The Farmhouse 1744 is a beautifully designed, brand new event venue on Spirit Lake Highway in…read moreCastle Rock, Washington. I had the pleasure of attending the very first wedding hosted in this location, and the owners graciously gave me a walkthrough of the property. Considering this venue just opened, what impresses me the most is how established the landscaping and hardscaping feels. Visitors are greeted with a gorgeous gravel driveway that winds through an evergreen forest, then opens to a large gravel lot with plenty of room for event parking. A gently sloping lawn stretches in front of the primary structure, and the entire property is bordered by stately douglas fir and cedar trees. The primary structure is expertly laid out to ensure a wide variety of events can take place in the space. The bathrooms are spacious and stylish. The kitchen is well-positioned, providing easy access for unloading and loading, as well as preparation and serving. There is a lofty and spacious feeling throughout the building, with high ceilings and lots of light. In fact, two giant roll-up glass doors enhance the sense of progression between indoor and outdoor spaces. The owners spared no expense when lovingly adding details like this throughout the building. What I like most about this facility is that while the cavernous interior has a capacity for 200 people, there are plenty of niches and corners where visitors can gather for more intimate conversations. There are several distinct zones on the patios that can be unified by simply rolling up the glass doors. That sense of flow is important for successful event planning. My friend's wedding was everything she'd hoped it would be - an absolutely lovely celebration. The owners of The Farmhouse 1744 were gracious and accomodating, highly responsive, and incredibly reasonable to work with. Wedding planners and brides-to-be, if you're open to a rural location an hour north of Portland, it doesn't get any better than this!

Vintage cars and trucks add to the venues character. The barn features two large sliding barn doors upstairs and down and feature antler handles. The concrete floors include stamped planks at the enterance of the barn and a compass rose greets guests just inside the door. Glass chandeliers and string lights line the ceiling beams and large log rounds and iron work form the railings leading to two grand staircases ending at the stage. A large prep kitchen complete with refrigeration and oven lead to an outdoor space for catering vendors. A large service bar, coat closet and plenty of storage are hidden throughout the venue. Tables and linens are included in the contract. Full hook-up camping and several chain hotels are within 30 miles in either direction of the venue. A beautiful location for a wedding, party or family gathering.

You can't get any better service than her. It's got a reasonably good atmosphere. While slightly cramped, it's nothing you can't easily move around in. As for their product selection, it's pretty large. I felt like they covered all major holidays/events, with reasonable prices. My Mom and I went in about an hour before closing, and still got great service plus the products we needed. Overall, it's a small party store with the party supplies you need, and an employee who will raise your mood just from conversing with her.

I called Jansen and spoke with a very helpful lady and ordered a large bouquet of long stem red roses with baby's breath (maybe?). The flowers were in our room when we arrived. They were (and still are 3 days later) spectacular. They came in a very nice glass vase and were perfect. My wife said they were the nicest she's seen in many years. (We live in Seattle now.) She was delighted to hear that they came from Jansen. Apparently, Jansen provided flowers for our wedding all those years ago. I got credit for the flowers and the sentimental bonus of the connection to our wedding. Undeserved on my part but welcome. Thanks Jansen! You really came through for us.
