On this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, Sonja Babich and Washington Wedding Day Publisher Alexis Sanabria sit down with Jeff and Patti Falconer, the husband-and-wife team behind Parties on the Terrace, an award-winning Washington wedding venue known for its intimate celebrations and romantic garden atmosphere. Inspired by the Amalfi Coast and built with hospitality at its core, the venue has become a favorite for couples looking to create personalized, guest-focused wedding experiences in the Pacific Northwest.

Jeff and Patti share the story behind transforming their five-acre property from a luxury car storage business into one of Washington’s most beloved intimate wedding venues. From navigating permitting challenges and launching during COVID to thoughtfully designing flexible ceremony spaces and guest experiences, the couple offers an honest behind-the-scenes look at building a wedding venue from the ground up.

The conversation also explores what modern couples are prioritizing when searching for a wedding venue, how intimate weddings can still feel luxurious and why intentional details—from getting-ready suites to rainy-day backup plans—can completely shape the wedding experience.
