Woodinville Lavender — Local services in Woodinville

We LOVED Woodinville Lavender and working with Tom, the owner. We planned our WA wedding from Southern California and found Woodinville Lavender about 7 months before what would turn out to be our wedding date. The process started by hopping onto a Zoom call with Tom where he showed us so many pictures and examples of weddings past. He provided dates the venue was available and showed us pictures of his lavender farm from that date in years past to show us the most accurate representation of what we would get on our wedding day. He answered all of our questions with ease and we booked without ever visiting the venue, that's how much we trusted him! We were able to meet up with Tom at the venue in person in February where he walked us through the grounds, showed us our possibilities of where ceremony and reception would take place, and assured me (the born and raised Southern Californian) there was a rain plan and what it would entail. Like most brides, I imagined sun on my summer wedding day, but I walked away from that meeting feeling great about the rain plan if we needed to enact it.

Tom was incredibly communicative and accommodating. When we were struggling to find certain vendors and his recommended list was out of our budget, he went out of his way to brainstorm some more vendors he worked with that was within our budget and gave us details on how they were when he worked with them in weddings past.

Truly, Tom's lengthy experience in the wedding industry is such a bonus to his beautiful venue. It put us at ease throughout the process and day of that he knew what he was doing and that we could trust him fully (which is priceless when it comes to vendors).

We also forgot to grab a sentimental item and reached out to him a few weeks after the wedding to see if we happened to have left it at the venue. He found it and shipped it back to us, no charge, no questions asked.

In summary, the venue is incredible, but Tom...

We had the most incredible wedding at Woodinville Lavender, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tom, the venue owner and our day-of coordinator.

The venue is breathtaking—photos don’t even do it justice! But what really made our day special was Tom’s above-and-beyond support. When a heatwave was forecasted, Tom immediately helped us arrange fans to keep our guests comfortable. His quick thinking and attention to detail were just amazing.

We booked the venue eight months in advance and had two in-person meetings plus a final rehearsal. Throughout the process, Tom was always there for us, offering help and finding solutions to any challenges. On the big day, he made sure our decor was laid out perfectly, even helping move flower arrangements and the arbor. The week-of, he and his helpers created small lavender bundles for us as guest favors using the fresh lavender credit he provided. He also thoughtfully asked if I wanted to assign another point of contact so I could relax, but I chose to stay involved. Tom respected that and only came to me when absolutely necessary, keeping everything calm and fun.

Our family raved about how the day felt like a scene from a beautiful romantic movie. We’d heard stories of things going wrong at weddings, but thanks to Tom and his team, ours was perfect. Even when plans change, having a vendor like Tom who can handle anything means you’re in great hands.

Tom’s background as a mechanical engineer (he used to build rockets!) shines through in his meticulous planning. We feel so lucky to have worked with him and his family team at Woodinville Lavender. We highly recommend this beautiful venue and Tom’s fantastic coordination...

Picking the venue was the first thing I accomplished in wedding planning. I really wanted to evoke the lavender fields of Provence, France, and I'm so glad I discovered Tom's gorgeous farm in Woodinville. It was the perfect setting! Tom and his wife tend to the lavender farm themselves, and the pride they have shows in the beauty of their landscape. All the guests loved the lavender gardens and the farm grounds. The children at the wedding had a great time playing outside.

As for planning with Tom, I did everything from out of town as the venue was a destination for me. He was easily reachable by email or phone. He's very organized and will help the couple keep track of meetings and payment schedules. He was very flexible with us mailing checks a couple days after the deadline -- we let him know by email to expect it within a few days, and he'll confirm. He was the conductor that helped organize my great orchestra of vendors. He reviewed some of my rental invoices and helped me save money by correcting the tax rate to the lower Redmond percentage on one of our rental orders (which also helped me save on my catering order!). A few other kind gestures he did was store our wine purchased for the reception several weeks in advance and keep some wedding decor at the farm for buyers to pick up after the fact. All in all, Tom and his gorgeous lavender fields are excellent choices for a couple looking for a small, more intimate wedding venue (guest max is...
