Sanders Estate

Sanders Estate is a historic mansion and garden venue in Auburn, Washington, offering a secluded setting for weddings, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. Set across more than 37 acres, the estate combines landscaped grounds, a pond and fountain, lawns and a restored early twentieth-century home. Its heritage character and outdoor scenery give event planners several distinctive backdrops for ceremonies, receptions, photographs and guest gatherings.

For weddings, couples can choose from several ceremony locations, including a pergola overlooking the meadow, a spot beside the mill pond, a terrace and a rose pond. The venue offers a getting-ready suite and an event tent on the lower lawn, with concrete flooring, chandeliers and party lighting. Tables, chairs, parking and other furnishings are included in the venue arrangements, while additional equipment can be arranged as needed. The property can accommodate larger celebrations, with capacity varying by event setup and space.

Sanders Estate also welcomes corporate and private events, such as company picnics, meetings, retreats, birthdays, family reunions and showers. Its outdoor areas and tented spaces provide room for both formal gatherings and more relaxed occasions. Organisers can work with the estate's team on planning and event details, and Blue Ribbon Cooking provides catering, with menus ranging from brunch and buffets to plated dinners and late-night food. The estate also offers on-site lodging, including guest rooms and a honeymoon suite, subject to availability. With venue hire, event support, catering options and accommodation available in one setting, Sanders Estate gives planners a flexible country-estate location within reach of Seattle.
