Kellam Estate

to finish, they were quick to respond to emails and were on-site for our rehearsal and day-of to answer any questions or help. The space itself is very versatile and could be set up many ways, but we used their back pasture for both our outdoor ceremony and tented reception. The stable and barn area were perfect for our cocktail hour. We have had so many positive comments on the venue and our other vendors truly enjoyed working here. Thanks again, Chelsea and Alex!

g!

ing it was a destination wedding for us since we are military and live in WA. The day of the wedding came and upon arrival they were no where to be found. I wondered around the house looking for them because I wasn’t too sure where anything was. Fortunately I figured it out and wasn’t greeted by Chelsea until about 3hours after being there. A major issue of the night was that there are no signs on property stating the house is off limits to guest. I tried my best to tell people beforehand. But of course they didn’t listen. While we were getting ready I was able to kick some people out but once the Ceremony started it was sort of out of my control. I was incredibly shocked when I had my coordinator come up to me DURING our photos stating we had to remove all of our items from the house immediately otherwise we would be charged. This caught me off guard because we had until the reception started to do such per the contract. Nonetheless we scrambled to gather everything in a rush to get out of the house. Following this apparently a few kids wondered in the house during the night. I was told that Alex supposedly yelled at them which I don’t appreciate and was also charged fees because they spilled liquid inside. This was incredibly frustrating because I feel they should be in the house to tell people to not enter or have the doors locked since It’s out of my control. Especially since I had to run around mid cocktail hour to get all of our stuff out. At the end of the night, again I had my coordinator tell me that all the trash had to be taken off property otherwise I’d be charged a $100 fee. Which I was very caught off guard because it never stated that in the contract. Which I later brought up but still had to pay half because they already took care of the trash. I disagree with this considering it was their mistake they didn’t keep up with the fact that my contract didn’t have that new rule in it. I let it go and just let them refund me half. When we did return the next day to clean. A few items were left in the house during our rush to clean up. For instance my moms new steamer; normally you’d think they’d gather the items and let me know. Instead they found it necessary to throw them on the lawn outback. Which it rained so that new steamer is now broken. Overall I was very disappointed. I’m not sure if they had something going on which is why they were so absent during the day no where to be found but it was unacceptable.

preparations leading up to our daughter's special day. Thank you for making our event memorable!
