Your Rustic Wedding & Event Venue in Yelm, WA
We are proud to steward a historic 1901 barn that has been lovingly restored into a premier venue for weddings and special events. Originally part of a sprawling 3,000-acre farmstead, our property features a meticulously preserved rustic barn, beautifully landscaped grounds, and modern amenities that create the perfect backdrop for memorable celebrations. Our family has been dedicated to preserving this landmark since 1994, first as a horse training facility and now as a venue that hosts weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings. We offer 18-hour rental access with flexible scheduling options, including off-season availability upon request. Our experienced team provides personalized support, including on-site staff and parking assistance, to ensure seamless event execution.

With a catering kitchen, accessible restrooms, and outdoor fire pit, we combine historic charm with contemporary functionality. Active military members receive a 15% discount as our way of honoring service. Our commitment to quality was recognized through our successful horse training business, which operated until 2016, and now continues through our event hosting. We maintain the property's historical integrity while providing modern comforts, creating spaces that balance rustic elegance with practical convenience. Our location in Yelm, Washington offers both scenic beauty and convenient accessibility for guests. We welcome visitors to tour our facilities and experience firsthand how we can help create lasting memories for your special occasion.
