Host Your Next Business Event at The Barn at Holly Farm
Location is Everything!
The Barn at Holly Farm is less than 25 miles north of Seattle located in Snohomish County on the edge of urban! At the heart of our 17-acre working equestrian farm we offer the region’s most authentic and intimate farm venue. We provide a break from the ordinary off-site event experience. We offer team-building, tasting events, dinner parties, themed events, award ceremonies or your employee company picnic. Our team of event professionals are here to design your perfect off-site event – from a team communication workshop to a sales team dinner in the ‘board-room’ or breezeway with a farm table dinner or a rustic elegant outdoor celebration. Events at our vintage barn inspire boldness, and ensure an unforgettable experience of the year!
Team Building Activities
We all know good communication leads to great working relationships and that develops stability in the workforce. Getting out of the office and into The Barn at Holly Farm brings team-building and corporate communication workshops to a different level. Our foundational workshops peel back the layers and get to the core of more clear communication. We welcome managers to the farm for a brief discussion on how we can customize our program to work for your team. Our workshops are ideally designed for up to 16 person teams, and we offer 4 hour sessions with a catered lunch or dinner. We also have a mini-camp experience for a ‘lite day out’ to lift the spirits of your office team and “Animal Encounters’ for a short 90 min session including ‘Shed Talks’ and animal education .

Testimonials
Thank you Karmel!
Our day was perfect thanks to you, Nina, Shooby Doo, Melanie, and Gerald.
We couldn’t have asked for more…
As the Chef/Owner of Vineyard Catering, I catered an buffet for a women’s event in July 2018. Karmel could not have been more accommodating. The event space has multiple options for set up. Our event was held both inside the barn and extended to the outside patio. Very authentic barn atmosphere.
Absolutely GORGEOUS event space & property!! I have attended several events here & am always impressed. The staff obviously works very hard to keep the property immaculate. The barn itself is a remarkable structure & has been beautifully preserved. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any event of any size.
Karmel and The Barn at Holly Farm exceeded our expectations for our Illuminating Women event. The patio was most ideal for our fiber felting activity, and our attendees thoroughly enjoyed the friendly farm feel of our rural community. We look forward to many more events at The Barn at Holly Farm.
Thank you SO much for helping with the YMCA event on Saturday. There were plenty of challenges but you gave it your all and did an amazing job!
I want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your HARD work on this festival! I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you for your patience and professionalism before and during this event. I’m sure we will get great feedback in spite of the weather and it was due to your coordination that let us breathe a bit easier.
Thank you for everything you did for us and helping make my job so much easier and more enjoyable.
“I am so happy that we found each other and we had our first event with the Barn at Holly Farm! It is an amazing property with amazing people. So turn key for what we needed being so late in the game, we couldn’t have done it without you and your team!
Again, thank you for being so awesome. I really respect you and your work ethic and hope I can emulate this throughout my career.”
Staff has excellent attention to detail, event went off without a hitch. Great follow up after the event to make sure we were happy. I would recommend it for weddings, family gatherings, corporate events or just an old fashioned party.

You swooped in and saved us with your beautiful barn and you’ve been wonderful every step of the way. What started out as a nightmare has turned into an incredible blessing. You’ve been so generous and I was blown away by the fireworks for the kid’s departure. You truly went above and beyond for us and made our day unimaginably lovely! Many of our guests commented on how warm and welcoming you were and loved how passionate you are about the venue and the reasons why you serve. I can’t say thank … Read more
