The Fox Farm Garden Celebration

Join Us For The Most Memorable Celebration Of Your Life… Your Wedding Day.

The private gardens and Lavender fields of
Fox Farm are located on Vashon Island, a scenic 15-minute ferry ride from either Seattle or Tacoma

When You Arrive On The Island, You Are Within Minutes Of Fox Farm.

This beautiful island has a rich history of exquisite private gardens, northwest artists, wineries, organic farms, and a thriving 10-year-old lavender industry.  The town of Vashon offers several charming boutiques and enjoyable restaurants only a few minutes
from the farm.

The Grounds Of Fox Farm Lavender Are Enchanting….

As guests arrive through the large rose trellis gates of the farm, the bride can welcome her party, or watch discreetly from the main Garden House.  Guests may gather in the perennial garden, enjoying the sights and fragrances of our wide variety of plantings, and the inspiring sight of the lavender field. Each month of the summer season offers a wide variety of colorful and fragrant flowers in bloom.  You will need very little to enhance the beauty or the memory of your special day.

Let The Wedding Begin

We have several venues for your ceremony.  We will work with you to choose the ideal location.  May we suggest… the intimacy of the perennial garden, the quiet beauty of the lush green meadow, or the grand promenade down an aisle of lavender to your waiting groom.  From small party to grand gala, we have seven acres of beautiful gardens, meadows and lavender fields to accommodate your celebration.

The Reception

From a formal seated dinner for 150 guests, to an intimate wedding brunch for 30, the main lawn area surrounded by gardens and the lavender field is the ideal reception location.  The reception area is perfectly sited near the Garden House deck, allowing convenient setup for musicians.

Facilities

For the Bride, the main Garden House is provided.  A welcoming living room, a private dressing room, and one full and one half bathroom are provided for the bride, her attendants and the bride’s immediate family use.

For the Groom, the Lavender Drying Cottage is provided for changing
and freshening up.

For your Caterer, an area discreetly located behind the main Garden House is convenient to serve the reception area and receive deliveries from a separate
back gate.

No sound equipment is allowed on Fox Farm. Out of courtesy to our neighbors and in keeping with the beauty of our natural environment, only acoustic music is permitted on Fox Farm.

There are no overnight accommodations available on Fox Farm.
