Joel and I were married at the Whidbey Wayfarer farm in August of 2011. We first came to the farm in the fall of 2010 and knew instantly that it was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. We fell in love with the ambiance and style of the farm - the chandeliers hanging from the trees, the string lights draped near the white-washed barns, the miss-matched chairs and china set up on the farm tables, and the gorgeous orchard.
The beauty of the farm was apparent from the first time we saw it, and
planning the wedding was quite simple since we utilized the charm the farm had to offer. It really is all the details that make the Wayfarer such a
unique setting. The collection of vintage props we had to choose from is astonishing - frames and mirrors, bicycles, record players playing our
favorite songs, typewriters, and the turquoise pick-up truck which we used
for our photo shoot. Our guests played croquet in the field while sipping Mojitos. It was perfect.
When it came to the actually planning of the day Kelly, the farm owner and
planner, was wonderful. Joel and I wanted to keep things simple, but
wanted every detail to be beautiful and unique. We wanted our guests to
feel at ease and be able to enjoy the celebration. We have always loved
Whidbey Island for its whimsical feel and the organic way of living. We
wanted everything at our event to be locally sourced, and Kelly's contacts
with vendors on the Island made that quite easy. She helped arrange it all
- our organic caterer, the locally made beer, and we were lucky enough to hand pick our flowers. She even put the bouquets together! She loves what she does and it shows in the final result - a beautiful, romantic,
elegant, perfect wedding. Not a detail went unplanned so on our actual
wedding day we could just relax and have fun.
Thank you to Rich and Kelly for sharing your beautiful farm with our
friends and family. We will forever have the memories of the most magical
wedding at the Wayfarer.
