Welcome to Owl & Olive!

Located 45 minutes from Olympia, Owl & Olive is nestled in the Willapa Hills on the banks of the upper Chehalis River. The heart of Owl and Olive is our historic gambrel barn. Built in 1936, the barn provides a beautiful and unique setting to celebrate your special day with family and friends. The warmth of natural old growth cedar and fir planks and timbers surround you. The vaulted ceiling soars overhead nearly 40′ to the inside of the cupolas. Tasteful accent lighting illuminates the rafters while three rustic barn-sized chandeliers and complimentary bistro lights combine to provide a warm glow on the gathering space below during both daytime and evening activities.

The natural surroundings of Owl & Olive is equally as beautiful as the historic barn. The barn itself and our two primary outside ceremony sites are perched on the banks of the upper Chehalis River. The venue grounds are a combination of landscaped gardens, wide-open pasture, and wild woodlands. From almost any location, the view will remind you of how blessed we are to live in the pacific northwest.

Nothing short of amazing

What can I say besides "exceptional"? My husband and I got married at the Owl and Olive venue on May 27th and Amy and Stephen were nothing short of amazing.

We paid for the two day rental package and had our rehearsal dinner there, catered by Owl and Olive themselves! The rehearsal dinner food was delicious, and they showed so much attention and care to our family and friends. They were easy to communicate with, and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had.

The day of the ceremony, Amy worked fantastically with my coordinator and it all went off without a hitch. The outdoor ceremony site is gorgeous and everything we dreamed of. Of course, the inside of the old barn where we had our reception is stunning. Their permanent string lighting creates a warm, welcoming feeling and we both felt "at home". There was little need for "decoration" besides some centerpieces and florals, because the grounds and barn are just that pretty.

The grounds were lovely, full of lush grass, shady trees, and flowers. It was well kept and tidy; no doubt a labor of love from the owners.

The venue's bridal suite also doubles as the honeymoon suite which they offer for the night of the ceremony. We took advantage of the convenient location and stayed the night, it was such a relaxing night (after a busy and hectic day!) listening to the sounds of the river.

Amy and Stephen did everything in their power to make sure our big day was as perfect as possible, and we can't thank them enough for it!

Absolutely Amazing Day!

Steven and Amy are fantastic hosts and it truly shows how much they value their venue. The barn is gorgeous, the cafe is amazing and the property is fantastic! Our wedding in the fall was beautiful, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to their attentiveness to their venue, and their response times for any and all questions that we had were super quick! The catering through Table 47 was delicious! If you are planning a wedding or any event, I highly recommend Owl & Olive!
