Weddings on the Farm

​

Courter Country  Farm is the perfect location for your Pacific Northwest outdoor wedding. The sun reflecting off Barker Creek and the fragrances of the farm flowers, create the perfect surroundings for your special day!  Majestic trees are perfect for creating stunning wedding photos.  Following your ceremony, you and your guests can stroll the farm and  explore the happenings of a real flower farm. 

The farm is equipped with two separate air-conditioned areas for getting ready; a lovely turn of the century homestead and our home saloon complete with a pool table.  Having more than 3 bridesmaids? We recommend renting our larger farmhouse for the weekend. It sleeps 8 people and there are plenty of get-ready spaces for hair and make-up. 

Twenty wooded acres at the end of the dirt road provide plenty of privacy yet, we are only minutes to town for those last-minute needs.

​

Florals from the Farm

Part of what makes weddings on Courter Country Farm so magical are the flowers grown here. From lushious roses to magnificent sunflowers, they are sure to bring elegance and charm to your wedding day. Upon booking your wedding with us, we will create a floral plan to meet your needs and budget. DIY buckets of florals are offered at wholesale rates and full service florals start at $1500.

Music

Besides the natural sounds of the countryside, both live and recorded music is allowable and encouraged. We provide speakers, you provide the DJ or band. Please note limited power is available for high power equipment. Music ends by 9:30pm. Wi-fi is not dependable so bring a pre-recorded playlist.
