What is meant to be the most exciting day of your life is often the most stressful. The flow of your wedding, the needs of the guests, and trying to stay on schedule all distract you from enjoying your big day. It may not seem like it, but the venue you choose greatly impacts your stress levels. Pick a good venue, and your wedding will run smoothly, pick a bad venue, and it will be chaos. Maplehurst Farms is designed to simplify your wedding experience so that all you have to do is enjoy the ride. We were skeptical at first about paying a big price tag for a venue. I always joked that I've never done this before--getting married, that is--and I didn't know what we needed, how much it should cost, and whether or not we were getting ripped off for the sake of "marriage" like so many other services you have to pay for. We decided to get married at Maplehurst because it is a beautiful venue. Everything went off without a hitch and it was a perfect experience. All of our memories are of looking deeply into each others eyes, dancing under the lights. And we owe much of that to the amenities that the venue offers. Everything at the venue is designed to make your wedding easier. They have countless decorations, furniture, and place-setting options that can be used to set up the barn for a uniquely beautiful reception that fits your style. They have a guest house on location where you and your wedding party can stay for several nights leading up to the wedding day. This allowed us to stage food and decorations and it greatly simplified the logistics of the wedding day, letting us focus on getting ready and enjoying our champagne, rather than worrying about traffic and timing. The best part of our wedding was having all of our friends and family celebrating together, and staying in the guest house with our wedding party was one of the highlights. They have a great team of people who are there to serve and support you. They accommodated all of our questions and needs, helped us source local services like caterers and the makeup artist, and they cleaned up the venue after we were done. The owner, Jessie, understands that this once in a lifetime experience can be stressful or beautiful -- and everything about the venue and the services they provide is designed to make your day simple and special. If you want your wedding to be an unforgettable experience with none of the hassle or stress, Maplehurst is the venue you should choose! read more

Maplehurst Farm Wedding Venue - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Mt Vernon, Washington

Beautiful venue! So glad we could married there. Staff was very helpful and they have almost everything you need!

"We can't postpone your wedding because of some germs." That is what we were told when we asked to reschedule our September 2020 wedding in June of 2020. More on that in a moment. Here is my reasoning for why the owners of Maplehurst Farm have no business being in the wedding industry. A. Zero empathy. B. Terrible communications. C. Continued to encourage couples to have their weddings at their property despite state recommendations against it during the COVID-19 pandemic. D. Lied about their ability to hold gatherings and have food served during the pandemic. E. Showed a disregard for the safety of guests to their property. F. Had no plan for dealing with the pandemic causing couples to change their own plans almost daily. G. Didn't know their own payment deadlines, asked for money early. H. Took up hours (literally months) of our time trying to ensure we could have a safe wedding. I. Forced us to hire a lawyer to receive a refund. Each of these points is further explained in the following lengthy and completely true review. In short, I'd rather get married in the middle of a busy freeway than ever have to deal with the owners of this venue. If you don't want to read it all, just know that our desire to postpone our wedding was out of pure necessity in an effort to prevent the possibility of our loved ones getting sick and possibly dying, something these venue owners seemed to not care about, so long as they made a buck. In conclusion, there are much better people in the wedding and hospitality business throughout Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom County. I fully recommend you use any of them.

I couldn't be happier with this venue. Not only did my cousin get married at it in 2018, her sister got married there in March of 2021, and my husband and I also did just a few weeks ago under the beautiful Maple trees that line the driveway. Not because it's a family tradition, but because we LOVE the place that much. Not one of our 3 weddings looked the same. Not only do they offer SO MANY different backdrops for your ceremony the place decorates itself. From a beautiful wooden chandelier inside to barn, to beautiful landscaping, and the view of Mt. Baker in the back the venue is everything we dreamed of and more. They also have all the decorations you would need if you choose to use them from lanterns, cedar rounds, and all different size vases for every table, to wine barrels, candles, and even more cupcake/cake stands then you know what to do with. They provide you with time at the venue every month for planning purposes, along with so much more. I will always recommend this venue for any season! The host, Jessie and her husband are absolutely wonderful! They are quick to respond with any questions, super accommodating to the needs of the bride and groom, were able to adjust the hours we had the place, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. Great people! read more

Wooow ooooo ahhhhh, it's what u say when u first arrive to the venue! The vintage red barn is surrounded by lush and thick shrubs and trees spread across the property. The driveway to the venue is beautifully lined with fully grown trees that are essential for the most amazing wedding photos (we just had ours in august) we took advantage of that and are so happy we did! We loved the barn where we had the reception and decorated it with Jessie's amazing variety of decor items, everything Jessie had on her property perfectly matched the dream wedding we had in mind, we were able to use everything to our advantage speaking to her and organizing the time and details to make our dream wedding to reality was so easy and very flexible. Once again, if you are looking for a outdoor venue that is full of color and speaks elegance and love, this should be your first pick! read more

