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!-

Gorgeous Washington Farm
We have booked Willapa Hills Farm for our August 2019 wedding and so far they have been wonderful. There are multiple sites to chose from for the ceremony and the barn is gorgeous. The area for the bride is amazing as well! -

I am so incredibly happy we chose Willapa Hills Farm for our venue. They were so kind, open, and enthusiastic. I really appreciated how responsive they were to our questions. It was a dream day. If you are looking for a rustic and beautiful setting for your wedding, Willapa Hills Farm is perfect for you. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our day was. -

If you're looking for a rustic, country venue for your wedding - look no further! We were so lucky and fortunate to have had our wedding at this location. My dream was to always have a "country" wedding and it did not fall short. The location is pretty remote, but still accessible for anything you find you need to rent out or be delivered (we had plenty)! The owners are super friendly, easy to work with and were very flexible and accommodating for us to make our dream come true. From hay bales, outdoors, for our ceremony (with the river running behind/along side us) to dancing and eating in the barn. If weather is not on your side, the barn can definitely accommodate to have both ceremony and reception indoors! Surrounded by beautiful scenery for those perfect wedding photos. We highly recommend you stop looking and start planning your special day as we could not have asked for a better one ourselves! -

Beautiful venue, great owners.
The owners are extremely friendly, they were very accommodating and flexible. Even in the midst of the chaos we've lived in the last couple of years. From the time we go to our venue to the time we actually had our event was about two and a half years later. (Rescheduled due to COVID) but it was worth the wait!
A suggestion I have is to advertise the facilities occupancy as closer to 120 people versus 175. -

The Farm is absolutely beautiful, and it's so nice that you have the indoor, and outdoor option for ceremony/reception/etc!
The Farm was just such a beautiful location, secluded- but also close enough to the city the guests had places for lodging close by. We were able to have our ceremony down by in a grass field, overlooking the river, with trees above us. The loft of the barn makes for a stunning reception (or for ceremony too) area, and worked great for our big day.-

Willapa hills
Beautiful venue and unlimited opportunity’s to take beautiful pictures. Overall I’m pleased to how the venue looked on our arrival and the communication with Amy the owner was great. The new bathrooms on location were under construction when a proposal was signed . It was suppose to be done by our wedding date however, it never got done 6 months later. Also I was told the grass patch next to the front of the barn was going to be manicured and able to use on rehearsal dinner day and that was not finished as well. The path to the ceremony down by the river was more dirt than mulch which was a bummer and could of been more “wedding day ready” on our arrival. With that being said, this venue was still worth it and I don’t regret anything. It’s so relaxing and worth the drive for the special day. Getting photos over at the other property across the river was worth it all. If your looking for a peaceful and country setting for a wedding Willapa hills is the place.

Beautiful Venue Horrible Management
Due to COVID we had to reschedule our wedding date. We had already signed a contract with this venue which was an amazing location. However the overall service was the poorest quality of management I’ve ever experienced including multiple vendors helping our wedding commenting on this. When COVID first happen and we tried to reschedule, we were told that we could not reschedule a Saturday because they wanted to keep open for future customers. During this time of COVID they increased their prices which resulted in less favorable attitude towards versus other customers. This including emailing several times over a couple months with no response. We randomly showed just to be able to talk with them. During this visit we were told we could use their cafe downstairs which wasn’t there on our initial booking. This was agreed on verbally but then one day before our wedding it was rescinded. This resulted in last minute changes that we were not prepared for. During set up, the groom had to even change out light bulbs on their lights. Charter buses were limited to certain areas due to their good gravel. Parking had to rearranged because there were no signs directing people which seems like a very simple remedy that this venue can’t seem to figure out. We were constantly being monitored throughout the night. Again this is a beautiful location but please be cautious of the unprofessional and un-accommodating behavior of the venue management.
Oh and 175 cannot fit in this comfortably. -

Terrible People
We tried to get our wedding rescheduled for the same weekend the following
year after seeing the writing on the wall with Covid19, we
were not going to be able to have the wedding we wanted and were under
contract for for July 2020. They say they will work with you, we asked if
they had anyone slotted our weekend in 2021 and they said no. We go to
schedule it and they wanted to charge us an additional $2,000 or we can
reschedule outside of the normal “wedding season” at no additional cost. We
could not have our date the following year because it was going to “cost
them money,” even though they could not provide us the wedding we were
contracted for this year. We tried to get a refund, at least partial, but
they said no. They stated the money was non-refundable per our contract,
but there is a section in the contract that gives the venue an out for “an
act of god,” which Covid 19 is. We did schedule the venue at a reduced
price because they needed the money to finish renovations for the 2020
wedding season. Looking back I should have just paid the full price and
should not have done them a favor fronting that money. All they would have
taken from me then was a deposit which would have been way cheaper than
what they took from me. I do not think they get this was out of our control
too. -
