Sustainable Weddings

A typical U.S. wedding produces more carbon than the average Seattle household over an entire year! Frustration with the wasteful status quo is why Anker co-founded Emerald Hour, North Americas largest network of greener wedding vendors.

Our Practices + Your Practices

Waste is inevitable, but we work with couples and their vendors on multiple fronts to minimize our carbon footprint. Heres some of how our practices and yours reduce environmental harm.

Regenerative
Landscaping

  • Prioritizing benefits to plants and animals over humans.

  • Prioritizing native + drought-tolerant plants.

  • No use of pesticides.

  • No use of synthetic fertilizers.

  • Use of wood chips from local arborist as mulch to reduce water and enhance soil.

  • Use of electric vehicles, equipment + tools.

Conserving Water + Energy

  • Renewable solar energy produces approximately 40% of our annual energy and returns unused energy to the grid.

  • Low-flow toilets conserve water.

  • Motion-activated, timed + LED lighting conserves energy.

  • Limiting lawn watering to specific areas conserves water.

Reducing
Waste

  • Capping events at 100 guests is the #1 way to reduce waste.

  • Commitment to sorting trash, recycling and compost.

  • Implementing policies to impact guest behavior (e.g. prohibiting single-use plastics).

  • Donating leftover food and floral to local families.

Vendor
Selection

  • EH members

  • On-site guidance

  • Prioritizing local

On-site
Rentals

  • TK

Research
Collaboration

  • Partnering with four different research studies on Ankers ecological health, specifically our native trees + amphibian and avian friends.

Photos
(by date)

Curious about how the Park looks at different times of our events season? Weve assembled photos of popular spots for most weeks in May through September. While every year is a bit different, they should give you an idea about whats blooming and the state of our lawns.

July

Snapshot: Typically, during this part of the month, the lavender field is in full bloom, the hydrangeas along the driveway start their profuse show, and unwatered sections of lawns start to brown out.

MARISCOS AVENDAGLIA

Built in 1962, the house reflects an inspired time for Seattle, when the World’s Fair and built iconic like the Space Needle and Monorail.

 

Across the Puget Sound, Louise & Merlin Knapp sought their own inspired architecture, in the form of a special, but hardly ostentatious residence.

Like most Molver buildings, the house’s design takes cues from its natural surroundings, seeking harmony over dominance.

FROM OUR GUEST:

Testimonials are a great if what you seek is a little on the rapacious side.
