"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.

"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

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 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.

"My husband and I were touched to see how much care was put in each and every corner of the venue... I think what makes Starlight Meadows such an incredible place is how personal everything is, from the moment we first made contact with Connie, to our first steps into the venue, and even after we finished..." -Tammy T., Bride

On a crisp October Day in 2020 we had our first Starlight Meadows Photo Day. Due to the pandemic the wedding plans of so many couples were crushed due to restrictions for group gatherings. We wanted to help, and invited couples for a pre-styled photo shoot, and let the magic of the meadows do the rest. Tammy and her husband were delightful. Their wedding plans were cancelled twice due to the pandemic. They lost all their deposits and after months of stress, gave up on their big 2020 wedding dreams. We are so glad to see their love and joy for each other after their wedding heartache. Photographs courtesy of Brittney Farrell, @Brittney Anne Photography.

“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. Photos by www.BrittneyHyatt.com.

"Thank you for giving me an opportunity to have my memories captured! The flowers and setting were beautiful. I would love to have them for my wedding ." -Nguyen V., Bride to Be

Nguyen and her fiancé' Dan were so bubbly and fun we couldn't stop taking pictures! They participated in our pre-styled Photo Day to celebrate their recent engagement. We wish them a lifetime of happiness! Photographs courtesy of Brittney Farrell, @Brittney Anne Photography. Floral arch and bouquet designed by Ivy and Birch Design.

"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

Our first wedding couple, Miles and Johanna were so wonderful! They asked to use our property for their wedding before we had tamed the landscape. They offered to help us beautify the barn meadow, cottage yard and new parking area, and brought friends and family to create a powerhouse effort! To thank them, we catered a small party in the meadow a month before their wedding to relax and enjoy the fruit of their labors.

"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." -L.
