Earthwise Agassiz Venue
Earthwise Agassiz provides the perfect venue for weddings and social events! The unique property encompasses 58 acres of scenic farmland, dramatic mountain outcroppings, streams and wetlands, and lush forest groves. At the entrance, a heritage farmhouse and barn surrounded by beautiful gardens greets your guests. Earthwise Agassiz is an oasis of rustic beauty, offering plenty of space to explore and celebrate, unconfined by traditional walls.
We want your event to be as unique as you are. Let your imagination wander and we will help you create the event of your dreams with our spectacular natural setting as your backdrop. The beautiful scenery will be sure to give you, and your guests, an experience that is simply unforgettable – and the stunning photographs will prove it!
Endless Possibilities….
Earthwise Agassiz is a working, small-scale regenerative farm and garden. This means you can make arrangements for us to provide delicious seasonal produce and fresh flowers for your event. Ask us and we will work with you to create a unique event that brings out the best of what the site can offer.
Earthwise Agassiz allows you to choose from a variety of special settings on the property to reflect the theme and mood you’d like to create. Select the setting that is right for your event – gardenside in front of the farmhouse or in the quiet beneath the forest canopy. Whichever you select, your guests can tour the property, explore the meandering nature trails and wander through the gardens.
Talk to us if you’d like to explore other ideas and possibilities – farm tours, nature walks, games or scavenger hunts. Share your ideas and we’ll try to accommodate!
Venue Settings:
The Garden
Set against our striking, century-old farmhouse, the 1 acre lawn and gardens are full of old-time charm evoking memories of simpler times. Your guests can stroll through the gardens and enjoy the ever changing tapestry of seasonal blooms, butterflies, and birds. Ask us about flowers from the garden for your table settings!
Accommodates: 120 people
Cedar Grove (Ceremony only)
For an enchanting wedding experience, exchange vows under the rich forest canopy by the river’s edge, surrounded by soaring old-growth cedars. Because of the environmentally sensitive nature of this site, there is an additional charge for this option. Please note that we are only able to accommodate a very limited number of chairs in the cedar grove in order to preserve the fragile understory. As such, this location should be considered standing room only. We ask our guests to tread carefully and enjoy the peaceful natural surrounding of the grove.
Accommodates: 80 people. Special charge: $300, includes bridal arch
Other Locations: If you are interested in another location on the property that is not listed, please contact us!
