About The Swiftwater Cellars Wedding Venue

301 Rope Rider Drive, Cle Elum, Washington 98922

Swiftwater Cellars is a family-owned wedding venue that was started by Don and Lori Watts. Years and years before they took over, the land was occupied by miners looking for coal. While the landscape of the area has changed quite a bit since then, you can still find remainders, including the entrance to the No. 9 Mine right by the Swiftwater Cellars forecourt. The Watts love honoring history, whether they are showing off old photos or aging their trademark No. 9 wines. With this venue, you can have drinks and a view!

Details of the Grounds

With Swiftwater Cellars, your entire wedding can take place on the grounds. You will start out in the bridal and groom suites, where you can get ready with your wedding party by your side. Once you have finished with your pre-wedding pictures, you can head to your ceremony site. While the venue has plenty of spots you can choose from, I personally adore the Tipple Hill Gazebo! Here, you can exchange your vows beneath a large wooden pavilion with views of the mountains as your backdrop. If you would prefer an indoor spot, you can use either the Garden Room or the Swiftwater Room. 

For your cocktail hour, your guests can head to the patio and enjoy snacks and drinks. The venue will have furniture set out so they can relax as they admire this truly breathtaking space. Then, it will be time for your reception. If you would like to host this outside, you can use the Tipple Hill Gazebo. Inside, you can use the rustic Garden Room with barn doors, lofted ceilings, wooden walls, and exposed rafters. There is also the industrial chic Swiftwater Room, where the winery equipment is on full display. Both of these spots can host up to 250 guests.
