Highly Recommend!

Recently had our wedding at Pickering Barn and the venue staff are amazing. They are highly responsive, flexible, and very friendly. I appreciated the ability to have a blank canvas to create my dream wedding venue, but honestly, the venue speaks for itself. Pickering barn is such a large venue and allowed our guests to feel comfortable with the open and inviting space.

Affordable and Beautiful Venue

Pickering Barn in Issaquah was the perfect venue for our wedding! The space is absolutely beautiful and ideal for photos. The ceremony area felt like a botanical garden, and it worked wonderfully for our large wedding. Plus, being able to get married in our hometown made it even more special.

The staff was responsive, helpful, and made the planning process easy by providing tons of detailed information about the venue. Their list of preferred vendors was also a fantastic resource, helping us find trusted professionals. On top of all that, it was an affordable option without sacrificing quality. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice and highly recommend Pickering Barn!

Craig & Nolf Wedding

There was only 4 hours before the ceremony to decorate and 1.5 hours afterwards to clean up. Without the very much appreciated help from family and various friends and neighbors, it never would have come together as well as it did. As the mother-of-the-groom and wedding coordinator, I'm proud of what was accomplished and never so tired in my life.
That said, the Pickering Barn onsite staff was wonderful. They came to our aid many times and were very helpful. It was a beautiful venue, made more so by the luck of the September weather. We were able to have the ceremony outside at the gazebo and it was beautiful. The inside spaces are quite large and we had around 50 guests. I was worried that we would disappear in the space. But that was not the case. In fact, we had dancing in the barn and there were no decoration.s It looked great and was lots of fun.
