Edlynn Farm

on their property, and it is a stunning location. I attended a wedding with a few of my guests in Martha's Vineyard a couple years ago, and they raved about this location more so than that famed area. The backdrop is a looming large Mt. Rainier. Their teams were attentive during, but I only saw them when I needed them. I'm not the type that says employees shouldn't be seen or something like that, but their ability to accomplish everything they did without being a distraction was unbelievable. They operated like a 15 year business, not a 1.5 year family team. On top of their incredible service and overall pleasantness to talk with, they truly offer an incredible package. You get a bridal cottage with one large suite for the bride and her party, and a second good sized room with a second bathroom for the boys. Between is a living space with a kitchen, and this is all right next to the venue itself. The catering team gets use of an almost commercial kitchen with large commercial coolers, an ice maker, large sinks, tons of counter space, and much more, and it is located just outside a door that leads right to the bar. They provide tables (including rectangular ones for buffet/head tables, and round ones for dinner), chairs, an arbor, ample parking, and staff to grab the garbage and help with cleanup etc. I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing as well, but the above should be more than enough to let you know these guys, and their location, should be at the top of your list.

king to book this venue would be to thoroughly read the contract. The administration at the farm made a few attempts to change things regarding our event, such as bar close time, that we had not agreed to in the booking of the venue. We were given push back until we referenced the contract, at which point the venue manager agreed to honor what was in writing. We also had booked a rehearsal the night before our wedding. The rehearsal was scheduled for 4:30 and venue staff had our guests sit outside the locked gate in cars out on the main road until EXACTLY 4:30 before they unlocked the gate...so if you have a rehearsal here, don't show up even a minute early. Additionally, the venue does not have any wifi or cell service, which made communications with vendors on wedding day difficult. As long as you can agree with every point in the extremely extensive rulebook that the venue requires couples stricly adhere to, Edlynn Farm is pretty much a dream venue.

2 years as they learned what worked and what didn't and they communicated those swiftly with me which I appreciated. My day went off without any issues and I cannot thank the venue staff enough. The owners are two of the sweetest people! Any idea/vision I wanted they were more than willing to work with me. Our guests were so amazed with the venue as well- and couldn't stop talking about the beauty of it. I will recommend this place time and time again.

r final walk through one week prior to our wedding. Dealing with Edlynn Farms was the most difficult part of planning our wedding. Fortunate for us we had an outstanding wedding planner who did an amazing job of smoothing things over.

heir clients. This vendor ended up being the MOST DIFFICULT out of everything during our wedding planning. 1- We got an email saying they were implementing new “guidelines and policies”. They said we could no longer have alcohol in the bridal cottage, there were no more alcoholic shots on the premises, there was a multitude of new music standards, and so forth. When we stated that our contract contradicts their new changes, they went as far as saying that they would be happy to reimburse us our money and we can find another venue- 6 months before our wedding! 2- We had to get a lawyer involved to look over these new policies, negotiate out new terms, work out an addendum contract, and implement that no more changes would be made without our agreement. 3- Fast forward to a few weeks before my wedding. I am now being told that I HAVE to make a decision on the venue layout. Even though nowhere in my contract does it state that I have to make this decision within a certain time frame. I wanted to wait to see how the weather looked closer to my big day. 4- Days later, I am getting harassing emails from the venue saying that if I don’t make a decision, THEY WILL MAKE THE DECISION FOR ME. They even went to one of my wedding vendors and told her to make a decision on my behalf. Finally, I told them that the weather looked nice, and that we were going to move forward with the outdoor ceremony. They then NEGATED my plan and told me that it wasn’t going to happen. In those same moment, they went BEHIND MY BACK and sent new indoor ceremony layouts (different from mine) that they ‘liked better’. I was floored by this point, I sent them an email stating that none of their behavior was okay, them overruling my decision was not acceptable. 5- Come the morning of the wedding (8:00 AM), it was cloudy, but was going to be sunny well before my ceremony at 3:00 PM. The owners are now there, and throwing actual fits. They are now saying “the grass has to be completely dry to set up outside”, I felt it myself, it was BARELY damp. Also our contact clearly states that the outdoor ceremony would only move indoors in cases of “Inclement Weather”. By 10:30 AM it was sunny, and was going to remain that way for the rest of the day. They were STILL FIGHTING US on making it go indoors. At this point, we let it be known that none of this fit in with our contract and we weren't going to take it anymore. 6- I also found out that they THREATENED a $500 damage deposit for our flower petal toss for our send-off (which was approved several times already, and is used as an ‘ok’ example in their venue paperwork). So my wedding vendor had to literally negotiate with them moment before, say that she would only hand out portion of flower petals, and my wedding vendor would personally pick them up. As a bride and groom, this is the last thing you want to happen. I understand being a new venue has its own learning curve, but it doesn’t change the character of the venue staff and the way they handled these situations. Solving any problems should not include threatening, harassing and bullying your clients. I am appalled by their behavior and I encourage every engaged couple to LOOK ELSEWHERE.

liked so we scheduled a tour at Edlynn to see it in person. After the tour, he was speechless (which never happens) and we knew that was our venue! It was the perfect backdrop for our day, even with the clouds covering the mountain. Everyone was super helpful and it made our day go so well!

ing for the event. We held the wedding outside with Mt. Rainier shining bright in the background. The barn was the perfect spot for the reception on a hot summer day. In addition, the property owners were very friendly and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate this special day for our family. Thank you to the entire staff at Edlynn Farm! We will definitely use your venue in the future.

in the summer with the mountains in the back is picture perfect!

wedding day(a lot) and made it easy for people to park and get out with no fuss!

with did everything they could to make things easier for us! Amazing communication and so friendly! I can’t say enough good things about the venue and the people! Our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful this venue is. We are so happy with choosing Edlynn Farm to be apart of our special day!

for setting up and was there every step willing to help with everything we needed! the place was breathtaking!!!

oured felt like it was a field or a barn in a backyard that someone decided to have weddings in-not this venue! As we drove down to the barn it is breathtaking, it seems perfectly private and peaceful. The grounds were prefect with a view of the forest and river valley, even with it being cloudy during my visit the view was astounding. The barn is the perfect combination of the rustic feel with a minimalistic twist that will allow for my fiancé and I to create our dream wedding. Second, our tour experience and interactions with the couple that runs the venue was absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I set up a tour, and when my fiancé was 15 minutes late they were so nice about it, but when he ended up being an hour late because of an expected road closure the venue owners were still extremely kind and accommodating! The gorgeous barn and grounds combined with the friendly and easy to work with venue owners made Edlynn Farm the perfect choice for our wedding!

ave the privacy with your guests to enjoy the barn, grassy fields and amazing view of Mt Rainier. We were blessed to have a warm sunny day. We have had friends and family mention how much they loved the eagles flying overhead while the couple exchanged vows in the peaceful, private property. Our caterer, photography and dj mentioned that this is top on their list of venues that they have been invited to and look forward to working with future families at Edlynn Farm!

y of space for parking, a large barn with a loft, and an incredible view of Mt. Rainier. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I am so thankful that we found this venue and the amazing family behind it!
