Lord Hill Farms Reviews

We toured many other venues before finding Lord Hill Farms. Once we got to the venue we already knew it was the one. Beautiful outdoor patio and ceremony area with indoor reception area and an alternative indoor ceremony area. Communication was a breeze, staffing is great and honestly the food is not too bad! Would highly recommend this venue!

Our experience with planning and celebrating our daughter's wedding at Lord Hill Farms could not have gone better. Tracy was very helpful with suggestions and flexibility. She helped us stay on budget and have the wedding of my daughter's dreams. Lord Hill Farms supplied the venue, the catering, the flowers and decor. All were excellent. They coordinated well with our other vendors. Overall it was a wonderful experience. If I had to do it all over again I gladly would. I highly recommend Lord Hill Farms!

Lord Hill Farms is an incredibly beautiful venue both inside and outside, but this review is for the venue’s amazing communication and attention to detail. From the day my husband and I booked LHF as our wedding venue, we have had the best experience with Tracy and the rest of the team there. Planning a wedding can be daunting, but is so much easier when the venue coordinators are highly communicative, kind, professional, and on top of things. Everything from the venue set-up, florals, food, and service was amazing. I am so glad my husband and I got to spend our big day there!

Lord Hill Farms was awesome! They were always responsive to all my (many) questions, had clear expectations and great service day of. The timelines they set also helped keep me on track and our day was perfect. People loved the venue!

The most beautiful venue and wedding. The staff was so helpful and friendly and made our day go by so smoothly. I strongly recommend this venue. The most beautiful ceremony and garden!!

I decided to go with LHF because 1) the venue was gorgeous, 2) had an indoor option for the ceremony in case of rain, and 3) they offer many services on site, including food, décor, linens, chairs, etc. It was completely worth it. I planned the wedding in under 6 months and LHF was great in helping me stay on track every step of the way. They were patient as I worked through all the details and when we decided to move the reception outdoors last minute due to the safety risks, they worked with me to make sure it went smoothly. The wedding was beautiful, the food was delicious and the entire day went so smoothly. I heard great things from so many guests and am grateful to their entire team.

From the moment we toured Lord Hill Farms, we knew that it was going to be our wedding venue. We were captivated by the venue’s beautiful grounds as well as the indoor reception facility. Inside you’ll find plenty of room and well laid out space. I really like the fact that it had changing quarters for both ladies and men which makes it easy for getting ready on the day of. Also, that they have an option for indoor or outdoor ceremony. Their in-house catering is amazing! So many of our wedding guests raved about the appetizers and all of the dinner selections we had (London Broil, Chicken Asiago & Roasted Salmon)! We also ordered lunch for us and the wedding party on the day of whole getting ready and it was delicious as well!

Planning a wedding during COVID definitely presented many challenges and uncertainties, but
Tracy and Jaque were both so quick and helpful to respond to our questions and we felt that our needs/expectations were covered. We asked so many questions but we know it’s always good to make sure so both parties are on the same page and that’s how we felt working with them. I highly recommend Lord Hill Farms!

Not only is this a beautiful venue but all the staff are incredible! I, mom, had to be the wedding coordinator due to COVID restrictions, timing and location. I had questions. I was stressed. I didn't remember all the details that go into a wedding, and Lord Hill Farms delivered tenfold and then some! I am grateful to every single staff member there. They were patient, kind and answered every question I had and although it was via email most of the time, I felt like I was getting a hug that said it's okay, Kim, we got this. The food was amazing! Amazing!! The decorations/flowers were beautiful! Matt was in charge of the reception/dinner and we threw a couple (or more :D) curveballs doing things earlier than planned and he was on it! No irritation from him or his staff. They just got in there and got it done, and everything flowed like a beautiful waterfall! The wedding was more than we expected. Lord Hill Farms... It's where you want your wedding or special occasion to be! I can't rave enough about them here. Not enough room. They're the best and it showed! You won't be sorry. I promise you you won't be sorry! Lord Hill Farms! You guys are the best! Thank you for making my son's wedding the best ever! Much love to you all there! Thank you from my heart! XOXO