Maplehurst Farm helped to make our wedding absolutely perfect! Jeff and Jessie were amazing hosts and were there for us (always with smiles) if we needed absolutely anything while we set up for our wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! I planned our wedding by myself and probably couldn't have done that if it weren't for working with such a great venue. Bonus... your pictures will turn out amazing because there are so many beautiful spots to get perfect pictures. read more

Not sure about these other reviews here because I had a wonderful experience and I couldn't have asked for a better venue! The barn is beautiful and created the prettiest back drop for our wedding photos. We were married in February and the barn being heated is a MAJOR plus. It was perfectly cozy in their, even on a rather cold day. The owners have been so helpful and understanding during the pandemic and are so incredibly kind. Jessie is so passionate and proud of the story at Maplehurst too, which adds to the romantic atmosphere. I'll always remember my wedding ceremony fondly, and look forward to having our reception post-pandemic at Maplehurst as well! read more

A rustic venue with a beautiful location. The people at Maplehurst are really nice. During days without rain there are multiple locations for wedding ceremonies. We are vendors and have been at Maplehurst quite a few times. We set up photobooths, and DJ equipment in a few different locations at Maplehurst, so this venue has some flexibility. Overall we have had nothing but great experiences at Maplehurst read more

It wasn't hard to fall in love with Maplehurst when my fiance and I first stepped foot on its grounds in 2019. However, like many couples, we were forced to rethink our wedding due to the pandemic and were extremely disheartened with how Maplehurst handled this unforeseen global crisis. When we started to realize our wedding would look entirely different than planned, we began to reach out to Maplehurst, who - not only was unresponsive for some time - but then kept holding on to the fact that our wedding will be fine, over and over, stalling, and not offering any sort of concrete plan in the midst of the pandemic. This was incredibly difficult to deal with since my fiance and I have family and friends all over the world (I'm from Chicago with family in Poland, England, and Norway...and, my Maid of Honor currently lives in Spain), and it was critical we plan ahead. We're also certain they held several events in the midst of the pandemic when it was prohibited, putting the health of their guests at risk. What's most disheartening is how they were setting demands and sticking to what they thought was best, putting their views on us while we were dealing with our special day getting uprooted. We ended up getting a lawyer and I can fairly estimate that my fiance spent 20+ hours of his own time in what was probably 7-8 rounds of communication with our lawyer and Maplehurst, after which Maplehurst finally agreed to return payment minus the deposit. Why they made this so difficult was hard to understand too since they had a clause in their contract stating that if an unforeseeable crisis occurs, the customer is eligible for a full refund. I should also add that in the middle of this, they offered us the option to reschedule to unfavorable dates (i.e. Monday- Wednesday) in 2021 when we paid for a prime Saturday date to begin with. I honestly loved their venue, and envisioned my wedding there, but I can say with full confidence that they had zero plan when other vendors were so flexible and understanding, offering concrete solutions that were fair to us and them. In addition, all of our other vendors returned 100% of our payments plus deposits. At a time when we were supposed to be happy, Maplehurst made planning unbearable and cumbersome. They did not - by any means - put the customer first and were selfish in their intentions. The way they treated us did in no way translate as professional or empathetic, which is why I can confidently say that if you want to be taken care of on your most special of days, think twice before booking at Maplehurst. read more

We got married at Maplehurst Farm on September 8th and it was everything we had hoped for. The venue is beautiful and completely fit our rustic style. One of the perks is everything is already on site except linens. The venue rental includes tables, chairs, all dishes and cutlery and they have display tables and items, a food prep and serving area and a beautiful barn with lights already strung from the ceiling. They also include troughs for drinks, marshmallow roasting sticks with a fire pit and adirondack chairs, as well as a separate suites for the bridesmaids/bride and groomsmen/groom to get ready. We also fell in love with Maplehurst because we could have the wedding outside and then have space for people to mingle and play yard games after the ceremony. It also has an awesome play house for the kiddos, as well as lots of room for them to run around. The barn has large garage doors that can be left open to get fresh air and natural light and Maplehurst provides bartenders to serve your beer and wine. Our day there was perfect and we even brought our dog to hang out for the day and she was able to run around the farm for most of the morning and also during the reception. Jeff and Jessica, the owners, are a pleasure to work with and were so helpful and receptive to all of my questions leading up to the wedding. I'm so glad we came across Maplehurst and were able to have our special day at such a beautiful and perfect venue. read more

My daughter had her wedding at Maplehurst in September and this venue is just awesome! It is stunningly beautiful, classy and casual all at the same time. Your guests will love it. Parking is easy, and Jessie and Jeff were so amazing to work with. They took so much of the stress away. The photographer thought it was just a dream to have so many great backdrops - the fall foliage, the corn field, the charming house and barn. I am so glad we found Maplehurst Farm! read more
