I made my way inside because another friend recommended the wine flight and some savories and I had fun chillling in the shady indoors, listening to the music. What a cool venue!

The wine is just average - we did like the white reisling and the malbec, and the port was also good. We ordered the trail mix which is actually a small charcuterie plate. The crackers were stale. The music was KZOK radio (Seattle). Rock and roll did not fit the beautiful decor. So it's kind of a mixed bag. But go see the saloon and beautiful light fixtures.

But what really makes this place special and different from other venues are the owners. John and Juanita are the absolute best! So accommodating, laid back, generous, fun, etc. I can't say enough about them and how easy they were to work with. Talk about low-stress planning. They made everything easy and fun for us. We all like them so much that we are trying to figure out what else we can book at their venue just to see them again! The upstairs area for getting ready is huge and great for on-site hair and makeup and pre-game photos. Lots of fun props up there. I feel like Capitol City Barn will quickly become the premier venue in Olympia with these wonderful people at the helm. You will NOT be disappointed!

I had the unfortunate experience of losing my father February 19th of this year. I knew that I…read morewanted to do something special after his service to celebrate his life. I wanted to allow our friends and family time to talk about the meaningful times that we were lucky enough to spend with a man that meant so much to so many. Since I live in Portland, I knew it would be challenging to find a space online. I grew up in Olympia, and it has changed a lot. I found somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 possibilities. When I stumbled across the website for the Abigail Stuart House, it just felt right. I called Carolyn, who rents the house and found out that it was available for the 26th when I needed it. We scheduled a tour for the Friday prior. Perfect. The rental included tables, chairs, a very roomy full kitchen with all kinds of serving trays and cooking utensils, an oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Most places didn't have such a full set up. For the most part things have to be rented separately. The only thing we needed to provide were tablecloths. Easy. Since it's an historic property it has a lot of charm. High ceilings, hardwood floors, a foyer with space to hang coats, a parlor with comfortable sofas and cushy chairs. The parlor also has a baby grand piano, and gas fireplace. There is a bathroom on the main floor, as well as a men's and women's restroom upstairs. There is room to accommodate up to 150 in the main room. Plenty of space for everyone. Carolyn gave me the tour, and I paid on the spot. They only charge $400 all inclusive for the full day and night, with a $250 refundable deposit. You don't even have to clean. We only needed to put away the tables and chairs, and place anything from the kitchen that we used in the dishwasher before we left. It wasn't rented Saturday, so she was kind enough offer it to me for an additional $100 so that I could set up beforehand. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to do so. I don't think you can find such an affordable deal anywhere! They're incredibly easy to work with. It's centrally located downtown, and has a parking lot to accommodate 22 cars. There is also ample street parking. It would be ideal for wedding receptions, reunions, or about anything else you might need. I was able to pick up my full deposit the following Tuesday morning. I can't recommend them highly enough. Take a look at their website, and see for yourself. The money from the rental also benefits many local charities, as an added bonus.

Every single other venue in the area charges by the hour, or offers packages that give you six hours start to finish. We opted for the full package (when we paid it was $2500). No nickle and diming, no having to clean up after your own wedding, linens, tables, tents, everything included. We had all day on our wedding day (August 15, 2015), and because it was open, were given access all day the Friday before. Jamie and his wife were quick to give us great answers and do anything they could to help beforehand. Jamie worked really hard before, during, and at the end to make sure it went smoothly. At one point, when I was exhausted and stressed (my chef disappeared and I--with the help of family I hated asking to help--had to cook all the food), he sat down next to me and calmed me completely. This is the thing about this venue--they love what they do for a living, and haven't forgotten how important your wedding is to you. As I looked at all the leftover food at the end I felt bad, and found out it was being donated to a nearby group home--just an example of how positive you'll feel about everything here. I was thrilled today, one month after the event, to find that 100% of my deposit had been refunded. I'm sure you all know how many businesses of all types try to find a way to eat that up. Not here. If you want super posh, maybe this isn't your venue. If you are someone who is not spending 30K or more on a wedding like that one you've seen on TV, this place is fantastic. Loads of lovely outdoor space with multiple tents available, we had plenty of room for tables, a band and dancing inside as well. You will never find a venue owned by nicer, more sincerely helpful folks, I assure you.
