The Wayfarer Reviews

I planned my wedding without ever getting to see the Wayfarer in person until we arrived for our destination wedding. They were able to accommodate our wedding with only 8 weeks notice and I am forever grateful! Kelly and Erica made the process seamless and really put my mind at ease.
On the day of they were life savers! They made sure everything went according to plan, even after another vendor ( not one they had recommended) had messed up they worked to make sure that I still had everything I wanted that day. The indoor barn area is gorgeous and intimate and the dinner table under the canopy of trees was beyond beautiful. I am SO happy I chose the Wayfarer to have my wedding. I chose not to have my florals done at the wayfarer because I had already hired one before I found the venue and I will say that I wish I had used Kelly and Erica for the florals so if you have the chance to definitely use them! Lion their bartender was a hit! Many guests commented after the fact on how friendly and social he was.

Thank you so much Kelly and Erica our day would not have been the same without you!

The Wayfarer is simply magical!
From being surrounded by trees to dancing under the string lights at night and the gorgeous long table they set, the venue is nothing short of a luxurious and whimsical experience. It felt like an upscale Alice in Wonderland moment. Kelly and her team are outstanding. They help you with everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Unloading your car, filling up your petal cones, organizing all of the welcome drinks, setting up the timeline. My head is stuck in the moments they executed perfectly. THE FLOWERS!!!, Erica is a magician I think. Her floral arrangements at our dinner table, to all the other little floral arrangements around the venue, on our welcome sign and my bouquet were to die for. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on the venue itself and the flowers. This goes to show this team is beyond outstanding at what they do. They are also great at calming down the bride and groom. They know how it works and how high emotions can run that day. They are more than just a team who creates a gorgeous wedding venue. They’re like your sisters. They are the dream team. Helping with every single detail down to the place settings. Being under a canopy of trees and lights was magical. My husband and I still talk about how we want to go back to that night and do it all over again. Kelly’s team is what you need and what you want. We love the Wayfarer.

I’ve always dreamed of a garden wedding with a beautiful white barn to getting married in. When we first started looking for venues I found the Wayfarer and knew this was the place. We had a few venues picked out but once we were at the Farm I couldn’t even remember the names of the other venues. I was in awe and it didn’t stop there.
Kelly and Erica have made the most amazing experience possible for couples getting married. Communication was always quick and efficient, they answered all my questions, no matter how big or small. The attention to detail that they provide is above anything we could have expected.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was the most romantic wedding and they made my dreams come true.
We had Erica do our floral arrangements as well and they were stunning. The flowers lasted almost an entire week after the wedding. The bartender being included was great and the fact that they were able to set up and tear down everything without requiring family to have jobs at our wedding. We wanted to make sure everyone at the wedding was a guest and could fully enjoy it.
Our day was absolutely perfect and went by in such a blur! If you are thinking of choosing the Wayfarer Farm for your wedding, trust me you will not regret it at all!

Kelly and her amazing assistant Erica provided the most phenomenal wedding experience for my husband and I. Every step of the wedding planning process was seamless and having so much confidence in their team made it so much less stressful. Kelly was so accommodating, especially during the pandemic. I remember not being able to tour the Wayfarer due to the shutdown but she did an amazingly thorough ipad tour. She was super flexible with us trying to figure out our wedding date with coordination of all the wonderful vendors we wanted to work with. I remember watching Kelly’s ipad tour during the lockdown and getting those excited butterflies seeing the venue and knowing it was a special place. The moment my husband and I drove up to the Wayfarer and stepped outside into the arrival area, I could feel the magic of the Wayfarer - all the beautiful old trees, the diversity of the landscape. As I walked around the beautiful property, I just knew it was the place for us. I loved how organized Kelly was with a full timeline and a whole team to support the wedding and tend to the guests. Kelly has so much experience, expertise, knowledge, and to top it all off, her stunning artistic ability with florals sealed the deal for me!! Working with Erica on my floral vision and making all the decorations come to life was a super fun and easy process. The first time I saw my wedding bouquet, is a moment I will never forget. It was the most perfect, swoon worthy bouquet that was exactly like I dreamed, but even better! The way the flowers turned out the day of, was one of the best parts of the day for me. They provided so much support leading up the wedding… I felt like I had a professional wedding planner and day-of coordinator on top of the most talented florist all wrapped into one! Kelly made sure everything ran seamlessly the day of and she handled all the small last minute things with so much compassion and grace - she never missed a beat. My guests gave me so many compliments during the reception and afterwards about the beauty of the venue, the talent of the owner, the skill and kindness of the staff, and what a good time everyone had. My husband and I only look back on that day with love and magic. It was the perfect day and Kelly truly makes a difference in the lives of the couple’s whom she works with to provide them a perfect wedding that they will treasure forever. Endless gratitude to both Kelly and Erica - the dream team :)

