We just had our wedding here (Aug 2025) and it turned out amazing! The property is large and it has so many different areas. Each area feels so different and has it's own special character, so we proposed having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in three different locations. It added a lot of complexity but it was totally worth it. We found a spot in the forest that seemed to have promise for the ceremony and Linda, the amazing venue operator, was 100% all in and willing to make it happen. It required a LOT of work on their part (extensive weeding, clearing, hiring an arborist to trim tree limbs, widening trails, putting up string lights, running a super long extensive cord to get power down here, etc) but Linda and her team did it all and more, at their expensive, and it looked incredible.
She was super proactive every step of the way and had a lot of great ideas, and was totally willing to put the work in and your vision happen. She was like our second wedding coordinator - so appreciated!
The venue has great parking, a huge green lawn area (our reception area), lovely forest trails, a quaint peaceful 'glamping tent' area (which we actually used for our Cocktail Hour, with the tent removed, worked great!), a 'lodge' house on the property for the bride and groom to prep and family to stay over, and of course the beautiful horses.
Foxglove has a ton of new, beautiful live edge Douglas Fir tables that you can use, included. The crafted tables we're really beautiful and added to the special character of the event.
We got a good deal on the 2025 pricing since we were kind of last minute (last minute in the wedding world at least) and filled an open August weekend, which was much appreciated. It looks like their 2026 pricing bumped up quite a bit but I think they'll have even more to offer in 2026, from what Linda has said.
In 2025 there wasn't any kind of kitchen area for the caterer to use, which was a little challenging/expensive for off-island caterers, but it sounds like they'll be offering a cool converted army tent trailer kitchen for next season. The bathroom situation here isn't the best as the only bathrooms are at the lodge house (which kind of exposed guests to chaotic catering zone and the chaotic decor/bride staging area). There is also a very charming bathroom structure at the 'glamping tent' area, but the toilet itself is really more camping style. It totally worked and they did some kind of voodoo magic process so it didn't smell one bit, and nobody seemed to care. It wasn't really a problem for our group size (67) but it would be better if you rent some nice bathrooms, or perhaps Foxglove will eventually build some more on site. It's a fairly new venue so I could see them investing in that.
Many of our guests got to Vashon early, or even spent the weekend on Vashon - everyone really enjoyed the small town atmosphere, some great restaurants and coffee shops, and the hiking/kayaking, etc. We were a little worried about the island travel being a deterrent to guests but everyone loved it and enjoyed the vacation feeling of it all.
5 big stars to Foxglove, Linda and her team. Our wedding far surpassed our expectations. Highly recommended!!! read more
