Featured Initiatives / Programs
A curated wedding showcase connecting couples with the best venues, vendors, and creative partners across Jefferson County and the Olympic Peninsula. Designed to inspire, educate, and simplify wedding planning—while spotlighting the region as a premier destination for meaningful celebrations.
This event was developed after an inaugural Wedding Tour event in 2024 and a successful Wedding Show format in 2025.
Partners: Funding was awarded by Port Townsend and Jefferson County Lodging Tax.
We host networking mixers for members and prospective members, rotating locations throughout Jefferson County and within the incorporated City of Port Townsend. These gatherings provide opportunities to experience unique venues, build relationships with new and established vendors, and strengthen connections across the local events and hospitality community.
Venues Visited: Misty Clover Farm, Brigids Loft, Quilcene Lantern, Camp Beausite,
We support the long-term health of the local events and hospitality industry through training, education, and professional development. Our programs connect emerging talent, seasoned professionals, and regional partners to strengthen service quality and career pathways.
This imitative was supported by a highly competitive grant awarded by Washington State Tourism, recognizing the program’s regional impact, collaboration, and alignment with statewide tourism and workforce priorities.
We lead collaborative regional marketing efforts that position Jefferson County and the Quimper Peninsula as a destination for weddings, events, and group experiences. Through coordinated storytelling, partnerships, and campaigns, we elevate local venues, vendors, and communities while strengthening year-round visibility for the region.
