We're not in the wedding business...
We're in the joy business!
​
Here's what our clients say...


"So grateful for this amazing venue.  Venue owner Connie is so responsive, creative, organized, and accommodating. Connie & Brick have worked so incredibly hard to landscape the area and beautify it. And the massive tent is so great! Perfect for rain or shine. Whether you're going for a rustic farm look, romantic Victorian look, or Boho, this place can transform into whatever your vision is thanks to Starlight Meadows' collection of décor and accessories."
Stephanie H., Bride
Stephanie and Buck's wedding was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: playful, joyful, thoughtful, beautiful, loving, and family-oriented.  Their choices for flowers, ambiance and unique way of mixing casual vibes with simple elegance was breathtaking and with 2 moms in the flower business,  how could it be anything but magical?

"We had our wedding at Starlight Meadows and it was everything we could have asked for!  Connie and Brick are such amazing hosts!  Connie was a huge help to us.  She is fantastic at what she does and has such a huge heart.  We recommend Starlight Meadows to anyone looking for a beautiful location for a wedding!" - Amy K., Bride
,Helping to create Brad and Amy's dream micro wedding was a gift from heaven.  The joy that surrounded the planning and execution of their event gave everyone involved a lift.  The size of their group (28 guests) allowed us to get really creative and adventurous with special details.  We created a "Love and Light Tent" to enhance the dining experience, recommended the most wonderful florist who created the fairy tale flower arch and had fun giving our patio some "lavender love" to make every inch of our property a magical place to make memories and take gorgeous pictures in.  Flowers by Flori, photos by Alisha Trahms Photography and BrookeAndersonPhotography.

"This was the most incredible venue for our wedding! Our guests loved it as well. Connie went above and beyond to help make our day magical! I can’t recommend them enough!" Dakota R., Bride
Working with Dakota and Colin was a delight!  They were so in tune and loving with each other at every step of the planning process:  it was beautiful to see.  Even when their big day provided twists and turns at 94 degrees, their love and resourcefulness found a way to make the very best of the day.  We loved how creative, positive and playful they were with each other, and were honored they chose our meadows to celebrate their love .   Cheers to a beautiful and very "cool" couple!

"Starlight Meadows is an absolutely beautiful and wonderful place to have weddings or any occasion. We felt so blessed to be there at our son's wedding. In my 80 plus years, and having been to many weddings, this was the most beautiful place I can imagine. I would recommend it to anybody for the perfect wedding of their lives."

and it really was the perfect setting. All our family
​had the best time and loved it! " 
  -Brook A., Bride
Brooke and Josh held a small Spring ceremony in the San Juan Islands for their wedding, and hosted a beautiful beach-inspired reception for friends and family at Starlight Meadows several months later.  We helped them create a grand entrance riding in our 1918 Dodge that surprised and delighted guests. (Can't you just hear the "Awoooga" horn as they came up the hill?)  The warm and sunny day created the perfect mood for the love and laughter of friends and family to fully celebrate their union.  Brooke and Josh, thank you for bringing the sparkle of your love to our magical meadows!

"​Our wedding day at Starlight Meadows came together so beautifully. It was so fun to celebrate there after watching the venue itself grow from a dream into a reality, and we will be forever grateful that we got to be a part of it! The Baldwin family did so much to help us develop and execute our vision. It was amazing to see the ideas in our heads materialize in detail on the big day. We said our vows beneath a lovely tree with sunlight filtering through the leaves and enjoyed a celebration worthy of our decade of love with all of our friends and family around us. The cottage was the perfect addition as a “home base” for us and our wedding party to gather and prepare the night before and relax the night after. Starlight Meadows is a truly magical place!" -Kaitlyn N., Bride
The wedding of Kaitlyn and Chris was one for the books.  These  dear family friends met in high school, weathered the trauma of a serious illness, graduated college together, and over this 10-year span developed a lasting love and the most delightful circle of friends.  Both families jumped into creating this event with joy, dedication, and even hard labor to help us install over 300 flowers and shrubs for our first wedding season. Their love and laughter filled our meadows and our hearts to the very brim.  How lucky we are to be chosen to host this beautiful union!

