We recently used Belle & Barn for a fall sports banquet. The venue was perfect. We used the small kitchen area to serve dinner to coaches and a dessert bar to the players. It was the perfect size for our needs. Carrie was so easy to work with and helped make our vision happen. And even though it was late fall, we were plenty warm. The inside decor is beautiful and we really didn’t have to add any of our own decorations because what is there was perfect. We look forward to using Belle & Barn again in the future!

The venue was way better than expected. It was beautiful and had a place for all your needs. The waterfall is amazing as well as the arbor area. I really could not imagine we would have ever found a place that was so amazing. Everyone that attended our son’s wedding is really still talking about how amazing the wedding was along with the serene setting. I feel like this place is worth every penny spent. If you are looking for a venue you must check them out. It does not disappoint. We got some beautiful pictures and everyone had a fantastic time. They literally had everything you could need. The barn is were after the wedding and dinner everyone hung out. It is a completely magical place. The owners and their family made sure we had everything we needed. The bride and groom sweets were beautifully decorated and a super sweet place for the parties to get ready for the big day. A lot of fun was had that day. Thank you Legacy Farms for making memories like this. You can obviously tell on there side that this is a labor of love. If I need a venue again I will definitely be booking them again. Thanks so much for this beautiful setting for our wedding

Foxglove was truly a slice of PNW paradise. The house was beautiful and tucked into the trees. The venue itself was gorgeous and romantic, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to watch my friends get married. Plus, there’s horses! Could not recommend staying here more.
