Chateau Lill in Woodinville, Washington, is one of the most romantic winery wedding venues in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by vineyards, tranquil ponds, and French-inspired architecture, it set the perfect scene for Nikki and Jack’s love story – a day filled with personal details, laughter, and heartfelt moments.


Their Love Story


Bride and groom walk hand in hand down stone steps, surrounded by lush greenery, sharing smiles in a serene outdoor setting. Black and white.

Nikki and Jack’s journey began with a chance meeting – Nikki wore a light blue dress, a color that later inspired their soft French country wedding palette. Their relationship grew across miles in a long-distance romance, filled with travel, late-night conversations, and plenty of espresso martinis – the drink they shared the night they met and often ordered throughout their dating years.

Jack is known for his playful, loving heart and quick wit; he makes Nikki laugh even when she tries not to. Nikki is warm, fiercely loyal, and the perfect complement to Jack’s adventurous spirit – just as happy curled up with a good book as she is exploring new places. Their wedding day at Chateau Lill captured this beautiful balance: timeless elegance with heartfelt joy woven throughout.


The French Country Aesthetic

Inspired by Nikki’s light blue dress and the natural beauty of Chateau Lill, the couple designed their wedding with a French country aesthetic – soft blue tones, romantic neutrals, and timeless textures. The venue’s manicured gardens, sprawling lawn, and serene pond perfectly reflected this elegant, European-inspired vision.


Personal Touches Throughout the Day

Nikki and Jack’s wedding was filled with details that celebrated their story:

  • Signature Drink: Guests sipped espresso martinis – a tribute to the drink they shared the night they met and their go-to choice during years of long-distance travel.

  • Dinner Menu: A cozy yet elevated menu of chimichurri steak and chicken marsala (Nikki’s favorite) catered by Alexa’s Catering made the evening feel warm and personal.

  • First Touch: Instead of a first look, they chose a first touch around a doorway, sharing a quiet, emotional moment before the ceremony without seeing each other.


The Vendor Team
