TERRIBLE venue management under the guise of a beautiful space…read more In short, three months after signing with The Barn at Holly Farm we were told management would rather start a year of self-initiated renovations than honor their contract with us. Their decision not only affected us, but at least nine other couples who had booked weddings there too. For my fiancé and me, this left us with less than 7 months before the wedding date to find a new venue and re-plan our entire event. It took over a month for us to find a new space that could accommodate our wedding size indoors. To receive a full refund, we were expected to sign a document that stated we wouldn't make any comments which "may, directly or indirectly, disparage" The Barn at Holly Farm (obviously we did not accept those terms). It then took over a month to receive the funds for The Barn's breach of contract. I hope no other couple has to experience The Barn at Holly Farm's mismanagement and the nightmare experience they caused at least 10 couples in 2021!

My husband and I were married at the Barn at Holly Farm in May 2019 (I meant to leave a review…read moresooner but life quickly got in the way). We worked with Karmel as well as a flower vendor (Dirty Girl) and photographers (GSquared) whom Karmel recommended. Part of the reason we were drawn to this venue is because of the good works that they do with equine therapy and rescued farm animals. Our experience with the Barn was fantastic. We really hit it off with Karmel and she made planning the wedding fun and low stress. The vendors she recommended also did a great job and at the end of the day, are just good people. I feel like they all connected with us on a personal level. One fun perk this venue offered is for a small fee someone from the Barn takes guests out to meet some of the animals (chickens, goats, llamas, etc.) during the social hour before the reception. This was a lovely and charming way to start the celebration. I think that what we paid was fair for the service we received. The only snafu at the very end was having to pack our own stuff even though we paid extra for the clean-up service, but it was mostly just our personal belongings and it wasn't a big deal. There's always a little wedding drama - in this case our own guests, and the way that Karmel and vendors went about handling it to reduce the stress on us was beautifully done. They were respectful and discreet and we were incredibly grateful for their support. The space itself on the day of the wedding was absolutely stunning and everything was set up exactly as we had planned. It was a truly magical day and I'm so glad we chose the Barn to get married. I'd do it all over again. :)

I shopped around in Seattle and Bothell--and Cherry Falls had far more ambiance at a better price than the big city offerings. We liked the large windows in the back that showed the trees and forest (our family member who passed was an avid hiker and outdoor lover). There is a kitchen that includes a 30-cup coffee maker, as well as two lovely water dispensers, and much more. There is a large screen with the electronics and speakers to show a slide show or movie. The parking lot is huge, the place is easy to find, right off the road, but it feels peaceful and secluded. The proprietor, Autumn, met us there to go through the electronics and the other details, and before I showed with all my snacks and flowers, she'd already put white tablecloths on all five (huge) tables, and pulled out additional smaller tables for pictures and memorabilia. Everything was spotlessly clean, including a large bathroom and cloakroom. Really, we couldn't have asked for more. I whole-heartedly recommend this venue!

My wife and I attended an August pandemic wedding at Green Gates At Flowing Lake and it was…read moreperfect! Here's why: 1) Outdoor Space: The campus allows for an entirely outdoor wedding, perfect during the pandemic. The ceremony was on the lawn overlooking the lake with the reception inside an open-air barn. There's plenty of space to social distance as well. 2) Beauty: With the view of the lake and forest, it's picture perfect. They decorate the space simply, but stunningly for weddings.

This venue is absolutely beautiful and the owner, Pam, couldn't have been more helpful. She knew…read moreall the right questions to ask in order to make sure we were fully prepared and knew exactly what we were getting not just from her but from all of our vendors. She also made sure we utilized all of the opportunities that the property offers by suggesting we ask the caterers to use the pizza oven when they weren't intending to which improved the food immensely and added to the overall experience. Thanks to Pam our day was perfect! Not only was the location magical but they also did the flowers for us and they were wonderful. She had the best ideas about how to fill the space which makes sense as it is her home and we'll have a momento of our wedding growing at our house indefinitely now as we were able to plant the live center pieces that Pam suggested. I'm so grateful to her for opening her home and letting us share the gorgeous space that she created for our special day.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MICK!…read more My husband and I only ever saw one venue because as soon as we saw Hidden Meadows we knew it was everything we had talked about. Our ceremony was in November so we had an indoor ceremony in the chapel area and loved the reception area. We had such a beautiful ceremony! The bridal suite was perfect and had plenty of room for everyone to get dressed in one area and have hair/makeup done in the other. The grooms room was far enough away to make sure no one peaked until it was time. We also had such beautiful grounds to take pictures in. It was too cold and rainy for an outdoor gazebo ceremony. But the pictures we took there are going to be magical. We didn't really have to do too too much to the venue itself for decorating because there is so much natural charm and beauty to the venue. I also have to mention the exclusive catering company, Wooden Spoon. I was nervous to have them as our only option but we had the most delicious meal and received sooo many compliments. Tyler was able to work within our budget and not make it feel like we compromised at all. They also have an awesome rental room with so many decor pieces that we didn't have to worry about bringing with us or taking out of the space. I know I'm biased but it was the best wedding I've been too!

I was a guest at a wedding held earlier this month at Hidden Meadows. According to the website,…read moreHidden Meadows has been owned by the same family for five generations. It used to be a working dairy farm too, before it was a sod farm. Cool! Hidden Meadows isn't too hard to get to from the Seattle metro area, but you definitely need a car as it's in a rural/farming area. We passed some apple farms on the way which made me want to stop and pick apples. Alas, no time. The parking lot was right in front of the building's entrance. Even though you can have weddings outdoors, the ceremony was held inside as it had poured earlier. It's nice to have that option in case the weather doesn't cooperate. It wasn't too clear where the bathrooms were. I probably could've found them eventually, but I asked a person familiar with the place to point me in the right direction. They're on the other side of the chapel, away from the reception area. The reception was held on a covered patio which was next to an uncovered patio. There was a fire pit and also eye-catching views of the countryside. Apparently you can see mountains off in the distance but it was still a little hazy from the earlier rain shower. Speaking as a cold-averse southerner, a few more heat lamps in the reception area would have been great but I was happy to see two. The banquet hall was right next to the patios. It wasn't heated but was more enclosed. It held the wedding of nearly 200 people comfortably, with a open area in the middle for speeches, dancing, games, and other merriment. Dinner was served buffet-style on the covered patio. I had a lovely time. Glad I was able to attend a Hidden Meadows wedding!

I sincerely wanted to explore every inch of the property and take a million pictures, but unfortunately, I was Non weightbearing on crutches and really couldn't! I appreciated that the bathrooms had a good grab bar and felt safe. If I get lucky enough to attend another event there, I would not sit by the speaker in the dining area because it was extremely loud and it was hard to hear the people at my table, will leave that table for the younger generation! lol. The food from the Cabbage Patch in Snohomish was outstanding. The beef tenderloin and the spinach salad with homemade raspberry vinegarette was delicious. I'm telling you I have been to many venues in my lifetime, and this one might be my all time favorite. Kudos to the family run business!

The aesthetic leans towards modern country-tiki chic, which was great for photographs! The only downside was that since there were not many paved areas, my heels were ruined by the end of the night between the grass, gravel, and gaping floor boards on the dance floor. This space is definitely more wedges or flats friendly, which you may want to warn your guests about ahead of time.
