Kiana Lodge Annual Showcase 2020

Our annual open house is nothing short of a huge production. It’s something we look forward to every year; it’s like a big ol’ fun family reunion. We feature our favourite vendors, and sometimes we really do only get to see them once a year. The room is set up like a wedding, so our wedding couples we have contracted for the year can see and experience the ebbs and flows of their own wedding. Our favourite florist, Tj with Garden Party, arranges the room with beautiful displays and faint fragrances. Dj Levi is not only a fabulous MC, but a fantastic musician who puts on a great show. Guests get to enjoy the local best-loved cupcakes from Bella Bella, and cake samples from Sweets and Savories. Ileen’s passionfruit poppy cake is simply out of this world, and is something that everyone needs to try!   

This year, we really shook things up. We arranged the room differently than we have in the past, and IT ROCKED! This year we featured a wonderful mixture of our rounds and wooden farm tables from Olympic Farm Style Events. Vineyard chairs were provided by Court Party Rentals. This year’s colour scheme featured “Bone Faille” and “Latte” from BBJ Linen. Both colours, we felt fit so great in our space; the faille providing some much loved texture.

Dave and Ceasar, worked on rolling out some new menu items. Fresh seafood and charcuterie stations  were huge productions, and never something anyone can refuse. Hands down, nothing beats Ceasar’s Filippino style whole roasted pig! He really does put his heart and soul into them, and from fridge to food, it’s quite an extensive process that requires about four to five days. We’ve had a lot of great compliments on it. Many enjoy devouring it as much as he likes to cook them. If pork isn’t your thing, our signature salmon is always something to talk about. It’s simply our staple here in the Pacific Northwest. Just keep in mind, this was just a sample and we have much more to offer.   

At the bar, Steve and Rick always get hit the hardest after the food; with not only people wanting to taste our wines, but also with millions of questions about it. Our couples always feel the lines are going to be that way on their day, but trust us, we make every effort to ensure they won’t be. Steve and Rick take so much pride in what they do, they can talk to you all day about the history behind any product we carry. Everyone just has a lot of questions about what everything will be like for their perfect day, and they do their best to move people along, but make sure their questions are answered.

Our team enjoyed meeting and serving each and every one of you. Our sales team works hard to get to know each and every one of you so when it comes to your big day, our staff feels like they know you already! We would like to thank each and every one of you who made it out to our open house, we really couldn’t do it without you!

Crime and Pun-Ishment

MurderMystery-600x250.jpg

We here at Kiana, along with the help of The Murder Mystery Co, are excited to host a murder mystery show this Halloween! It’s one of the very few times in the year that we open our doors to the public. What could be a more fun and beautiful setting for a Halloween pre-funk on the 30th? To get you in the spirit of the occasion, we’ve chosen a 1920’s event, and we request that you come in your flapper best! Did you know that Kiana dates back to the 1920’s as well? Kind of a neat little coincidence. In addition, Kiana was the setting for one of the most notorious fictional murders of the 1990’s; the death of Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks.  

 As you’re enjoying a huge buffet meal, someone will mysteriously drop dead, and it is up to you to exercise your sleuthing skills to help the detective figure out who is responsible. The Murder Mystery Co, based in Seattle, will be putting on their best to have you fully involved from the very beginning, and it’s up to you to catch the killer (who may or may not be named Bob..). It’s guaranteed to create quite a memorable experience for everyone, so bring your thinking cap and your appetite! Get your tickets HERE today!

Kiana Lodge Annual Showcase 2019

My goodness, it’s that time of year already. Seriously, where does the time go? Our favourite day is finally here again! Kiana’s wedding open house is a huge feat every year. We open our doors to wedding couples from near and afar for a day of everything we do best. This one day a year, always the third Saturday in January, is a huge undertaking. Our couples have a chance to sample some of our best dishes, and chat with some of our favourite vendors. From appetizers to florists, there’s so much to experience. We put our best foot forward for our wedding couples to see some design ideas of what they could potentially do for their special day, taste some marvelous food, and experience what the flow of the venue is like when it’s filled with people.

