25 on Saturday, dinner for 32 on Saturday and the 16 hotel rooms plus full use of the "parlor" from check in until check out the next day and breakfast on Sunday AM. That is pretty unheard of and was worth every penny.

We had an amazing experience at Alexander's. The staff was so kind and took great care of us (Penny was awesome!). The room was adorable. Love being surrounded by the wildlife and trees. Perfect place for our elopement!

My husband and I got married at Alexander's Country Inn on January 25, 2014, and it was absolutely amazing! We had a unique situation--my husband is from another country and we were going through an immigration process--which made it difficult to plan things as far in advance as is usually required to pull off a terrific wedding. But the owners of Alexander's were so organized, helpful, and flexible that we were able to plan something better than we could have dreamed of in just 2.5 months.

We lucked out with the weather, and were able to have the ceremony outside by their pond. We had a delicious dinner to follow in their restaurant, and then danced and celebrated in the Inn's parlor. The Inn is so beautiful as is, we didn't have to worry about any decorations. And, our guests are still talking about the food.

It was a wonderful winter wedding weekend. We rented out the the whole Inn (which is really reasonably priced!) for both Friday and Saturday nights. We got to have a delicious morning breakfast with all our guests, and then they headed up to Paradise on Mount Rainier to get in some snowshoeing before the wedding started. It felt just as we were hoping. It was a retreat--relaxed, beautiful, peaceful, and filled with love. I loved walking around the Inn during the weekend and seeing my friends and family enjoying their time--walking around the grounds, chatting over wine in parlor, enjoying a soak in the outdoor hot tub. It turned out to be exactly what we were hoping for and needed.

We would 100% recommend Alexander's Country Inn!
