A dream venue truly for our solstice weekend celebration. The meticulously cared-for landscape, flow of the property, abundant decor room to borrow from, and amenities available fo...
r getting ready / overnight guests for our wedding party made it such a perfect place to get married. We knew immediately once we met with Katie and toured it for the first time that it was THE spot to host this special occasion.
From start to finish, Katie was kind to work with, responsive to our questions, and highly flexible to helping us make everything happen. If you're looking for that classic Pacific Northwest forested vibe with a sophisticated touch that's not a far shot from the city, look no further for a lovely spacious venue to celebrate with all your favorite people!
Evergreen Gardens is 100% without a doubt the most gorgeous wedding venue I've ever seen. So many of our wedding guests came up to us to tell us how beautiful it was. It truly feel...
s like an fairytale. You hardly need to decorate the venue because it's so gorgeous on its own, but they also have tons of decor items for you to use if you'd like. The owners are kind and helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Can't recommend enough!!!
I am unbelievably glad that we found this wedding venue and Katie (the owner). We were looking for a place that would showcase all we love about the PNW to our guests coming in fro...
m New England and this venue couldn't have been better! Between Evergreen Gardens' decor library, recommended vendor list, and on-site lodging, the wedding pretty much planned itself and it came together perfectly!
Our wedding at this venue was absolutely everything we dreamed of and more! We traveled all the way from Kansas to get married here, and not once did we question our decision—it wa...
s worth every mile.
Katie, the owner, was an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly kind, responsive, and made the entire planning process feel so easy. Her communication was exceptional from beginning to end, which gave us so much peace of mind while planning an out-of-state wedding.
One thing I have to say is that the photos online simply do not do this venue justice. It is even more breathtaking in person. Every corner of the property is stunning, and our wedding photos truly look like they belong in a magazine. The natural beauty of the venue created the most perfect backdrop for our day.
If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, well-maintained, and run by someone who genuinely cares about making your day special, I cannot recommend this place enough. We are so grateful we chose this venue, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Evergreen Gardens was the absolute dream wedding venue! From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The natural beauty of the gard...
ens, the peaceful forest setting, and the charming layout created the most romantic atmosphere we could have hoped for.
A huge shoutout to Katie, who was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire planning process. Her communication was consistently thorough and timely — any question we had was answered quickly, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported and confident every step of the way. Katie’s organization and calm demeanor made everything feel seamless, and we genuinely can’t thank her enough.
The venue itself is stunning, with endless photo opportunities and a layout that flows beautifully for both ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how magical and inviting the space felt.
If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only breathtaking but also comes with an amazing team that truly cares, we wholeheartedly recommend Evergreen Gardens. It was everything we hoped for and more!
Evergreen Gardens was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Everything about it is so beautiful – the garden ceremony area(s), wood pavilion, “getting ready” rooms, and fire pit area...
. Booking the venue gives you and your guests access to all of these areas, and also includes chairs, tables, décor, drinking glasses, lawn games, and more. Our guests were (and still are!) raving about how gorgeous it was.
The owner, Katie, is communicative and quick to reply to inquiries, and even let us come visit a few times throughout our planning process to envision our big day onsite. We are so grateful for her help and collaboration, and we will be recommending Evergreen Gardens to everyone looking for a venue going forward!

ase note these are new owners for the last few years and they are very LGBTQ- friendly and overall great people.
We held our wedding at Evergreen Gardens in August 2023. The grounds are gorgeous and we loved the vibe. We really appreciated that the venue is so naturally beautiful that we didn...
't need to go overboard with florals/decor for everything to be magical and just what we wanted. The dressing areas for the wedding party are spacious and super cute. We loved that there were showers! The kitchen is a great space for the catering staff to use and was so helpful. We were so grateful that there was a giant room full of items we could use during the wedding and reception. There were signs, table number holders, a variety of vases, table runners, candle holders and more. This was a major bonus for us! Jen and Katie are amazing and you can tell that they love what they do. They answered our questions promptly, never made me feel like I was asking too many questions and really made me feel seen as a bride. We highly recommend Evergreen Gardens!
Wow! What a beautiful venue! I don't even know how to put into words how much this beautiful, magical space added to the feel of our wedding. From the first minute meeting with ...
Jen to explore the space, we both knew it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The natural environment, the beautiful landscaping, the privacy and intimacy...It was everything I had imagined my wedding day to be. In addition to the beauty, it was a great value in both cost and ease of use. Most of the items that you would need to accommodate guests, as well as the option to use numerous and varied tablescape items and interesting display tables are included in the rental, making for an easy planning and setup process.
Jen was also able to point us in the right direction with suggestions for vendors to use - everything from bartenders to photographers to caterers. We used most of the vendors she suggested and, well, our day was PERFECT! We wouldn't change a thing and will forever remember the feeling of making a commitment in that beautiful place.
We had our wedding at Evergreen Gardens in 2023 and we had a great experience! Jen and Katie were great to work with. They were proactive with their communication, answered all of ...
our questions big or small, and were familiar with a ton of vendors in the area. Months later our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the venue was!
My husband and I love so many things about Evergreen Gardens that I don't even know where to begin. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - the natural beauty speaks for itself. ...
The layout of the grounds is perfect for guests to wander around the trees and gardens during cocktail hour, and enjoy the sunset during the reception. We received endless compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue was and how we hit the jackpot - we couldn't agree more! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Jenn - she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Very communicative and helpful, ready to answer any questions and provide any recommendations that she could. Our bartender, Boel, from the "approved" list was fantastic as well! We highly recommend Evergreen Gardens if you're looking for an outdoor venue!
