A sweet moment for Sidney and Jay, dancing in the birch quartet at golden hour, with flowering potatoes as their quiet audience.

A timeless walk down the aisle, surrounded by love and guided by the ones who've been there every step of the way.

She’s shiny. She’s classic. She’s photogenic from every angle.
Our 1966 Airstream has been here since day one. This Caravel is more than just a conversation piece—it’s a built-in photo backdrop with retro charm and timeless style.

Whether you’re grabbing a quiet moment together or wrangling your whole wedding party for portraits, she’s ready.

Just one more reason Saltbox is more than a venue—it’s an experience.

The First Look

This is what it looks like when love meets the moment.
No aisle. No crowd.
Just the two of you, standing still for the first time that day.

He cried.
And she smiled—because the moment was everything they’d been waiting for.

It’s these quiet, deeply human moments that live in the walls at Saltbox.
We’re lucky enough to witness them. And you’re lucky enough to feel them forever.

Highly recommend switching out your formal wear for more comfortable clothing at some point during the reception like Jillian and Jace did.

We didn’t start Saltbox Barn to run a venue.

We started it to hold space for moments that matter—quiet, sacred, joyful, sometimes messy, always beautiful.

We believe weddings should feel like you: full of soul, not show.

We're here on your day. We’re here with you. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

You walk in together—just the two of you for a moment—
and see the tables set, the lights glowing, the room ready.

It’s quiet, but it hums with love.
This is where your people will gather.
Where glasses will clink and laughter will carry up to the rafters.
Where toasts will be made, plates will be cleared, and memories will settle in.

It’s more than a reception.
It’s your beginning—set beneath beams and bunting, surrounded by joy.

There’s nothing automated about what we do.
We answer every email- usually within minutes. We welcome you back for as many visits as you need, because feeling at home here matters

We notice when grandma needs shade, when a centerpiece needs adjusting,
when the wind picks up at just the wrong time. When dandelions pop up overnight, Brock is out picking them. Katie will straighten your train or will take photos of you and your dad in the barn, awaiting to walk outside & down that aisle as your photographer is capturing that side of it.

We’re not background staff—we’re part of your story.
We care, and we show up like it. Every time.

From the little things you’ll never notice… to the moments you’ll never forget.
We’re here—quietly, carefully, wholeheartedly.

As we welcome another summer of celebration and love at The Saltbox, we pause today to reflect.

Memorial Day is a time to remember those who never made it home—and to honor the lives lost in service.

We hold space for the weight of that sacrifice, and for the peace we all hope to build in their memory.

The Saltbox Barn isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s quiet enough for minimalists.
Warm enough for romantics.
Natural enough for boho dreamers.
Classic enough for a timeless “I do.”
And flexible enough for whatever you’re dreaming up next.

Whether your style is bohemian, romantic, modern, rustic, country western, minimalist, classic, creative, garden party, whimsical, cultural or multicultural—or something more defined, like Halloween, Roaring '20s, or Old Hollywood—
Saltbox is designed to meet you there and feel like it was made just for you.

Guest List Gut Check

Before you send that invite, ask yourself:
Did they wish you a happy birthday last year?
Have they shown up for you in real life—not just on social media?
Would you gladly pay for this person’s dinner?
Are they someone you’d want in your wedding photos forever?
Are you inviting them for you, or because someone else expects you to?
Would they respect your wedding boundaries (e.g., no plus-ones, unplugged ceremony)?
If they didn’t show up, would you care or notice?

Your wedding is not a reunion. It’s not a networking event. It’s a celebration of love with the people who love you right back.

Choose presence over pressure. Peace over expectations.

And remember: fewer guests = more meaning and more time to connect.

Your guest list should reflect your heart—not your obligation list.

At The Saltbox Barn, we believe in heart-first hosting—and that includes making space for honesty. Love without pressure. Boundaries without guilt. Your day, your people, your peace.

This little cart has been rolling through love stories for decades.

Originally part of Brock’s mom’s wedding venue, Larkspur Farm, it greeted guests with charm and cheer.

When she sold her home/ venue, the cart found new life at Evergreen Gardens, where Brock’s uncle used it at his venue for years. It came full circle—back home with us at The Saltbox Barn when Evergreen Gardens was sold to new ownership a few years ago.

We love the history it holds, the hands that have moved it, and the couples it’s helped celebrate. Just like our venue, it’s rooted in family, tradition, and with a whole lot of heart.

About Us- The Venue

Welcome to the Saltbox Barn! Fir Island’s only wedding venue, located within the beautiful farmlands of Skagit Valley. The dairy turned industrial metal shop, and now a wedding venue is a celebration of history, industry, agriculture, art, and love.

From the moment you walk through the gate, your first impression will be nothing short of amazing.

A 1940s saltbox barn, bistro lighting, sprawling concrete floors, huge wood beams, towering ceilings, industrial touches, panoramic views, custom décor, and much more.

To make your planning effortless, we kept the barn classic yet modern and simple yet compelling.