We try our best to leave a lasting impression every time, so naturally this event takes weeks, even months of preparation in advance. Well in advance, the invites and fliers are designed by our sales team and printed by our marketing staff and menus are coordinated so that we can get them mailed out to our interested couples and our most favourite of vendors. Then come the design aspects; how we’d like to see the room laid out, colour schemes, table/chair selections, etc. Some items are rented, and some belong to Kiana. This year we featured a wonderful mixture of our rounds and wooden farm tables from Olympic Farm Style Events. Vineyard chairs were provided by Court Party Rentals. This year’s colour scheme featured “Fig Faille” and “Grey Classic” from BBJ Linen. Both colours, I feel, are just so elegant in our space.

This event is such a great opportunity to sample some of the great work Dave (our fantastic food and beverage manager) and Ceasar (our fabulous chef) create. As they’re always busy in the kitchen, so you get to know them through the great work they do. They were really excited to share some of their best dishes that are new for 2019! From marking steaks to smoking salmon, the cooks are busy all week long preparing for a crazy day filled with food, drink, and many, many questions. I will say there’s not much that rivals Ceasar’s Smoked Salmon Salad. He can certainly turn something quite ordinary into something extraordinary. Plus, his handmade Lumpia is simply to die for!

The staff have been busy preparing for the big day as well. They’ve been working on improvement/beautification projects and training around the clock. From gardening to washing chairs, they truly work hard to keep our beautiful venue in top condition; even in the off season. As we love to make parties great, it’s important to have everything in tip top condition, so every detail counts. The actual setup takes us an average of two days to make sure every detail is as perfect as possible.

I’d like to end off by simply thanking those who made it out over the weekend. We truly appreciate meeting each and every one of you. It gives us the opportunity to catch a glimpse of what is important to you for one of the most important events of your life. As the season moves forward, we will be getting to know you more and more, so we can craft an occasion that your friends and family will enjoy as much as you. Cheers to a great 2019 wedding season!  Here are a few photos from our friends at Pixeldust weddings that we absolutely love!

A Mother’s Day To Remember

A Mother’s Day To Remember

Mother’s day is a day to honor and celebrate the women that have shaped and inspired us throughout the years. They’re strong, strong willed and have made many sacrifices that have shaped us into the adults we are today. Whatever she’s done for you, it’s cause to celebrate her. Whether or not you choose to start the day off early, or sleep in, treat her to brunch at beautiful Kiana.

You can’t go wrong with a setting as gorgeous as this. Did you know, Kiana partners with Kenmore Air to offer a mother’s day to remember? Based on the shores of Lake Union in Seattle, they offer a scenic seaplane ride across the waters Puget Sound. It is certainly a way to make an entrance and make it an adventure to remember. For those who have been here to experience Kiana, you know the walk up from the dock is a magical experience in itself. For those of you who haven’t, it’s almost like a gift for the senses. Not only do you get the sights of the gardens along the waterfront, but you get the aromas of fresh rosemary and lavender among the sea air.  

If mom is not a fan of flying a brunch day at Kiana is simply a beautiful event to experience as well. We have an extensive menu filled with goodies for everyone to enjoy as much as the sights! Relax and enjoy the day in a laid back atmosphere and get your resting brunch faces on!

Parking Paving Perfection

Parking Paving Perfection

The big day has finally come. After many years of waiting, listening, budgeting, and hoping for approvals; our parking lots are finally getting some much needed attention. After years of anticipation, Kiana is finally getting paved! Thanks to our friends at PMECC and a small stretch of dry weather (which we know is a rarity in the PNW outside of summertime), we were finally able to get this much needed addition to our beautiful venue accomplished! Gracee, our resident kitty cat, was the unofficial foreman for the project. She was very “hands-on” riding around on the equipment with the guys, and quickly became the most favourite part of their day.