It is truly unfortunate that I must write a seriously negative review of a highly recognized wedding venue. When I heard that this respected firm that offers a beautiful venue, filling so many people's hearts on their special day year after year retained $4,795.00 of our family's deposit because of obvious greed and a flimsy yet 'legal' contract during the heat of the Covid 19 outbreak when people were dying left and right in WA State, is reprehensible. They refused to extend the date of their wedding even though by WA state law they were not permitted to host a group of 100, no reception and they didn't care that the family was rightly concerned about the health of a vast number of immediate aging family members that were at high risk. LHF had nothing to lose, they said ' we will not move dates when we are open'. Not a surprise to hear the greedy people behind this decision, who had nothing to lose by extending the date still have a successful business model after 30 years. Keeping honest family's hard-earned deposits DURING A PANDEMIC! Future wives and husbands beware! This will not be the last negative review that myself and the entire guest list will flood the 'airwaves’ with unless something is done to motivate the owners of this establishment to do the right thing.’ Hopefully the right decision will be made quickly. I know the media will also be interested in this story. If the money is refunded, I will exonerate them as will our family and friends to the highest degree. It will be worth far more to them than the $5,000 they have ‘temporarily borrowed’ from these kind people.

As a bride I took a lot of time to read reviews about the venues I looked at - I hope you are reading this before booking. As a venue, LHF is very beautiful. They charge you for every small detail and are expensive overall, but beautiful. When Covid hit they did a horrible job of being flexible and compassionate. My husband and I decided we wanted to move our wedding up due to all the craziness - we tried to reschedule with them and were told they would charge us $1000. They would not give us our deposit back, even though we had only booked a month prior. They held no compassion for us as a family when it came to loosing thousands of dollars. We understand that businesses are going through hard times but that gives them no write to ignore our many phone calls and to not treat us well.
The staff was disappointing in how they handled this situation.

First of all I just want to say that the venue itself looks beyond beautiful and very romantic; however their service did not match up. My fiance' and I were going to get married on 08/07/2020; however, due to Covid outbreak, we wanted to postpone to 2021 since a lot of our family members aren't able to make it. We reached out to lord hill farm staff both via emails and phone to discuss the possibility to reschedule, but we did not have a great experience with the staff of Lord Hill Farm. We loved the venue and we were willing to take any dates in 2021, but the lord hill farm staff were not very flexible and they only wanted to focus on the weddings that are affected right now because of covid 19 (April and May weddings). In crisis, we felt that we were not being prioritized and supported for something that was out of our control. The contract penalties for cancellation were more severe as the date to our wedding grew closer and we as the customers were forced to make a difficult decision on whether to continuing our August wedding and take on more financial risk with a venue that could not reassure us of what our options would be closer to our wedding or cancel early. They also stated that the refund policy remain the same regardless. We felt extremely disappointed in the service that they offer and in the end we cancelled their service.

Lord Hill Farms took our breath away when we first toured it. We had been looking for an indoor space that could accommodate a ceremony and a reception for approximately 120 people for our early March wedding, and this venue hit every mark. We were nervous initially about having a ceremony taking place up some steep stairs (concerning older family members), but they had a neat little elevator tucked in the back for those who needed it.
We planned our wedding eleven months in advance of the wedding day, but the date that we originally wanted was booked. We decided that we loved their venue so much that we compromised on that detail. After working with them through all of the details (there are a lot of them!), we can see why so many people choose LHF as their wedding/event venue. The staff were very professional and helpful with any and all questions that we had. They were very accommodating and flexible when it came down to small details that got changed at the last moment. On the big day, everything was handled by them including the catering (in-house), set up, bar, and florals. We didn’t have to think about anything other than getting married and having fun! We were extremely impressed with the quality of the food; we even had some known picky eaters complimenting how good everything was. We used their in-house floral services and were very happy with what we ended up with.
The only thing missing from LHF is a day-of coordinator; there is so much going on that it is almost a necessity to have one!
Overall, we would recommend this venue to everyone!

