We are constantly making improvements at the farm. Our current projects that we just completed was a new driveway accessing 143rd at the bottom of our hill and a fire pit located next to a custom concrete bench.

Hillside Farms was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We can’t say enough about Paul, the owner. He is flexible, responds quickly and was always welcoming while we were planning! If you are looking for a venue that allows you to create your dream wedding, we highly recommend this venue 🤍 Thank you so much Paul and staff, we couldn’t have chose a better venue to start our forever!! 9-16-23

Paul was extremely helpful every step of the way, allowing us to visit the venue twice before booking and yet again during the planning process. He is very communicative and quick to respond to both emails and texts! This venue was everything I wanted in a simple, modern barn with beautiful nature elements. We loved getting married in front of the grand wisteria with a lavender field to the side. Another fantastic element of this venue was the way in which the barn doors opened to allow for the dance floor to be both inside and outside on a hot summer evening. The only thing was challenging on our end was that we had very large bridal parties and got ready offsite due to our groups of 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen as they did not fit in the getting ready suites. Overall, we are so pleased to have selected Hillside Farms as the site of the best day ever. This venue will always hold a very special place in our hearts!

Amazing venue and owners!!! We fell in love with it the first time we saw it and the big day was perfect! All our guests kept telling us how wonderful it was too. The owner and his family helped ever step of the way to make it seamless. They are one of the kindest and most helpful people. I would recommend this to anyone.
Any questions?

AMAZING!!! This venue was exactly what we had envisioned for our wedding day. Paul was great from the day we booked to the day of. By far exceeded our expectations. Very stress free.

This venue is amazing! It’s easy to access, there’s tons of parking, beautiful views, and lots of things to explore onsite. The owner was very accommodating, great to work with, and made the planning process as easy as possible. Throughout the entire wedding day, guests were raving about how perfect the venue was, and I couldn’t agree more!

Paul was absolutely amazing to work with, he was always quick to answer questions and showed us the venue multiple times. He was a great help during setup and in spite of a medical emergency the day of Paul made sure he was back on site in time to support us during the event. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and we received multiple compliments through out the day. We would absolutely host another event here:)

The best day of our lives! This venue was spectacular!! Paul and his family were so easy going and helpful! Anything we needed, they were there to provide. Any questions we had, they were there to answer them! The whole day was so smooth! The venue itself was gorgeous, beautiful trees surrounded and greenery everywhere! The hysterias bloomed at the most perfect time for the wedding! We loved the concept of an outdoor ceremony and for our reception our guests were able to be in the barn and outside as well, it really was the best of both!! Our wedding was everything we could have asked for and more!! If you choose Hillside Farms for your venue, you won’t regret it!!😊

Our daughter was married at Hillside Farms on December 30, 2022. The venue is stunning and worked so well for an all indoor winter wedding ceremony and reception. The barn makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos. Multiple guests commented on how lovely the venue and Paul was so friendly and easy to work with! Highly recommend this venue!

The best venue! It was absolutely stunning in July and the owner is fantastic to work with.

I only have great things to say about Hillside Farms. It's obvious that Paul and his family spend lots of hours working on their property, the venue and barn are both beautiful. He was always quick to respond to our e-mails and was very easy to work with. The overall experience working with him has convinced my wife and I to join other functions at Hillside Farms. Check out this venue on your social media platforms you won't regret working with him.

August 12, 2022 was our wedding day. Hillside Farms was the perfect place for our celebration! Paul, the owner, went above and beyond to help ensure our day went perfectly. His sons helped as well. Throughout the whole planning process, he was available and answered all questions promptly. On the day of, he troubleshooted and assisted all day. We would highly recommend reserving Hillside Farms for your wedding!!

My son married his beautiful bride at this venue and everything about it was amazing! The venue is beautiful- no need for outside decorations or flowers. Paul was great to work with. He sets up and takes down all tables/tablecloths/chairs and helped us with garbage and clean up. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

If you're looking for a beautiful rustic wedding venue look no further! Hillside Farms is where it's at! The owner is professional, polite, and extremely helpful! The scenery was just outstanding! The barn is beyond gorgeous! One of the most beautiful places to be and to get married there was a dream come true! Our guests loved it so much that the soon to be couple from Arizona wants their wedding there! Such an amazing experience everything was perfect and professional!

