It is hard to sum up how perfect our wedding at The Wayfarer was. We dreamed of a "farm" venue that didn't scream "big red barn" and this was it. Rolling lawn, perfect ceremony location, well appointed getting ready suites, and the dream dinner table under the trees. The progression of our day moved throughout the property and felt both dynamic and intimate.
The perfection of the property aside, Kelly and her team were fantastic to work with. Kelly gets down to business, has EVERY detail covered, and kept the day flowing seamlessly. They offer a full suite of rentals, some of which we used and some that we did not (because I had a very specific vision). Kelly let us bring in our own decor items but we could have easily worked with her to rent everything from glassware and plate ware to doing floral design. I did love that the venue rental fee included seating for the welcome hour, the cocktail hour, the dinner tables and chairs.
I honestly couldn't think of one thing that I would change, we would choose The Wayfarer and Kelly's team over and over again if we had the chance.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.