We are overjoyed with how our wedding turned out - thank you thank you thank you Lord Hill Farms!!! It was a dream winter wedding, perfect NYE party space and we have heard from all of our guests how it felt like a winter wonderland, how great the layout of the venue was and how tasty the food was! We had the misfortune of our original venue shutting down ten weeks before our wedding and had to scramble to find a back up plan for ceremony and reception space, catering, alcohol/bartenders and decorations. LHF and Delanie really saved our day. We could not believe LHF still had an opening on 12/31 ten weeks before the date but they worked with us and helped put everything together quickly and expedited their whole planning process to fit our timeline so we didn't need to reschedule our wedding. No one could believe that our "plan B" was that incredible so thank you again for making this happen for us on such short notice! We truly believe our wedding at LHF was 1000x better than it would have been at our original venue! People thought the bartenders were great and fun to talk to, I've heard comments about how attentive the staff was to the buffet and how quick they were to clean up some of the dance floor spills - oops! I hadn't initially seen LHF when we originally started planning our wedding in summer 2018 because I think a lot of the photos highlight their outdoor wedding space (which is amazing!) but if you're looking to plan a winter wedding in the greater Seattle/Snohomish area then look no further - this venue and this team was a dream to work with!!

Lord Hill Farms is such a beautiful indoor (and outdoor!) venue. It ended up being perfect for our winter wedding in January. My fiancé and I had a rather rough wedding planning process... our original venue we had booked suddenly shut down 3 months before our wedding, so we had to scramble to find a new venue, plus catering. Luckily, we found LHF and were able to still keep our same date! The staff was so accommodating to us with our short timeline and helped us with re-planning the whole ceremony, reception, and catering (the food really is delicious, by the way). They made it such a smooth process! It was such a breath of fresh air after all the stress and chaos that we had gone through with our other venue. Shout out to Delanie in particular - she was such a huge help and great resource throughout the planning, including at rehearsal and on the big day! Thank you to LHF and staff for such an amazing setting for our wedding. It truly was everything we could have hoped for!

Our experience working with Lord Hill Farms was fantastic through the whole process of securing the venue, to coordinating the event timeline, to taste testing the catering package, to the wedding day itself, which went marvelously. We were thrilled with their responsiveness and service. LHF does a great job with everything, and the staff is very communicative. The venue itself is already gorgeous and, though it needs very little personal decor, accommodated all our personal touches so well. The food was absolutely fantastic as well (we had the winter salad, mashed potatoes, veggies, and pesto chicken). We are so grateful for our experience and would recommend them enthusiastically! You will not be disappointed!

We are currently working with LHF for our wedding next January, and they have exceeded ALL of our expectations!!! Since our first walk through appointment, they have been nothing but kind and helpful. They offer in house catering and in house floral, which we have already hired for both! If you want a beautiful venue with both indoor and outdoor amenities, that allows for easy wedding planning, I highly recommend Lord Hill Farms! Will update review with photos once our wedding comes and goes :)

This was an amazing venue for our wedding! The team prior to the wedding and the team who staffed on the wedding night were all so great! They also did in house floral and food and those were perfect as well. Everyone keeps telling us it was the best wedding food they have ever had, and it was delicious. Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this place.

Thank you Lord Hill staff for making our wedding a dream come true! We really enjoyed working with all of you! Our guests cannot stop talking about how magical the whole day was! The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful throughout the whole process! Loved that we didn’t have to use too many outside vendors- we got our food, alcohol, floral, bartenders, and day-of help all from Lord Hills!