It was a very long two week process too from a venue perspective. We have staff here every day of the week, who had to move their cars around...a lot… We had breakfast and lunch deliveries to make every day, and we were constantly driving around heavy equipment, gravel piles, light poles and other odds and ends. Every day it was a new obstacle course of some sort. The first day of concrete was right in the middle of a snowstorm..even right here on the waterfront. We had events going on during this period, so we had to get creative with wet concrete and getting our guests inside the buildings. Same story with our vendors as well; they had to find new and creative ways to deliver their products to us.

We are so grateful for everyone’s support and patience during this time..it was certainly an adventure. Now that we’re working on the finishing touches, we’re finally starting to get things back to normal around here. With the bulk of the project finished, here’s some photos of the post construction for all you Kiana fans out there:

Easter Bunny Brunchy

Easter Bunny Brunchy 

EasterBuffetEmail.jpg

         

Spring is a time for rebirth and renewal, and we definitely get our fair share of it here at Kiana. The gardeners are busy tending to the endless tulips and daffodils that are spread out all over the property. After a crazy winter of “snowmageddon” in Western Washington it’s certainly good to see something new! The Geese have returned with their new little babies; they’re growing so fast. Despite having our own kitty cat, we have a population explosion of baby bunbuns that are simply adorable as well. We’ve taken a break from our spring auction season to bring you some thoughts on one of our favourite springtime holidays.

Easter Sunday at Kiana is always a brunchy extravaganza. Tickets always sell out super fast, as the kids are always eagerly awaiting a meet and greet with the Easter bunny himself and searching out the delectable candy filled eggs hidden outside. Year after year, we always prepare copious amounts of food to enjoy, and we have many families who have made Kiana their easter tradition. Aside from the traditional ham meal, Kiana carries our own tradition by serving our signature salmon. The one time we tried to go in a different direction and take it off the menu for the holiday, we nearly had a mutiny on our hands!   

Every year it’s so heartwarming to watch the little one’s faces light up when Mr. Easter Bunny makes his entrance, and as they search through their eggs for the magical golden ticket. Being at Kiana for ten years now, my favourite year was one where a little boy with a huge heart gave away his prize to a disabled, wheelchair bound little girl. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place after that. It’s never a bad day when you get to witness such random acts of kindness. It teaches us all a lesson in humility and being humble. So, if you’re not a new year resolution type of person, maybe this spring we can all focus a little more on these types of lessons and how we can improve our world. Until next time..

A New Year

Kiana has so much to be thankful for this season. We’ve experienced so many changes in the last year, it’s made our heads spin. From a new food and beverage team, to new management, to a big increase in weddings, we’re so grateful for every last one of these events that have transpired and so much more. With 2018 gone, and a great kickoff to 2019 it’s been a heck of a year already, with so much more to come. Reflecting on the spirit of thanksgiving and the season of gratitude, we thought we’d take a moment to think about the things Kiana is truly thankful for, and looking forward to in a fresh new year..

 As our thanksgiving and holiday season were sell outs and our weddings have wound down, Kiana would like to kickoff the season of gratitude by thanking our staff, both old and new. Our manager, Brittany, came to our team in January 2018. Her invigorating demeanor, her fresh outlook, and her warm smile have made her such a wonderful addition. Our sales team works tirelessly through thick and thin to make our wedding couples dreams come true, and our corporate clients returning for more. Our food and beverage team, led by Dave and Ceasar, are nothing short of marvelous. Their experience and skill have truly embodied what makes Kiana so special. Our garden and maintenance team are simply responsible for the magic of the buildings and the outdoors. Through their work with local nurseries, Kiana comes alive. Lastly, our servers and bartenders are the true backbone. Their friendly service and warm smiles are the icing on the cake. Young and old alike, they’re the best representation of Kiana and its core value of spectacular service.

            Aside from the staff, we’d love to thank our most important members:YOU, from twin peak looky-loos, to our regular corporate clients, to our wonderful wedding couples, you’re the ones who we’re the most thankful for. We’ve enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you. We wouldn’t be in this business without you! We’ve experienced a record breaking year last year, in more areas than one. We’re hoping for an even better year yet to come. So, reflecting on that note, we’d like to raise our hands to you in gratitude, and wish you all the best for the year to come.

Cheers to a great new year!

