About
Welcome to Wisteria Gardens, a wedding venue located in Anacortes, Washington! Our venue sits on 10 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds amidst several unique outbuildings. It is a private setting which makes your event all yours!
Facilties and Capacity
The 5,000 sf event barn is elegantly rustic with string lights and chandeliers. It holds the dressing room for the bride which was remodeled in 2020, indoor men's and women's restrooms, kitchen prep and cleanup areas and store room full of decorations accessible to you. We have a long list of amenities included in our rate along with A/V equipment and a new addition for 2025, the "Pickle Jar" photo booth.
The silo structure is the perfect spot for beverage service and social gathering with a propane fire pit nearby.
Our log cabin was built from timber off the property and is the "man cave" for the groom and his groomsmen to hang out in before the ceremony.
Additionally, there is a greenhouse turned into children's playhouse to entertain even the smallest guests. And barnyard chickens and Scottish Highland cows that love having company.
Services Offered
We can accommodate up to 200 guests, have parking on site and provide all the set up and break down of our tables and chairs as well as removal of garbage/recycling and assistance with post event clean up. Our goal is to allow you the opportunity to fully enjoy your day and relieve you of some stress and manual labor.
Find us just southeast of downtown Anacortes, two minutes off of highway 20 heading toward Whidbey Island.
We look forward to talking with you soon about your special event! For a free consultation, please contact us. Thank you!

Wisteria Gardens made our wedding day special
Our wedding at Wisteria Gardens was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning, with beautiful grounds and an incredible atmosphere that made our day feel truly magical. Every corner of the property created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos.
A huge thank you to Heather and Mike for being so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our day went smoothly. Their professionalism and attention to detail made everything so much less stressful, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Amazing Venue!
Our wedding at Wisteria Gardens was unforgettable! The wisteria we got married under was gorgeous and the grounds are beautiful. Heather and Mike are the most helpful and kind venue owners. Heather was easy to communicate with and made stressful situations feel like a breeze. They have a collection of decorations and other items at this venue for couples to use, so this was a money saver for us! Heather also has a photo booth system she rents for events, which is reasonably priced and was a highlight of our wedding. The highland cows at happy hour were another huge hit! It's been a few weeks since we got married, but our guests keep talking about how the venue was the perfect spot. I would highly recommend choosing Wisteria Gardens for your event!

Amazing wedding venue!!
Having our wedding at Wisteria Gardens was an amazing experience. All of our wants and expectations were met beyond what we could have asked for! We loved the rustic barn look, decorations to borrow, the cows, and photobooth option (and our guests loved it as well)! Heather was an incredible host and always responsive and accommodating to our questions and needs leading up to and at our wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience and Wisteria Gardens was a huge part of what made our day so special!

Have your event here, you won't regret it!
I reached out to multiple venues throughout the Skagit Valley for an anniversary party. Heather at Wisteria was the only one who provided me with different pricing options to really tailor it for our event. I visited the property and it was a dream-very secluded, quiet, large enough for our party, and of course, the cows were a big hit. It was missing the beautiful open sunset views I was hoping for, but my husband reminded me that even in May, you don't know what you're going to get for weather. Wisteria was going to be a beautiful venue whether we were outside or forced inside.
The decor room is a huge bonus too-as someone who sourced my own decorations for the initial wedding, I was incredibly relieved to have options ready and available to me without extra work.
Heather and Mike were phenomenal to work with. They communicated well, were flexible with our crazy schedules and requests, had the tables and chairs set up correctly and made tear down/clean up very easy. They set up the yard games and had hay out for our guests to feed the cows, both of which were a real hit. Truly cannot recommend them enough!

Amazing venue with great service
We absolutely LOVED our wedding at Wisteria Gardens! The venue is fabulous, with lots of variety in scenery and layout. Heather and Mike helped us develop a vision for our wedding day and make it a reality. They were communicative, flexible, and open to our ideas and asks. The venue even has a large store room with a wide selection of decor and signs that are available for use! We were so grateful to have such a great venue team to entrust the big day to. Couples are in great hands at Wisteria Gardens!

Wedding 7/23/22
Let's start by saying this venue had absolutely everything we wanted for our wedding day. However, that wasn't the only reason we decided to choose Wisteria Gardens as our venue. We chose it because the owners Heather and Mike made us feel 100% comfortable. They are so kind and professional. They were patient with us on our initial walk through and allowed us extra time to walk and discuss privately without pressure to make a decision. We are so happy we decided to have our wedding at Wisteria Gardens. Their communication is excellent, and they assisted us as needed throughout the wedding planning process. The venue also has a large selection of available decorations which we could access and use as needed.
Heather and Mike were wonderful throughout the process and even more wonderful during the wedding weekend. At the rehearsal they were available to help orient us and answer questions. On the wedding day they provided excellent day of services like setting up chairs and tables and had special touches like a welcome sign in the bridal sweet and a special gift which brought me to tears when we opened it the next day. So thoughtful!
Our only comment would be about our bartender who we chose from the venue's recommended list. We selected Emily Mriglot with EmRY Event Services. She unfortunately "double booked" us and did not show up to our event. A replacement bartender was able to come but our guests had to wait for a short while after the ceremony until drinks were served.
100% recommend the venue but would choose a different bartender from their preferred list.

Absolutely a-mazing
Heather and Mike are absolutely amazing, they answered every question as quickly as one could hope for and they were so accommodating to needs of us and our help we had cooking and helping out. If we had to do it again we would definitely still choose Wisteria Gardens

Outstanding
We came and visited the property right before COVID and we fell in love right away, I knew it was the place we would say “I do” at as soon as I walked into the barn. It took our breath away. Heather and Mike are amazing owners, they really make you feel like family with their hospitality. Then during COVID Heather was on top of it all with keeping us informed of the changes or precautions we might have to make, but she kept us informed with everything! When one of our vendors wanted to come tour the venue, Heather was always so welcoming about it! They helped make our big day special from the time we pulled in at 9am they were right there to greet us, till we pulled out of the driveway at 10pm. I’m sad our special day at Wisteria Gardens LLC is done, but can’t wait to attend an event or hold another one there because we will be back. Thank you for everything Heather and Mike ❤️
