Everyone taking a look at the goats, burros, and chickens. And of course, the pinball machines were a huge hit for all who attended. The shuttle from the overflow lot to the grounds was flawless, continually running until everyone had arrived. Andrea was awesome, providing umbrellas for the wedding for the quick storm that passed through during the ceremony; she bartended when one could not be found; and even quickly responded to a spill on the dance floor. I can't say enough good about the venue or how much Andrea did to make my daughter and son-in-laws wedding so memorable. I will recommend Red Cedar Farm to all.

I've stayed with them multiple times and each time it has been just amazing. They're located in the city of Poulsbo, WA on a working 17 acre farm. It's a private farm that you can pet everything from Pigmy Goats to sheep....to their two wonderful dogs (Hank and Abby). It's very close to downtown historic Poulsbo and easy to find (look for the big sign at the entrance to their property), with a lengthy dirt driveway to their house. Once you arrive, you're usually met by one or both of your hosts...welcoming you to their nice quiet property. Attached are photos from this visit...make sure to give them a try!

In the first 2 minutes of my conversation with the owners, I felt as if we were long term friends. That extended to the time I arrived and quite frankly my entire experience. The room was ultra comfortable with fireplace, separate outdoor egress with wonderful views, coffee maker and cable/internet. I could have breakfast (which was outstanding) anytime I wanted and they were so flexible and friendly. This will be my preferred location whenever I come out - hopefully with my wife who was so jealous when I showed her the pictures.

The decor, flowers,drinks, food and cake were spectacular and we received so many compliments from our guests. Your team really are the best and you made our dream a reality. No words are enough!

Thank you Port Gamble Weddings & Events for making the most important day of our lives so perfect.

We were married at this spot 12 years ago and things have certainly changed. The layout of the…read moreproperty is different, and some things feel more cramped, less spacious and open. There is also more gravel rather than lawn, which limits the usable space of the "backyard". The water views are still lovely and the bushes, flowers, shrubbery nice and well-maintained. Years ago, we were unable to use our own caterers without a lot of negotiation, additional costs and proof of insurance, not to mention covering the costs of the caterers transportation (which we offered to do). The staff over a decade ago felt impersonal and stand-offish, unfriendly and not wishing to be bothered by confirming reservations, nor addressing any questions we had in regards to our wedding day and the property. I hope things have gotten better, and that the people one works with now are more communicative, friendly and happy/willing to help.

The building itself is nice. Frpm the main room, there's a floor-to-ceiling window that you can look out to the water and see the boats and scenery. This is especially when a slight distraction is welcome from a boring moment in a meeting. . Until recently, they catered our Rotary's 7am breakfast. We now have an outside caterer bringing the food in. I honestly never thought The Son's food was that spectacular. So, changing to another vendor was fine with me. However, they always had the nicest people volunteering their time to serve our group every morning. These are folks that went out of their way to give positive greetings, made sure that they were putting your food on your dish the way you liked it when they were serving from the window, and always offered a friendly chat. I have some friends that have attended Sons of Norway activities, trivia games, community meals, and such. They have really enjoyed them.

Upon checking into the Kingston area for places to visit, this one popped up in my search, another hidden secret, none of my Washington native coworkers seemed to know. Well, being the plant nerd I am, it was quickly placed first on my list of adventures in the Kingston area. Beautiful entrance, not easily seen if you're flying by. Lots of hidden treasures throughout, plants and additional ornaments ( like the old dump truck or piano) some of the gardens, especially around the old homestead are well developed, but there are quite a few newer additions and more being developed. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, Norma Jean was great! Not only with the history and plants of the gardens, but other places to check out in the area as well. The Port Gamble S' Klallam tribe purchases the gardens in 2012 and with the assistance of one of the originators, Dan Hinkley, it has been restored, rejuvenated, and additional gardens are growing. It's worth multiple visits during the year as the many rare plants go through blooming seasons and the colors of new growth and flowers change. They also cultivate a nursery of quite a few of the rare and unusual plants, definitely there will be some purchasing in future visits. This garden is easily walkable and not large, well worth the ten dollar ticket. Enjoyable for anyone who loves nature and being outdoors. It alone was worth the ferry ride over to Kingston. Enjoying the beautiful weather and flowers. Happy Yelping!

On the first day it was legal, we and a half-dozen other couples were hosted by the S'kallam tribe, who went all out for us, and covered all the costs. What a gift to the local LGBT community! Burpee bought out the original nursery many years ago, and it went downhill for a while, but since it was sold to the S'Kallam tribe, they've restored it to its former glory, and even hired the original founder (well-famed Dan Hinkley) to help maintain, restore, and manage it with a group of volunteers. Dan once again travels in search of unusual plants ideal for temperate gardens. This is worth visiting just for its park value, and definitely worth a special trip even from far off, though always make sure of the hours before setting out; they keep limited public hours (generally Fridays 10 am to 3 pm, but sometimes other days and longer hours depending on events and special sales and such). The plant collection is unique; the park areas and buildings can be rented for weddings and private events; and the nursery arranges all sorts of seasonal public events worth attending. Take their tour, it's incredibly informative in addition to simply beautiful.

This was an experience we definitely look forward to repeating in the future. Pro-Tip: If you are stuck, ask the server for recommendations on tea offerings.
