Back Yard Weddings

Our first wedding under the new Gonzola.

🌦️ An Outdoor Wedding Without the Weather Worries

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an outdoor wedding without worrying about the weather? Too hot, too rainy, too cold, Spokane couples know how unpredictable it can be. At Backyard Weddings, we’ve created something special so you can have the outdoor setting you love without the stress of the forecast.

We’ve just built a gorgeous new 360 square foot pergola, framed in locally milled wood and lit with café lights. It seats 20 to 30 people comfortably and can be covered for rain, wind, or even a little snow. That means you can say “I do” under open skies, then step beneath the shelter for your meal, photos, or to linger with friends and family.

Whether you’re planning a spring ceremony, a cozy winter elopement, or a Simple I Do with just a few guests, you can book your day with confidence. It’s beautiful, flexible, and designed for every season so you can focus on love, not the weather.

Skip the Courthouse: Say Yes to a Simple I Do

Many couples want something short and sweet—but not sterile. Our Backyard Weddings venue in Spokane offers the perfect in-between: a rustic outdoor space where you can invite a handful of family and friends, linger just a little longer, and still keep it cost-effective.

We’ve come to call it a Simple I Do—Spokane’s way of saying “yes” without the fuss.

What If Less Really Is More?

Weddings can bring out the best in us—and sometimes the most stressed.

We’ve seen it all: the spreadsheets, the timelines, the endless decisions. Somewhere in the flurry of planning, it’s easy to forget why you’re doing all this in the first place.

At Backyard Weddings, we believe love needs room to breathe. Rushing and busyness? They're the kryptonite of love. When things get too hectic, connection suffers. And a wedding, at its heart, is about connection—not perfection.

That’s why we created a space that’s simple, beautiful, and just… enough. For couples who want to slow down. Linger. Actually enjoy each other and the people around them.

No chaos. No countdown clock. Just a space where love can settle in.

Maybe smaller really is sweeter. And maybe a quieter celebration helps love speak a little louder.

We’d love to help you create that kind of day.

💍 Thinking About a Courthouse Wedding? Here’s Another Option.

You want to keep it simple. No ballroom. No banquet. No stress.
Just the two of you—or maybe a handful of your favorite people.
Quick. Easy. Meaningful.

A lot of couples head to the courthouse, and we get it.
It’s affordable. It’s fast. It checks the box.

But what if there was another way?

What if your “I do” didn’t happen under fluorescent lights?
What if it happened outdoors—with fresh air, soft light, and room to breathe?

We’ve created something we call a Simple I Do—short, sweet, and full of meaning. It’s what we’ve tagged as .

At our rustic venue in Spokane, we host micro-weddings, elopements, and Simple I Do ceremonies for couples who want something small, beautiful, and real.

Bring a few more guests.
Take a little more time.
Linger. Toast. Smile. Remember it.

You don’t need four hours or fifty chairs to make it meaningful.
Sometimes 30–60 minutes is just right.

We’re not a courthouse.
We’re not that little chapel over the state line.
We’re something in between.

Simple. Scenic. Personal.

And we’d love to host your moment.

Big Dreams, Intimate Guest List: Why Smaller Weddings Are More Meaningful

Wear the dress that makes your heart skip.
Carry flowers that feel just right in your hands.
Dance under the stars with twinkle lights adding that perfect glow.
Raise a glass for a toast that actually gets heard.
Have your first dance. There’s only one. You don’t share it—you experience it.
And yes, absolutely—have the cake.

You don’t need 150 people to have a wedding that’s beautiful, joyful, and full of meaning. Sometimes 20 to 40 of your favorite people is exactly right.

At Backyard Weddings, we offer a peaceful, elegant setting made for connection. The laughter, the vows, the soft sparkle of twinkle lights—all of it feels a little more magical when the moment is shared with just the right people.

Big love fits beautifully in a small space.

Where Is Everyone Going to Stay?
(Backyard Weddings Facebook Blog Post)

The final month before your wedding can feel like you’re planning a full-blown family reunion on top of everything else. Suddenly it’s not just flowers and dresses and vows—it's,
“Where is everyone going to sleep?”

You’ve got Aunt Carol flying in from Phoenix. Your college roommate texted, “Can I bring my dog?” Siblings with toddlers. Friends who don’t know each other but somehow need to share a rental car. And then the family group chat lights up with opinions about everything from hotels to sleeping bags on your living room floor.

It’s a lot.

And here’s the honest truth: trying to manage everyone’s expectations while still feeling present for your own wedding can be exhausting.

That’s part of why we started Backyard Weddings. Couples tell us all the time how relieved they feel to have a peaceful, home-grown option—something small, beautiful, and totally personal. It takes off the pressure. It simplifies the day. It brings the whole thing back to love, not logistics.

Your guests don’t need a 5-star hotel to feel welcomed. Sometimes a few comfy chairs under twinkle lights, a nearby Airbnb, and a backyard full of laughter is more than enough.

We’d love to help you think through what that could look like.
