The venue was way better than expected. It was beautiful and had a place for all your needs. The waterfall is amazing as well as the arbor area. I really could not imagine we would have ever found a place that was so amazing. Everyone that attended our son’s wedding is really still talking about how amazing the wedding was along with the serene setting. I feel like this place is worth every penny spent. If you are looking for a venue you must check them out. It does not disappoint. We got some beautiful pictures and everyone had a fantastic time. They literally had everything you could need. The barn is were after the wedding and dinner everyone hung out. It is a completely magical place. The owners and their family made sure we had everything we needed. The bride and groom sweets were beautifully decorated and a super sweet place for the parties to get ready for the big day. A lot of fun was had that day. Thank you Legacy Farms for making memories like this. You can obviously tell on there side that this is a labor of love. If I need a venue again I will definitely be booking them again. Thanks so much for this beautiful setting for our wedding

This venue is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect setting for my wedding. I loved having the Puget Sound and Narrows Bridge in the backdrop as we said, “I do.”. Having access to the dock for golden hour photos made for some beautiful photos. The venue was a great value for everything it comes with – tables, chairs and linens that view.. it can’t be beat. It was a hot, beautiful, but hot summer day (high of 83 degrees) when I got married at the venue and it was pretty hot throughout the venue, but especially inside bridal suite and cove (where we took a lot of our bridal & family photos). There were some fans in the bridal suite, but I wish I had brought extra fans for the bridal suite because it was HOT. It would have been nice if I had a hand fan for myself during photos because it was just super warm and I had a big hot dress on. The fans inside the main area of the venue helped when you were standing near them, and having the garage doors open helped too but the venue could definitely benefit from a few more giant fans. Other than the heat, it was a great venue. If I had to do anything differently, it would just be to bring some extra fans. It was a sweaty party, but it was a fun party! The Waterfront Venue is a great venue to host your event.