  My husband and I got married at Starlight Meadows and it was such a wonderful experience. We had a small ceremony of about twenty people. Connie was so responsive and incredibly helpful during the planning process. She has a beautiful eye for decorating. Of course it rained and Connie and Brick saved the day, making their outdoor venue suitable to continue on. We were able to use their 1918 Dodge Roadster, the beautiful barn and the whimsical lanterns for photos. Connie supplied most of the decorations and was so sweet. She really has a gift and truly cares about making your day special. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a more intimate ceremony! I'm incredibly happy with our experience here!
-Amanda S., Bride
Amanda and Sean are such a special couple and were our first official elopement ceremony!  Amanda was so sweet and deserving of a magical day; we couldn't believe the sun early in the day disappeared into a downpour by 5pm.  She really wanted her ceremony in front of Starlight Barn instead of under a tent, so my handy husband Brick created a last-minute rustic backdrop INSIDE the barn so they could stay dry while family watched from under the safety of a tent.  With the help of a wonderful Maid of Honor who held the umbrella above them in-between photos, and a talented photographer, they made the most of the day and still had many beautiful photos to show for their 3 hours at Starlight Meadows.  Their love and resiliency filled the afternoon meadow with joy and laughter; a true demonstration of how how they light up anyone who meets them, and that their future together is bright.
"The venue is beautiful with so much charming detail. Everywhere you look there’s a place for a beautiful photo.  We rented two of their vintage cars, one of which drove me up to the aisle to meet my groom! They were great crowd pleasers and made for beautiful photos! And aside from this beautiful and unique venue, you also get Connie. Everything that makes Starlight Meadows amazing starts with her. All of the love and passion she put into her work really shined on our big day.  Our families are still talking about how beautiful and unique it was." 
Jill T., Bride
Jill and Jon are a light and love-filled couple who live out of state and chose Starlight Meadows for their "destination wedding" for 20 guests.  It was an honor, but secretly we wondered if our sweet and rustic meadows could deliver on the expectations of a destination wedding, but we were determined to deliver.  After the contract was signed, Jill told me they wanted a "Downton Abby" theme; how does one turn a 60' x 30" tent into a Lounge and Dining space reminiscent of an Edwardian English Manor?  Their pictures show the incredible results; Jill said her "knees buckled" when she saw what we created. My husband Brick and I had the time of our lives making Jill and Jon's vision  come to life.  Photos by Rebecca Anne Photography.

"Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful venue and for all of your help! My flowers were everything I dreamed of because of you and Liane!"  Amy, Bride
Joseph and Amy are such a fun couple; their love and passion was easy for all to see.  They'd been together for years, and Joseph wanted to do something big for Amy after the pandemic.  He approached Starlight Meadows asking if he could throw a "surprise" wedding for her...and of course we were all in!  Joseph changed his mind and eventually Amy was brought into the planning process; her eye for beauty and style is obvious.  We are glad they chose us and took time from their busy lives to fully celebrate their union.

"When we first stepped foot on Connie and Brick’s property, we were in awe.  It was truly magical with the sound of the birds chirping and the lush green trees quietly swaying in the wind. We knew it was the perfect place to say "I do". The Baldwins are truly incredible and created the perfect wedding for us; every step of the way they went above and beyond, wanting our special day to be everything we could have dreamed of and more. Connie is extremely talented and creative - she has a heart of gold and made our experience that much more unique working alongside her and realizing our vision together."

-Johanna B., Bride
Johanna and Miles were the first couple married at Starlight Meadows. We thank our lucky stars they chose our property for their wedding!  They loved the setting before even WE knew how beautiful it could be. Along with their family and friends, they worked beside us to tame and revitalize  the landscape, making everything shine with the same possibilities they see in each other. Their love brought the sun out, lit the event up, filled our hearts, and christened our property's first event in the most beautiful way.  Photographs courtesy of Chris Huynh, www.MiloHuynhMedia.com

“There is nothing we would change about our wedding day. Everything was gorgeous and Starlight Meadows captured the exact atmosphere we had imagined. It showcased the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest while holding the intimate ambience of a backyard wedding. The amenities, the venue hosts, the wildflowers -- everything was perfect.” -Michaela P., Bride
Michaela and Jake were so joyful about their union...even during a record-breaking heat wave.  Their love brought fresh air, energy, and joy to all who attended.  We've known Michaela since she was 2 years old and loved seeing her shine so beautifully on this special day.  It was truly a family affair with sister in law Liane (@IvyandBirchDesign) creating wildflower explosions and styling the reception, and others helping to source the glorious  colored vintage goblets that sparkled at every table.  After Michaela's 3 brothers took a turn on the dance floor with her, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

"Starlight Meadows was a magical find!  It is a beautiful, peaceful, private country setting.  Connie and the staff at Starlight Meadows gave us the feeling it was truly an honor to host my son's wedding.  They worked with us on every detail in making the most perfect wedding day." -Ellen N., Mother of the Groom

"We recently attended a musical event at Starlight Meadows. It is a charming venue with so many special touches. You can see the care that has gone into creating a warm and welcoming environment. It is the perfect location in the heart of Mill Creek, but feels like you are away from it all! We look forward to more events there!"  -Michele R., Concert Attendee
2020 was a lonely year for many of us, and in October we decided to experiment with having a few friends over for a socially-distanced outdoor concert on the Starlight Meadows property.  You won't see a big crowd as each family was 10-20 ft apart, but we managed to have fun anyway.  Thanks to the talented Sundae & Mr. Goessl for their jazzy vintage tunes!

"Starlight Meadows was the perfect setting for the Author's Retreat I hosted. Conveniently located while also feeling like a world of its own, the property, atmosphere, and TLC from the fabulous hosts, Connie and Brick, created the perfect backdrop for busy music teachers to gather, regroup, collaborate, and renew before heading into a busy school year. With enough space to spread out while still maintaining the coziness that makes retreats so special, this was the magical place that became our home-away-from-home for three days."