I got married at the Wayfarer in July, and it was such a beautiful and low-stress experience. Through COVID postponement and uncertainty, Kelly and her team were communicative and easy to work with. My vision was elegant garden party vibe, and they absolutely nailed it. Kelly has everything you need for the day, which makes the process super seamless, but she is happy to incorporate your ideas, décor, etc. as well. We had some things brought in from off the island and she was accommodating and helpful in figuring out the logistics. I used Erica for the florals, and they were SO stunning. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful they were, too. It was a lovely evening and our guests really enjoyed the night as well. My only complaint is that it went by too quickly! Wish we could do it all again!

While my fiancé and I ended up selecting another venue that was better suited for some of our intangible needs, I felt compelled to write a review based on how fantastic my interactions with Kelly were. It was clear she was willing to go above and beyond to help coordinate my wedding day from afar (we are planning an out of state wedding). I definitely recommend working with The Wayfarer.

Kelly and her team were amazing!! Our whole wedding day went so smooth because of them. My mom and I didn’t stress about a thing. Her supporting staff were so kind and AMAZING. Very grateful for Kelly and this beautiful venue, for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable.

Wow! I still can't get over my wedding and it was all to the staff at The Wayfarer with Whidbey Island Weddings! Kelly and Erica were a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding and especially the day of! They were very accommodating to my vision and I am so grateful for that. I also did my floral through them and it all turned out SO gorgeous, better than I had imagined in my mind. They are extremely organized.

Where to begin, Kelly are Erika are the best! They helped make our wedding everything we wanted. The communication was great from start to finish. I never felt overwhelmed with the planning. Kelly was with me every step of the way. Our wedding was everything we wanted & more! I am very thankful for finding the Wayfarer for our venue.

The Whidbey Island Weddings team made our wedding day more than we ever could have hoped for. In the planning process, they were always there to answer even the smallest of questions and worked with us to create the wedding of our dreams. On the day of, all my fiancé and I had to do was arrive to the Wayfarer, say our vows, and dance the night away with our family and friends! The Whidbey Island Weddings team took care of all the details, which meant we could truly just enjoy our first day together as husband and wife. The venue was beautiful, flowers and decorations were perfect, and our guests loved the lawn games. If you're looking for a romantic, intimate venue, with an amazing team of people to make your dream come to life, the Wayfarer is for you.

We got married at Crockett Farm Sept 2017, and I can't praise the Kelly and her team at whidbey island weddings enough. They are absolute professionals, and the SWEETEST group of people you'll ever work with. They were so amazing to work with, answered all my (millions of) questions in a timely manner, welcomed my input and gave awesome suggestions when needed. Kelly is an amazing florist as well, and makes gorgeous wedding signs for you!! They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly and went exactly how we wanted. They were such advocates for Jon and I on the wedding day, I'm so grateful for Kelly and Erica for having my back, and turning their already gorgeous venue into the the wedding of our dreams!!! :-)

We were married at the Wayfarer and we could not be happier with our wedding! The venue was amazing. Kelly and her team have experience hosting weddings at this venue and it shows. Everything ran like a well oiled machine. From the minute we got to the venue until send off, we didn't have a single care in the world. We had the venue supply flowers as well, and they were simply amazing. I would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a ~100 person wedding at a GREAT farm location. It was so nice to have the ceremony, drinks, dinner, and dancing all at one venue.

My husband and I got married at Crockett Farm on July 15, 2017. Working with Kelly was a great experience and she and her team made sure everything went smoothly the day of. We didn’t have to worry about a thing (which after all of the work involved in planning a wedding was a huge relief!). Every detail was beautiful, especially all of the flowers (which Kelly and her team did as well). I loved my bouquet and it looks gorgeous in all of our wedding photos. We had two coordinators (Marriah and Sarah) and two bartenders (Cesar and Nick) from Kelly’s team who went above and beyond during the event. They were so service-oriented (our guests commented about how sweet they all were), positive, organized and fun. Kelly also had great recommendations for other vendors on the island for catering, makeup, etc. We are so glad we went with Crockett Farm for the beautiful setting, the high level of professionalism, and the attention to detail that made our big day better than we ever could have imagined. I am so grateful to them for ensuring we could relax, celebrate, and enjoy every moment.