We did a Christmas themed wedding. Was perfect with all the Christmas lights and Christmas tree. We had about 100 guests. Everything went super smooth even though we had to stay indoors because of bad weather. They had good heating options so our guests were comfortable throughout the evening. Super easy to work with from beginning to end. Thank you for a perfect day!

This venue was beautiful and worked out perfectly for our August wedding. We had about 160 guests. The ceremony was on the lawn and reception/dancing inside the barn. Paul worked with us throughout the planning process and was very flexible with decoration/setup requests we had leading up to the wedding. We had a mobile bar and food truck on the patio and it worked out great. Lots of beautiful photos and memories with our friends and family here. We definitely recommend Hillside Farms!

A perfectly laid out location that made our day amazing! The bridal cabin was perfect and gave me privacy to get ready. Words can't describe how smooth everything went at Hillside Farms. Great place and people to work with.

Hillside Farms was absolutely stunning and perfect for our day! They were easy to work with and made sure everything went smooth. Paul worked tirelessly to ensure the venue was perfect!!

Hillside Farms is probably one of the most stunning wedding venues I’ve laid eyes on- and then, wasn’t even remotely finished! (2017) My fiancé and I booked Hillside farms back in Summer of 2017 for a wedding of August 17th, 2019. Unfortunately, lots of hiccups on both sides lead to us deciding that our wedding would not be held here. (Baby was due August 20th and multiple vendors canceling on us prior) They have dealt with unnecessary backlash from a neighbor dragging them through the mud, or as I call it, hell and back. Paul has always been an outstanding guy in our eyes. Replied to every email, every phone call or text promptly. We have yet to receive our deposit back but i know in time and good faith that they will repay us as discussed. I’ve had lengthy conversations with Paul on what they’ve endured. I can only imagine the financial hiccup this created. This family deserves this venue to be successful. Too many hours of hard labor and love put into it. Yes, some may have had other experiences, but let me reassure you they want their venue to open and run smoothly! I hope 2020 is their year! Give them a call - let their genuine selves shine! Remember, It’s just like anything in life- it’s all a matter of perspective. You see what you want to see. And it says a lot about who you are inside.
Best Regards,
-Ricki Lacefield and Mark Schlott

Our wedding was at Hillside Farms the end of June 2018 and our entire experience was great from start to finish! Paul was excellent to work with, even the day after our wedding - when he was hosting another event - and we stopped by to pick up some food that had gotten left behind. The venue is simple, clean and well thought out. We're still getting compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how well our wedding turned out a year later!

At first we were blown away with the affordability and thought Hillside was going to be a great place to host our wedding. We had a change of plans and decided not to go the route of the traditional wedding. After knowing they were not permitted to be hosting weddings, they did not offer our deposit back. I reached out to express my concerns and that it felt really distasteful as a business to operate that way. Omitting information and hiding it really aren't all that different. Paul agreed to refund half our deposit. Not one of my emails or phone calls have been returned since JULY and it is my understanding that they are still booking brides knowing they cannot accommodate them!
Response from the Vendor on 05/07/2019
Raquel, over 10 months ago you emailed out of the blue canceling your wedding date due to personal circumstances that I'll keep private from the general public. I'm unclear what the motives are or why you would write a review 10 months after y...
ou cancel your wedding, long before we closed down. Reading this review with half-truths and being 10 months after the fact, honestly feels like your kicking a guy when he's clearly down and knocked out. We've been closed for quite some time. We wish you well and hope that you are able to move on one day.

This venue was shut down two weeks before my wedding! He sent out emails to “everyone” but it went straight to my husbands junk mail and he never even sent me one. He didn’t follow up with calls making sure we knew about it. We would have shown up on our wedding day to a closed venue if my husband had not called to ask a question.
Yes, he did give us our money back, but last minute trying to find another venue that had our date open was a hassle; one that we should not of had to deal with.
On December 27, 2017 they had submitted an application for a driveway permit that the county said they needed. We met with them for the first time on December 29, 2017. He never stated anything about not having all the permits for the venue. On March 12, 2018 they were pending on a second access to the driveway; still not having said anything to either me or my husband. The first email he sent out to everyone was August 3, 2018... 3 weeks before my wedding! Again, it went straight to me husbands junk email and it was never sent to me. We did not find out until the twelfth of August when we called him on a question.
On the phone later he tried to help us other venue options but he was not a whole lot of help because all he could say was what was wrong with everyone else.
He does not accept responsibility for his actions, or lack there of. I do not encourage anyone in having any sort of event here. If there is a problem he will just put a cover over his eyes and hope it goes away.
Response from the Vendor on 09/07/2018
Holly, we have accepted full responsibility for what occurred so not sure why you made this statement and we have apologized over and over. We sent out emails to many of our friends that own venues, so unclear why you say I was negative about...
them. We let you borrow our wine barrels for your date free of charge and have offered this to everyone affected by what has occurred. We have also offered our tables and chairs for free to any couple that needs them. We're working through the issues with County, we fully understand that things will not just go away by covering our eyes. We wish you good health and happiness in your journey of life. Sometimes there are bumps in the road (just like we are experiencing right now), but staying positive and upbeat will show your true character.

