Local Sources familiar with the Venue


​ 

     To facilitate your planning, the following people and vendors have experience at Vashon Field and Pond and do great work.  The vendors  listed below know the venue, are familiar with the details of hosting events on Vashon, and offer spot-on service.  You may, however, hire any caterers, planners, musicians, etc. that you wish.  If you'd like us to handle ordering and delivery/pickup of tents, tables, chairs, etc., for you, we offer that service for 20% above cost.

Event Planning:  
      Lisa DeFaccio:   206.498.4359 If your wedding is at Vashon Field and Pond, services include coordinating with vendors, caterers, transporting gear to/from the beach area, barn or parking area, and generally lending a hand as needed during your event. She will be your on-site "go to person" to assure everything flows smoothly.  She will help monitor the details, coordinate and assist, and/or be on call as runner for last minute "emergencies".   For those who want to handle many of the details themselves but want affordable assistance with some additional aspects of planning and coordination, Lisa's services can be "a la carte" at an hourly rate. We can also help with staffing during your event if you need parking attendants, greeters, child care, people to move tables/chairs, or other assistance.  Lisa's wedding planning and consultation services are available for on-island events at venues other than Vashon Field and Pond, also.
