Carleton Farm

Carleton Farm offers a countryside setting for weddings and other private celebrations in Lake Stevens, Washington. Its principal event space is a timber wedding barn, paired with a courtyard, covered ceremony deck and patio. The farm’s open views across fields and towards the surrounding hills give couples a rural backdrop while keeping the venue within reach of Everett and the Seattle area.

The barn has high ceilings, natural wood finishes and café-style lighting. A private preparation room with its own bathroom is available for the bride, while a separate building provides a room for the groom. Indoor restrooms serve guests, and the connected patio gives people extra room to gather, dance or enjoy the grounds.

The venue can accommodate different ceremony and reception arrangements. In summer, couples can hold an outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor and outdoor reception for up to 200 guests. An indoor ceremony and reception can host up to 160. Tables and chairs are available in packages sized for different guest numbers, and organisers can bring their own suppliers or choose from the venue’s recommended contacts. Beer and wine are permitted subject to the required arrangements.

The farm is also home to seasonal family activities and a farm market, but its barn and grounds provide a dedicated place for organisers to host weddings, birthdays and other gatherings. October is reserved for the farm’s annual autumn activities, so planners should check availability and discuss dates directly with the venue. Carleton Farm is a practical option for couples and event planners seeking a relaxed farm location with indoor and outdoor spaces and room for guests to celebrate together.