This venue cancelled on my 24 hrs before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. They knew they were having issues with their neighbors complained for over a year about their venue. I had no idea about any of it until it was to late, and I was scrambling literally the day before my wedding thinking I wasn't even going to get married anymore. Stay away from this place no matter what they tell you!!!!!! Too many issues!
Response from the Vendor on 09/03/2018
Tiffany, we are beyond sorry for what occurred, however, it was a forced action from Thurston County. This had nothing to do with our neighbors. Thurston County is demanding that we cease all events until we get full approval for our new driv...
eway location that was submitted in March of 2018. We worked tirelessly reaching out to multiple venues to help move your wedding. We were able to locate a beautiful venue about 15 mins away that was able to accommodate your wedding on short notice. We also refunded your wedding in full. Again, we are sorry for what transpired, but please know that it was out of our control.

Absolutely perfect spot for a rustic wedding. We recently had our wedding here and it was unbelievable. Paul the owner was on site and ensured our tables and chairs were exactly how we wanted everything laid out along with the wine barrels. We had a couple mishaps with forgetting some supplies, but Hillside had extra wire, tape, nails etc. so there was never a panic to get things decorated. Huge thank you for helping make our day absolutely perfect!! The pictures and view was stunning. If you want a laid back environment with scenic views and helpful staff, this is the place. Looking forward to celebrating our anniversary here when we renew our vows in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Attended a friends wedding here the end of June. This place is amazing and the rustic look is beautiful. The people on site had everything set up just how my friend wanted it and worked with her to make sure everything went smoothly. Awesome staff and extremely clean grounds. Would have definitely considered this location if it was open 4 years ago when I got married. Nice spot with beautiful sunsets!!

We had put down a deposit and my fiancé was diagnosed with a horrible disease within 2 months of us putting down our deposit. Mind you there was still 7-8 months before the date we reserved... Paul said he would work with us on giving our deposit back and he totally blew us off because he couldn’t find someone to fill that date. It’s not like we had cancelled within a month or he had put himself out and lost potential to fill it ... it was pure greed and lack of caring for people. Would NEVER recommend this place after that. Where are the good people in this world? I guess that scripture tattoo on his arm is all for show not because he was truely a caring man.
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2018
I truly am sorry for the unfortunate circumstances. I attempted many times at showings and the wedding show and even offered discounting the day to more than one couple to get it filled as I communicated to you via phone and email. To say I b...
lew you off is inaccurate and slander. Your date unfortunately landed to close to the 4th and no one wanted to fill it because of the holiday and their guests having other plans already. There was a signed contract in place and I did agree to refund your deposit given your situation if I could've found another couple. I think that rating the venue with such a negative review and personally attacking me is uncalled for and would hope that you would rethink all the negativity you wrote. We strive to make everyone's wedding as perfect as possible from a venue standpoint. Again, we are sorry for the medical situation and wish you and Michael the best.

I had my wedding here in late Oct, 2017, and we can't say enough good things! The venue is absolutely perfect! It has a lovely outdoor grass lawn with views of the countryside, a cool side patio where we had a cocktail hour, and the beautiful inside of the barn is picturesque. The craftsmanship of the barn is impressive, and the white lights twinkling through the space add incredible ambiance. Paul, the owner, has thought about every small detail.
Paul was easy to work with and communicate with. He was onsite and was flexible to help with needs - he helped to make the day stress free. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the grounds and building were. I can't think of a better place or better owners. Thank you for making our day perfect!
My wife and I started in the wedding industry back in 2002.
The vision of creating this venue dates clear back in 2008, when the plans were intially drawn up in Eatonville. After life took some unexpected turns, this opportunity came up and we couldn't pass this by. The venue was built from the ground up and we are excited to be able to offer this facility as a part of your day.
Talk to you soon,
Paul