My wife and I got married at The Wayfarer on June 24th, 2017, and it was truly a dream come true. We opted to hold the ceremony inside the barn, which was intimate, cozy, and exactly what we envisioned from day one. It happened to be a hot summer day (miraculously given the unpredictable weather), and Kelly’s team provided our guests with fans to keep cool before the ceremony.

Kelly, Erica, and the team created the flower arrangements and did such a beautiful job – our wedding was filled with white and peach/blush colored roses and peonies, and my wife got what she is affectionately calls her “dream bouquet”. The table arrangements were so thoughtfully done and the details around the venue tied everything together. These details gave us the rustic yet elegant vibe we had dreamt of. We extend a big thanks to Erica for capturing our vision perfectly!

The long dinner table we had fallen in love with was nothing short of amazing. Sharing dinner with our closest family and friends was so special, and the table arrangements under the greenery and chandeliers were magical. During the reception, there were a lot of activities available for guests – they enjoyed dancing under the string lights, playing lawn games, toasting s’mores over the fire pit, and ending the night with a sparkler sendoff. Everyone had an amazing time, including us!

Looking back, we truly could not have asked for a more perfect day, in large part thanks to the gorgeous venue, as well as Kelly and her wonderful team. We are grateful for such a memorable and special day at The Wayfarer, and we highly recommend checking out Whidbey Island Weddings if you’re looking for a beautiful venue space and wonderful team!

Whidbey Island Weddings coordinated my daughter’s wedding at the Crockett Barn in June, and we were very happy with how everything turned out. The venue is beautiful, and was made even more so with the special touches planned and provided by Kelly and her team. Kelly was very organized and responsive in all the planning, and anxious to meet the sometimes unconventional requests of the wedding couple. By the time the wedding day arrived we were free to just enjoy the occasion. Erica and Marriah and their staff took care of everything the day of the event, and kept us all calm with their relaxed professionalism. They kept things moving, but always checked with us to make sure we were ready for the next thing. They were responsive to all our needs, packed up everything for us at the end, and even started the drying process for the wedding bouquet. I can’t say enough about how beautiful and enjoyable the wedding was. It was just what the bride and groom wanted, and they had such a good time - just as they should.

Our daughter and new son-in-law got married at Crockett Farms on Whidbey Island on May 28, 2017. We cannot say enough good things about this whole experience. From the first day we looked at the venue and our daughter and (then) fiance fell in love with it, to the end of the wedding day, we were impressed by the beauty and peacefulness of the venue and the professionalism and kindness of Kelly (the venue coordinator).
We were fortunate to have had a beautiful weather day, but we were confident that an indoor alternative was available, if needed. That gave us a chance to relax and enjoy the planning phase. As the planning went along, I emailed and texted Kelly a number of times with questions and she answered immediately. She never made me feel that I was inconveniencing her even though it was often on a weekend that I contacted her. Her assistant Erica was, also, very responsive via email.
Kelly and Erica did a wonderful job orchestrating the rehearsal the afternoon before the wedding. On the wedding day, I was confident that all was going to be taken care of so I was able to spend the day with my daughter and her attendants and my husband was able to relax a bit (as much as a father can at his only daughters’ wedding) and enjoy the pictures the photographer took of him seeing his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress instead of worrying about details.
We loved being able to stay on the venue at the historic Crockett House with our immediate family the weekend of the wedding. It was a great place for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready, also.
Kelly and Erica took care of all the flowers, also, from the bridal bouquet down to the boutonnieres. Kelly talked to our daughter in the months before the wedding and made sure the flowers were what our daughter requested and they were beautiful and bountiful! The day was everything our daughter and son-in-law dreamt it would be.
We can't thank Kelly and crew enough for a wonderful day!!

We were married on September 24th, 2016 at Crockett Farm, one of three venues run by Whidbey Island Weddings. Kelly, Erica, and the whole team were INCREDIBLE. Our entire day felt truly magical. We could not have asked for, nor dreamed of, a better experience. The flower design was gorgeous, the table arrangements were beautiful, and our ceremony space at the driftwood altar on site was absolutely stunning. Every element was perfectly coordinated, and I was able to spend a stress-free morning with my bridesmaids, enjoying the beautiful fall day at the historic Crockett Bed & Breakfast (another perk, just a stone's throw from the venue). Truly, we had the experience of a lifetime. And Kelly and Erica are so nice! Even when I felt like I was being an intolerable diva bride, they assured me that it was okay to be picky and tried to accommodate every request leading up to the wedding. Such a class act--I was so impressed by the service, the attention to detail, and their ability to cultivate an aesthetic that perfectly matched my vision for the day. If I could give them more stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. Whidbey Island Weddings will take care of you--if you are looking to get married on Whidbey, look no further. It's worth every penny. We felt our wedding was the lovely, romantic, elegant event we'd been planning, all thanks to the hard work from the team at Whidbey Island Weddings. So much love.