The new owners of Evergreen Gardens have elevated a beautiful venue to new levels of splendor. The manicured laws, beautiful florals, and vibrant evergreens are exactly the Northwe...
st secret garden where we envisioned our family and friends celebrating with us. Katie and Jen are both outgoing and kind. When we asked if the venue was open to LGBTQIA+ weddings, they were embarrassed/sad that this even had to be a question. Not only is this a beautiful place, it was also a safe place for our Gay wedding. Also, Anna, our bartender from the approved list, was BEYOND helpful. She checked in often and was constantly helping with everything between pouring drinks. The reasonable rates, beauty, and personality of this venue and all involved makes this an amazing place to have your perfect day.
This venue is beyond perfect and the new owners are incredible! We are so grateful for their consistent communication and flexibility 😊 It was the most beautiful evening and every...
guest was blown away by the beauty of every nook and cranny at this amazing, hidden gem. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!!!
Evergreen Gardens is one of the most beautiful venues I could have ever imagined to have my wedding at. It truly is a hidden gem! Most of my family was coming from out of state (Ca...
lifornia and Texas) and were in complete awe when they saw this venue. The trees, flowers, cabin, etc. gave us that Pacific Northwest vibe we were looking for. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for that "Twilight" inspired wedding venue. The new owners are incredibly helpful and easy to work with.
Evergreen Gardens is the dreamiest PNW forest fairytale venue. We got married in August, and the gardens were blooming and popping with colors. We loved the serene vibe and outdoor...
beauty of the entire venue. The new owner Jenn is incredibly responsive, professional, helpful, patient, and kind in all of her communication and on the day-of. She has done a wonderful job renovating outdated bridal and grooms suites to make them modern and chic. We can not recommend this venue enough! Thank you so much Evergreen Gardens for making our day so special.
Evergreen gardens is the place to have your wedding. Not only is the place beautiful and well maintained but the owners are also terrific people. We had our dream wedding here and ...
everything turned our perfect. You will not regret booking with them.

all the unknown of covid-19. The day of, it rained up until the moment I went to walk down the isle, so we had the ceremony under the beautiful huge covered area and it was magical! Even with the rain off and on throughout the day, it was so amazing. such an awesome location surrounded by tons of natural greenery and beauty. all of our guests kept commenting n on how amazing our venue was and how beautiful the surrounding were. it felt like a steal of a deal too with all of the extras that come with the venue.
Fantastic venue with beautiful grounds!! There are multiple garden areas to choose from for a wedding ceremony with chairs and tables supplied for guests. They have a variety of va...
ses and candle holders to choose from as well as other decorations. There is glassware for rent at a good price to help make a reception a breeze. The owners are facilitating and responsive, making wedding planning go smoothly. Local vendors know the venue and respect the owners, taking the responsibility from your shoulders from having to guide them on set-up. My guests kept commenting on what a perfectly beautiful place Evergreen Gardens is. Wonderful venue!!!
WOW! This place is beautiful and Patti and Ray are so incredibly kind and nice to to work with. Everyone said how much fun they had, how amazing it looked, and how it was so seamle...
ss. Patti and Ray go completely above and beyond. They started the s'more fire for us and kept it going, they wheeled out the little space heaters when it got chilly, and they handed out blankets for our guests. All their recommendations for other vendors were the best recommendations we got and we had an absolute blast! I highly recommend it here to everyone, there is tons of space and such nice people to be around who will help out in so many ways. There is even a room of assorted wedding props they allow you to use for free!
Beautiful location and the owners were wonderful to work with!
I have been to many wedding ceremony and receptions at Evergreen Gardens and the owners are the most respectful and caring people. They care about their prospective clients, people...
whom they book, their guests and the vendors. The grounds are spectacular and always maintained to perfection. Highly recommend Evergreen Gardens. I have read some of these negative posts and my guess is that these people have never been to Evergreen Gardens and/or met the owners. Schedule an appointment and go check out the venue and meet the owners, you be happy and satisfied that you did.
Let me begin by saying -- very happy with the experience. Very happy. Wondering venue with wonderful people. Had the time of our lives.
Honestly couldn't recommend it more.
But...
I feel like I have to address the ongoing comments I'm now seeing on this page; all the reviews are either 5 star or 1 star -- and the only thing separating them is the fact that, when pressed, one of the owners disagreed on same-sex marriage? They were asked their opinion, right? How does an owner's opinion have enough weight to merit a scathing review? Can we not be reasonable? The opinion affected their Responsiveness? Really?
What if they were atheists and you wanted to have prayer at the wedding? What if they were vegetarians and you were excited about your steak dinner? Seems like overkill and frankly, kinda malicious considering the stunning care these people have taken of their landscape and business.
Do not support this business. Overtly discrinayes! Bigotry never wins. What a poor example they set in the community. They should be ashamed! Kids: Don't grow up to be Haters like...
Evergreen Gardens in Ferndale. #BoycottBigotsCelebrateLove
Not LGBT friendly. Will host a wedding for a gay couple because the law says they have to, but they will express their discomfort with it. Do not give them your money.
NOPE. NO. NEVER. Evergreen Gardens has a beautiful landscape with an ugly heart. The owners are against LGBTQ weddings, and they hurt and rejected a friend of mine whose beautifu...
l and loving soul radiates only love. Why? Solely because of her sexual orientation. Do not give a dime to this place. Love is love, and this matters.
To avoid shattering anyone's wedding day dreams, you should know that this not an LGBTQ-friendly place to hold your wedding. I have friends who were treated very kindly until the o...