I don't have enough characters to rave about how amazing this venue is and talk about the few negative aspects of our experience so I will only discuss the negative, but know that everything else was beautiful and wonderful. When we booked this venue, we made it abundantly clear that the groom was allergic to nuts and that this was to be a no nut wedding. They wrote it all over our contract and we had spoken in person about it to both of the venue contacts. We decided to book our rehearsal dinner with them as well. The MOG was coordinating this effort and also made it very clear that the G was allergic to nuts. Unfortunately, at the rehearsal dinner, everyone's salads had almonds on them. The catering staff did not seem to be aware of the nut allergy and one of the venue contacts said that they must have not copied it over from the wedding catering notes. Now, this is a pretty bad mistake to make especially considering that the groom was not the only one in the room with a life threatening allergy to tree nuts. The fact that this note was not communicated with the catering staff is unacceptable, but on top of that, they should have had a separate rehearsal dinner note saying the same thing because the MOG specifically told them again that the groom was allergic to nuts. This leads me to the second negative thing which also has to do with poor communication between the venue and the catering staff. We asked all of our guests if they would prefer sparkling cider or champagne for their toasts so that we could make sure to have enough sparkling cider for everyone who wanted it. When they went to pour champagne for the toasts, they did not bring out the sparkling cider. My mom asked them for some and they said that we didn't pay for that or that they didn't have it (something along those lines). Luckily, my mom knew very well that we did order it (a lot of it) and that they should have it. They finally brought it out and hopefully everyone who wanted it got some.

From the beginning, LHF was communicative with me and always answered my emails in a timely manner. Throughout the planning process, I felt cared for. The day of the wedding, I received many compliments on the actual venue space. It was beautiful and elegant inside and out! The area has amazing views, great for photos. Guest also raved about the food! Garlic mashed potatoes were the hit of the night. Overall, I had a great experience with the Lord Hill Farms!

We loved every part of our wedding at Lord Hill Farms!! The staff was extremely easy to work with and they all went above and beyond to accommodate our every need.

I got married here in October 2017 and it was everything I could've imagined. We held our ceremony upstairs and our reception downstairs. We secured the venue about 9 months in advance of the wedding and the entire staff was such a pleasure to work with that entire time. They were super responsive on email and always very professional. There were no surprises or slips on the day of the wedding which is all you can ask for as a bride! The staff on the day of the wedding was amazing, specifically our bartender. Although it's a bit pricey, you will be happy with the value you receive and you will appreciate that the venue provides everything (linens, cutlery, chairs, etc.) so you're not running around the next day returning everything. My only regret is the lack of decor that I brought in. The venue is very large and could've used even more decor throughout, which is something I underestimated. We would highly recommend this venue!

Our daughter and her now husband's wedding was held July 3, 2017 at Lord Hill Farms. This was their favorite of all Seattle locations. Many of the dates they wanted were already selected, so we were creative in choosing the Monday of the 4th of July weekend. With over 100 guests coming from out of town, this allowed for a fun holiday getaway and gorgeous setting. This location in July is absolutely stunning!! We began the process working with Lisa, and then Tracy took over. Each woman was a delight to work with throughout the planning process. Our calls and emails were quickly answered. This was important to me, trying to organize this meaningful celebration from afar. I have planned numerous events over the years, but definitely relied on Tracy's advice and expertise to make this a wedding to remember. There was never a time that Tracy wasn't helpful, friendly and positive. She was always flexible and willing to work with us on ideas and preparations in the six months leading up to the big day. We were so fortunate to have wonderful weather the afternoon of the wedding. Many guests took shuttles from the hotel, but the ones that drove found plenty of parking. The grounds at LHF are well cared for, and were incredibly beautiful with lush vegetation. The wedding was held outside, down a lovely paved path and in front of a gazebo. Tracy worked with us on all of the flowers for the event and we were thrilled with the results. Our guests raved about all of the delicious passed appetizers during cocktail hour (pork sliders, meatballs, crostini, rosemary chips), and amazing dinner buffet (prime rib, salmon, asparagus, salad and garlic mashed potatoes). There was plenty of food, and we were grateful for good service all evening. The white lights on the columns helped make the room sparkle. Our daughter and her husband loved their wedding, and we have received many positive comments and notes. LHF was the perfect venue for us-so special and memorable!!

Brides beware! Not impressed with our expierence! Venue was beautiful, but the staff was horrible. Hard to get a hold of, extremely rude, and the food was awful. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
