Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set in a gorgeous converted dairy barn that dates back to the early 20th century, this spacious venue an hour north of Seattle includes designated dressing rooms to fit both wedding parties.
- A stone path winding through vine-covered arbors leads to a Victorian gazebo in the Front Courtyard, making a lovely outdoor ceremony location. The willow, white birch, and cherry trees surrounded by ferns and hydrangeas offer a beautiful backdrop year-round.
- With a hardwood floor and white rosette panels backlit with twinkle lights, the Carriage Room provides an elegant reception space. You can also opt for the Grand Room, which features six sets of French doors, a high ceiling, and romantic balconies.