Cannot rave about Whidbey Island Weddings enough. We chose the Wayfarer for our venue and it was absolutely beautiful. Kelly was amazing, she planned everything. I did not have to worry about a thing. I really had my dream wedding and Kelly and her staff made that happen. I highly recommend Whidbey Island Weddings. All our guests raved about the venue.

We were married last August at Wayfarer Farm. Kelly & her team were an absolute joy to work with. They exceeded our expectations and made our dream wedding come true. Each detail was attended to which made our day stress free and enjoyable. We found Kelly and her team extremely professional as well as personable. Our guests left our wedding saying how it was the best wedding they had been to. Many thanks to Kelly!!!

We had the best time at our wedding at Crockett Farm. Kelly and Erica did an amazing job styling the wedding! They also made the most beautiful bouquets. Everything turned out perfect - I couldn't have asked for a more easy and fun day!

We had our wedding in June at the Crockett Barn in Coupeville and everything went smoothly and was orchestrated perfectly! Our coordinator, Kelly, and her staff did a fantastic job from the first day we met to see the venue! They were on top of it!!! Helpful, proactive and totally thorough! It made planning/hosting our wedding a total breeze! I can't say thank you enough for our beautiful day! We and our guests had a freaking BLAST! And it was absolutely stunning!!! Totally worth it!!!

The wedding venue was so tumblr. Erica is beautiful and super helpful. I love her kind sprit! Do not be fooled by mean reviews this place is the best. The wedding are super vintage and cute. Kelly was also very helpful and nice.

I'm so happy we found the Wayfarer it because it was the perfect venue on every level! The farm is a gorgeous setting and there are so many different beautiful areas for your guests to enjoy.

Kelly is great - she is an experienced professional and has amazing recommendations for great Whidbey vendors and for how weddings work best at her farm. She is also truly prepared for every scenario and is incredibly detail oriented, which is key for planning any big event.

Also, Kelly has impeccable taste and has carefully curated the perfect mix of vintage furniture, props, decor, vases, tableware, etc. for you to create a beautiful and customized backdrop for your special day. My guests kept saying they felt like they were on a movie set because everything was so perfect and beautiful.

As a long-distance bride, Kelly was great to work with - she was available for calls and and very generous with her time. I had a very specific vision for my flowers and decor and Kelly and Erica executed my vision perfectly!! The farm was an even more beautiful version of what I had imagined.

The ladies at the Wayfarer created the most gorgeous backdrop for us to have the celebration of a lifetime. It was all so special-thank you for being fabulous hosts!

My husband and I got married at Crockett Farm this past weekend, and we had a fantastic experience working with Kelly and her team. Leading up to the wedding, they were super helpful in providing resources on the island for lodging, transportation, etc. After all the work of planning, it felt so good to hand things over to them in the days leading up to the wedding, and they absolutely did not disappoint. Our wedding venue looked incredible - the flowers were exactly what we wanted and were beautiful. During the day, our coordinator was calm and collected, and put us completely at ease. The team did a great job of checking in with us to see what we needed all day long, which we really appreciated. Everything went off without a hitch, and we were really able to be present with our guests and one another. I can't thank Kelly and her team enough! I am so glad we decided to get married at Crockett Farm!

We just had our wedding at The Wayfarer and it was truly my fairy tale dream wedding come true. I found the venue on Instagram and immediately fell madly in love with the long table. I figured it was some really out-of-my-reach venue that was booked 3 years in advance, but I was thrilled with the location on Whidbey Island and the availability for me to pick from. We got the last available Saturday of the year, and there were some Friday and Sunday dates open, too.

The overall vibe of the venue is exactly what I wanted, but Kelly was able to take the look and feel, decor and amenities to the next level. Her eye for design, her taste, and her inventory of to-die-for accessories really make everything top notch. She pays attention to every possible detail, and the guests kept commenting on how it was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to.

Kelly is so organized and her venue team make the event run so seamlessly. She's so generous with her time during the planning process, and I am blown away at her floral skills. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, so I gave her some loose guidance and she created the most beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets I have ever seen.

At first I was worried that the venue was more expensive than others, but I realized in the end it's actually not. So much is included in the rental, and Kelly and her team enabled me to be the most relaxed bride possible - both during the planning process and on the day of. I was able to fully relax and enjoy the day without worrying about any detail.

This is the most beautiful and unique venue, and I absolutely hands down recommend you snap it up and book it. You won't regret it! Thank you, Kelly and team! You made our dreams come true!