Early Spring Snow at Kiana Lodge

Early Spring Snow at Kiana Lodge

            The last few days have brought us something that is usually pretty scarce in Western Washington: Snow. That dreaded “s-word” that native Seattleites come to dread has come in to greet us in style. We’ve enjoyed a rather nice, warm winter the past few months, so naturally, mother nature has decided to shake things up a little and give the daffodils a coating of the white stuff. As we know, snow is somewhat of a rare occurrence around here, and it’s even more rare to see it here on the waterfront at Kiana. For those as excited to see it as I am, here are some photos we’ve managed to snap of the event. Enjoy!

Winter Wedding Colours

Share

Winter Wedding Colours

So you’ve decided to go against the norms and have yourself a wintertime wedding! The season is filled with gatherings, celebrations, and traditions; so why not throw a wedding into the mix of it all? 

 

Need help on colour solutions? Everyone associates winter with red and green. However, there’s so much more in the colour palette you can play with to make your wedding not feel like one of the countless holiday parties that fill the season.

 

Go Bold

Winter is a time that’s often associated with darkness. Deep shades are still the perfect complement to the season. Bold has been on the rise in the last few years in general. Deep shades of burgundy, navy blue, and even purple are a great compliment to a dark winter’s night. When the landscape is lacking, use colour to fill it up. It will help you stand apart from the crowd. If you feel like a bold coloured tablecloth is too much for the space, try neutralizing it with a soft ivory or white and save the boldness for the napkins or accent pieces such as flower vases, coloured votives, or even boldly coloured vintage water goblets if that’s your thing. It will go a long way, trust me. 

 

Metallic accents

Wintertime spaces are naturally cozied up with lots of candlelight. Why not highlight that candlelight with metallic accents? Silver and gold are always a classic, elegant touch to weddings any time of the year; but have you thought about bronze, copper, or champagne? Go with frosted for a more wintery touch by adding sheer metallic fabrics as an overlay or a runner over your tablecloth.  

 

And if you want to go classic..

Dove grey or silver with garlands of green and white and gold accent pieces make for the perfect wintery “naked” look on a white table cloth. It doesn’t scream holiday party in the slightest, and is sure to add elegance to any room.    

White rose and poppy bouquets with frosty eucalyptus and pale pink accents are a good way to supplement big, bold holiday-ish colours such as red, teal or navy.

Engagement Season

Share

Engagement Season

The winter months are a season for family, gratitude, and also a season engagements. Seriously, the statistics are staggering… estimates state that six out of every ten couples become engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. There are so many directions newly engaged couples find themselves pulled in after the proposal, it can feel overwhelming. Everyone will be wanting to know the details for your wedding right away, so, after the yes, what are the initial steps do you take next?

 

Set a timeline

The average engagement period for couples is approximately 15 months. Set an approximate month or date that matches your preferred time of year. Remember, this is not set in stone. You need time to celebrate and enjoy your engagement, locate and book a venue, work around any major holidays or any major friend/family gatherings. Your important guests will appreciate the information early on, and start making mental accommodations.

 

Set a budget and Open a Wedding Account

Start saving as soon as you can. Even the smallest wedding can cost a lot more than you think. If you have the option of opening a savings account for your wedding cash, do it. It will come in handy, plus it’ll be fun to watch your hard earned bucks go into buying everything for your special day. Depositing a set amount from each paycheck and using an online wedding budget tool will help you get on your way to your dream wedding. However uncomfortable the conversation may be, you also need to figure out what each of your families are contributing. As soon as that is out of the way, you will know exactly how much you will need to save on your own.

 

Draft a Guest List

Draft your guest list early on in your planning process, and ask your families to do the same. Prioritizing your lists and breaking them down into categories early on will help you in many ways. It will help you in choosing a venue, it will help you stay within your budget, and it will even influence the time you spend with them on your day of. So, be wise, and work on it early. Keep in mind this is just an estimated number, it’s not set in stone. You can always add or drop later on when you've made some more decisions on what your vision is, and where you are choosing to say I do.

 

Don't forget to daydream… a lot!

