About

Green Gates is a unique five-acre wedding and events venue located on beautiful Flowing Lake in scenic Snohomish, Washington. Green Gates was once a modest equestrian estate. The original barn has been beautifully transformed into the bridal cottage, and the former covered riding arena in the large barn is now the ballroom reception area. The setting provides a romantic and serene experience with the perfect blend of rustic elegance. The attention to detail in the meticulously maintained gardens as well as the "salvaged and re-purposed" style in all the structures will leave guests awestruck. Stunning photo opportunities are seemingly endless. The wedding lawn has a sweeping view of the sparkling lake, lush greenery, and Cascade Mountains. The comfort provided by the spacious Bridal Cottage and the historic Groom's Cabin will make the day complete. Green Gates can accommodate up to 175 guests.

For those who desire the dramatic departure, how about being whisked away aboard a sea plane?!

Stop looking and BOOK NOW!

The second we walked into the venue when touring before our wedding we knew that we needed to book. The pictures online are beautiful, but you really need to see it yourself to understand what a phenomenal venue this is. Venue aside, the owners are incredible to work with. They work extremely hard to ensure your dream wedding comes to fruition. Every last detail turned out exactly how we had imagined it and there was little to no stress involved; you know that this venue will turn out perfect! Stop your wedding venue search now and BOOK green gates, it is the best decision you'll make along your wedding planning journey!

We had the most magical day at Green Gates!

Green Gates was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! We loved it from our first visit – the rustic, elegant barn, beautiful view and outdoor areas, and especially the unique décor collected over the years. We also loved that Debbie took the time to share bits of the venue’s history and some of the stories behind the decor on our tour – it’s clear how much care has been invested. Leading up to our event, Debbie was quick to answer all of our questions and open to scheduling follow up visits when needed. We also really appreciated that the venue staff takes care of managing tables/chairs and parking, as well as the large collection of signage/table décor/etc (the pinterest closet!) that we were able to use. On the day of our event, Debbie and her staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and it was exactly the setting we’d hoped for. I’m so so happy that we chose Green Gates!

BEST Wedding Venue!!

We got married at Green Gates in June of 2023 and the venue was absolutely perfect!! From the beginning, Debbie and Kerry were so kind, professional, flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to jump in and help with any questions or needs that we had. They work so hard to keep the venue looking stunning and to make all their couples feel comfortable and at home at their venue. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. We got so many compliments on it from all of our guests and vendors. Both our photographer and videographer couldn't stop talking about how many perfect locations there were for photos/video and how photogenic the whole venue was. The property is spacious with beauty everywhere you look. They have a whole closet full of decor and extras that you can borrow for the day to decorate and make your visions come to life. On wedding day, Kerry and Debbie were around to help and answer any questions we (or our vendors) had. The venue has everything you could need for a beautiful, fun wedding that your guests will love. plus it's the best if you want absolutely stunning wedding photos. I really couldn't say enough good things about this venue and the amazing owners. If you're considering booking them for your wedding - do it! You will not regret it! It's the best decision we made for our wedding and we are beyond happy with how perfectly everything turned out!!

The best wedding venue!

My Husband and I got married here on July 1st of 2023. The grounds were STUNNING this time of year with all of the gardens in full bloom and beautiful green grass lawn. This venue is the perfect location for a wedding or get together. Behind the wedding lawn is the perfect backdrop with the cascade mountains and the lake. Debbie and Kerri were so helpful and made our day go smoothly. They are prompt, helpful and thoughtful. They obviously take so much pride in their wedding venue and it's easy to tell they have done this before. They have amazing recommendations and a nice stock of items you can borrow on your special day, including yard games! We could not have asked for a better location for our perfect day. Thank you Kerri and Debbie!

Fantastic venue with amazing staff

My daughter's wedding at Green Gates was wonderful and the owners/staff were a big part of that. They were very accommodating and supportive. The venue is beautiful with so many picturesque spots within the grounds from the lake views to indoor spaces to green grottos. I can't say enough about the owners and how helpful and thoughtful they are. For instance they asked where the brides grandparents would be sitting so they could position an outdoor heater near them. Visit them and you'll see.

Beautiful Lakeside Wedding Venue!

This snohomish wedding venue is a beautiful place for a lakeside wedding. The outdoor space is lovingly landscaped and every aspect of this property is well thought out. Great views, and a perfect semi-indoor space for a reception rain or shine! The venue owners were kind, helpful & offered top shelf service! The photo opportunities at this lakeside wedding venue are plentiful! I'm cant wait to come back and photograph another wedding!

Absolutely fantastic

I would get married here a thousand times over. Everyone completed the venue and kept saying how beautiful it was. I really appreciated their “pay it forward” closet, communication, and the place is full of natural beauty. I didn’t really feel like I needed to bring any of my own decorations because it was already so beautiful!

beautiful venue with amazing owners!

This venue is a gem among the many barn-chic options in Snohomish. Green Gates is a gorgeous venue with good options to accommodate rain or shine. The owners have poured so much love and time into making the property beautiful. They also responded quickly to all our questions during the planning process and were kind and flexible with us throughout! The addition of water views and the personal touches created by the owners elevates this space above all the rest.

Green Gates at Flowing Lake is by far our FAVORITE venue. The greenery that surrounds the handcrafted cabins and barn offer breathtaking opportunities for photographs. Looking out onto the water during the wedding ceremony is extremely powerful. The staff is beyond accommodating and kind and offers couples many different options for decor. It's a Pinterest paradise! Not to mention, who wouldn't want the option to formally exit their wedding in a seaplane? So cool!