Dream up your special day. Figure out your style, how you want your wedding to look. Where is your dream location? Rustic or Elegant? Intimate or a party of the decade? Daydreaming is certainly allowed and encouraged! It can be an important tool to help you formulate some important decisions later on like finding a venue or that perfect dress. You don’t have to go it alone, ask your fiance or even some of your most important friends for their input as well. Once the important elements are figured out, you’re well on your way to dress and venue shopping. We once had a wedding that had all vintage china, that the couple enjoyed shopping around at flea markets for.

 

Pick Your Venue

As popular venues book up a year or two in advance, you’ll want to hit this hard once you’ve figured out what your vision is. You will likely be asked your estimated guest count, and a desired timeframe/date for your wedding. Come prepared to ask and be asked loads of questions. You will need to find out what decorating restrictions are, what the venue can provide for you (in house catering, tables, chairs, china, etc), nearby accommodations (if not onsite, you will need to hop on this early in the game too); the more armed with questions you come, the better of an idea you’ll have of how it’ll fit into your budget. Once a deposit is paid, the date and the venue are yours!

If your accommodations are not onsite, I cannot stress enough that you will need to check availability at these places and place holds as soon as you book the venue. They are equally important!! Especially if you have a large amount of out-of-towners. If you sit on this one, someone will beat you to it. Guaranteed. We’ve had people find themselves in this predicament and it can be very frustrating for all around.

 

Decide if a Wedding Planner or an on-site coordinator is right for you

If you choose to have a wedding planner, you will need to decide this pretty early on in the game. Wedding planners and On-site coordinators are very closely related and do a lot of the same things but be sure to know the difference depending on the venue you select. Our on-site coordinators will be there for you throughout the entire planning process, and can help you achieve your specific design. They know their venue best, and what does/doesn’t work.   They will point you in the direction of vendors if you need it, and they will be your contact on your big day. They will also act as the liaison between you and your vendors, and will help you achieve your vision day of, making sure you stick to your timeline.

A wedding planner will help you with all of this too of course, They can also help you design and draft your wedding, and assist with many other personal needs such as hair and makeup, down to china and floral design. They will be there to help you plan everything from your engagement party to your honeymoon. They’re the ones available for the crisis at 3am or 36 hours before, and they’re a little more hands on.    

 

Book your Priority Vendors

Most vendors book out a year in advance, so make sure you get in with your most preferred ones as soon as you can. If you need assistance in finding vendors, your venue will likely have at least a recommendation list for you to choose from, or even provide some themselves.

 

Party and Enjoy Each Other

Remember to relax and enjoy your engagement  Have some time to yourselves and give your family and friends some time to enjoy you!

Why Team Building is important, and why it should be your number one investment

Share

Why Team Building is important, and why it should be your number one investment

            Despite it’s reputation for being something that is.. Well.. bothersome, team building is actually of significant importance to your company. After spending the last several months studying effective human relations in the workplace, I have come to find team building to be a very real and very important factor in the workplace. The topic has also become very important to me, because, in the past,  I have personally witnessed the devastating effects a dysfunctional team can have on the workplace. Allow me to be clear here, I am not an expert on the subject, nor will I pretend to be. What I can offer you is a small fraction of all the information I have compiled over the last several months, and the perfect location for your team to meet at. Now down to the nitty gritty, or the interconnected views that I find very relevant to the subject.

 

●       Trust is the number one foundation for true, effective teamwork. People waste so much time and energy creating false harmonies in the workplace, it’s time we ditch the facade and engage with some truth and self awareness.. even our vulnerabilities

 

●       Conflict is healthy!  Without it, we couldn’t get anywhere without open debate and people expressing their opinions. Those who need to assert their strong opinions are allowed to do so, and they provide the detailed information to back their statements up.

 

●       True Commitment begins with joint transparency. Those who come together to formulate decisions, do so as a team, and with transparency. This is not about consensus, or people agreeing for the sake of agreeing. It is about bringing forth the data to support the cause and ensuring each teammate is able to weigh in on the subject.

 

●       The success of a team is being clear on its standards. It is up to the leader to set the tone, or the standard for the group. However, it’s up to the group to hold one another accountable, and accept it when they are held accountable individually. The team will likely respond by pushing themselves harder and challenge themselves.

 

●       Learn to look at your goals like a sports game. Remember each member plays a role in contributing to the win or loss. Through good communication, concise goals, and a little trust, the team will be rewarded for their efforts. If they are a true team, they will be able to express their vulnerability and accept the loss and learn from the experience. 

 

It’s not the size of the company that keeps it competitive, it’s how well your team functions that really drive the success of your organization. This is something that requires consistent effort, as it is always a delicate balance of egos and recognition for some, but the end result is nothing short of amazing.

Now for the sales aspect.. We can provide an amazing, private space for your team building meeting. There’s honestly not a more beautiful space I can think of that offers the privacy we do. There’s all sorts of different ways you can customize your team building offsite. If I got into that, this blog would be way too long! Seriously.. I can write for days about ways to use Kiana. However, I can honestly tell you that you will find it hard to leave once you've arrived! So please, stop on by, we’d love to work with you!

A Damn Fine Cup of Coffee

Way back when in 1989, a great tv show was born right here in Western Washington. The
who-dunnit murder mystery that is Twin Peaks has developed quite a following among the
30-somethings over the years. 28 years later, we here at Kiana, still meet people from all
over the world who come to tour our beautiful venue. A mix of the supernatural and the
traditional, the show explores the dark side of small town secrets. This younger generation may not know about Laura Palmer yet, but thanks to Showtime, they will soon get the chance to get to know the characters in the seemingly picture perfect town of Twin Peaks and Special Agent Dale Cooper. Brought back to life by Mark Frost and David Lynch, and many of the original cast members, they will learn about what makes the show so great. She’s dead..wrapped in plastic… Many scenes from the original show were filmed right here at Kiana; which will be featured in the new series as well. People from all over the world stop by to catch the behind the scenes glimpses of what makes the show so iconic. Our rustic Main lodge serves as much of the backdrop for the Great Northern Hotel and the Blue Pine Lodge (aka Josie, Pete, and Catherine’s house). Of course one cannot forget the famous log on the beach where the body of the town’s homecoming queen, Laura Palmer, washed ashore wrapped in plastic. 


The owls are not what they seem… Throughout the years, the Main Lodge here at Kiana has been remodeled a bit, but much the original character and scenic background still remains. The series opens up with a scene shot in the kitchen: Pete Martell looks out the window to discover Laura Palmer’s body. The giant butcher block is the most recognizable thing left from that scene. The dining room where the Norwegians met Audry has undergone a major transformation as well. The large fireplace, in fact, all of the fireplaces used are still here, as well as a lot of the background decor. It's just all arranged differently for the most part. The large Native Coastal Art wall murals painted by local artist Duane Pasco are perhaps the most easily recognizable background scenery aside from the waterfront and the log. They're something that provide such a unique backdrop to both Kiana and the lobby of the Great Northern. Pasco is also responsible for the totems that reside here, as well as one at Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle.


One day, my log will have something to say about this… Please remember that we are a
private facility. We welcome and encourage anyone to stop by for a visit, however, we ask
that you give our paying clients their privacy and plan to visit when there are no events going on. We’d love for you to call ahead to check our schedule (360) 598-4311. The show is scheduled to premiere May 21st, 2017, so you still have some time to perfect that cup of brew and have a slice of cherry pie!


Here are a few excerpts from our guestbook for a little fun reading:
“This small present (referring to a book he wrote and donated to us) is not much compared
to the fond and lasting memories we have of your strange and wonderful place and the
pictures you gave me” -Stephan (France)


“Amazing place! Thank you Jay! Honored to be showed around. Keeping our fingers crossed
for the new series.” -Michael and Ann (Poland)


“Thanks for the great stories and generosity!” -Åge (Norway)


“I want to live here.” -Travis (USA)


“This has been the highlight of our trip. What a gorgeous place!” -Bradley and Jessica
(USA)
