    Copia on the Boulevard - An Intimate setting for Business or Social events

    Copia on the Boulevard

    (5 reviews)

    *they have deleted our negative reviews from Google, which makes them look like they have good…read morereviews.* DO NOT use Copia for your wedding bartenders! They were extremely difficult to work with and had such nasty attitudes the month leading up to our wedding and the day of our wedding. It is extremely sad that people can try to ruin your day that you've been planning for 18 months. This was the happiest day for us and they were so rude to us, our guests, and our other vendors. They should NOT be in the bartending business because they are unhappy people. Bartending at someones wedding should be such a fun and exciting experience, but they looked miserable and unhappy the whole night. I'm not sure if something is going on in their personal lives, but they took it out on us and that's not okay. We provided all of the alcohol and cups. They had to show up and pour alcohol. They were unhappy with the alcohol we provided, the cup sizes, etc. We had water stations around our venue for guests to pour themselves water throughout the night. My mom asked them for some glasses to put at one of the stations and Joseph told my mom (mother of the groom) to "fuck off" when she asked. We bought the cups? We hired them from 4-10pm. Yet, when they were setting up around 1pm, they were questioning if the groomsmen were drinking hard alcohol. We had hydration sticks that we were pouring in water. Anything prior to 4pm is not your business though and should've been the concern of the venue. Throughout the night, Copia was requiring everyone to drink a cup of water before allowing them to get a new drink. This is ridiculous. By the end of the night, my wife (bride) was so fed up with them, that she went up to the bar and told them to stop requiring people to drink water. She said that people will grab a glass of water if they want one and we also had 2 other water stations around the venue. That night, we went through 10 galloons of water and 360 water bottles. People were hydrating and NO ONE was overly intoxicated. We also had a 50 person party bus for the end of the night so everyone was being safe and responsible. After she asked them to stop having people grab water, they then took away the water and when people asked for water, they said "the bride is refusing me to serve water" or "don't tell the bride I'm giving you water". How manipulative and highly inappropriate. It just felt like they were out to get us. Overall, our day was gorgeous, but it's really sad to me that these people are bartenders and tried to ruin our day. You are a bartender? What a fun job?? If you are so miserable, you need a new career.

    *They have removed our negative reviews from google review…read moreI've NEVER had a more negative experience with anyone in my life. I know a lot of these reviews are in regards to their actual event center, which I cannot speak to, BUT I can speak to their wedding bartending and it was HORRIFIC! My wedding was about 3 weeks ago, and I finally feel like I am in a space to review. For awhile, I was so sad by how our day transpired, that it was hard to think of the positives of our day. I've never met such hateful people, on what was supposed to be our happiest day. This is going to be a long detailed review, but we had so many bad experiences, that I want to make sure that I am as thorough as possible to help others getting married AVOID them at all cost. Disclaimer: we got married at Stepping Stones Garden and they required us to use their preferred bartenders. We had such a bad experience with them leading up to the wedding and tried to get out of our contract with the, but Stepping Stones would not allow it. Leading up to the wedding: - we had pre-arranged to have a separate "cocktail hour" bar for an hour. When we asked to do a separate bar they said "where do you think you're getting married, Seattle?". Even though Stepping Stones said that they've had Copia do separate cocktail hour bars many times before. So this comment just felt rude and unnecessary. Then, they were very difficult and said we could only have champagne. After getting Stepping Stones involved, we finally were able to get them to budge and have 2 beverages (white claws and white wine), which still seemed silly. - They told us that the bar would be closing at 9pm even though the wedding reception did not end until 10pm. After talking with Stepping Stones, they said this was odd and that they usually did last call at 9:30pm. We finally got them to budge on the ending time once we got stepping stones involved. - Overall, leading up to the wedding they had a very nasty demeanor. Working with them was truly the only thing that I was stressed about leading up to the wedding. I was hopeful that their nastiness was just before the wedding and not during the actual day, but boy was I wrong. Day of the wedding: - We provided all of the alcohol (beer, wine, seltzer) and cups. My godfather is a beer salesman so he graciously provided us with the alcohol. When he arrived the morning of the wedding to drop off, Copia would not accept all of it. If the alcohol didn't get used, we planned on taking it back? As soon as my mom arrived with 10oz and 16 oz plastic cups for the beer and wine Copia was immediately frustrated and said they would not be using our cups, even though they did not specify a size we needed to purchase. The contract did NOT state a cup size. -In our contract, we paid extra for the cocktail bar to be open for one whole hour. Copia had the cocktail hour bar open for 15-30minutes. They allowed everyone to get 1 drink. As soon as there wasn't a line, they shut it down. My parents (MOB and FOB) went up to the cocktail hour bar during this time and asked for a drink where they were told no. They then went to the main bar to get a drink, where again they were told no. They did NOT communicate to us that they'd shut down after everyone got a drink. My poor parents were busy helping us that the got out to cocktail hour late and were refused. -I was very clear that I wanted people drinking out of glassware during dinner, but then switched over to plastic cups once we were on the dance floor so that glass didn't get broken. I think they were so mad at us for getting the wrong size plastic cups, so they didn't end up requiring people to use plastic. There were beer glasses and wine glasses on the dance floor, which in result, we had broken glass on the dance floor while people were dancing barefoot. - Joseph told my husbands mom (MOG) to "f*ck off", when she asked for more plastic cups to put out at the water station. We paid for the cups. - Throughout the night, Copia was requiring everyone to drink a cup of water before allowing them to get a new drink. This is ridiculous. By the end of the night, I was so fed up with them, that I went up to the bar and told them to stop requiring people to drink water. I said that people will grab a glass of water if they want one and we also had 2 other water stations around the venue. That night, we went through 10 galloons of water and 360 water bottles.

I shopped around in Seattle and Bothell--and Cherry Falls had far more ambiance at a better price than the big city offerings. We liked the large windows in the back that showed the trees and forest (our family member who passed was an avid hiker and outdoor lover). There is a kitchen that includes a 30-cup coffee maker, as well as two lovely water dispensers, and much more. There is a large screen with the electronics and speakers to show a slide show or movie. The parking lot is huge, the place is easy to find, right off the road, but it feels peaceful and secluded. The proprietor, Autumn, met us there to go through the electronics and the other details, and before I showed with all my snacks and flowers, she'd already put white tablecloths on all five (huge) tables, and pulled out additional smaller tables for pictures and memorabilia. Everything was spotlessly clean, including a large bathroom and cloakroom. Really, we couldn't have asked for more. I whole-heartedly recommend this venue!

    We were married in a beautiful lavender field at Flatiron Fields in Sequim, Washington. The 15-acre…read morefarm was simply magical, with rows and rows and rows and rows of varying and vibrant shades of lavender, which our guests enjoyed exploring before and after the ceremony. We first met the owner, Keith, at the Field Arts and Events Hall Wedding Expo. He was personable, helpful, and very accommodating. He had several suggestions--while open to all of our ideas--for where we could hold the ceremony and how we could arrange seating. He was also open to us returning in the evening so we could have amazing photos taken during the "golden hour" lighting. And to top it off, he even supplied the lavender for our wedding reception centerpieces! And as a side note, there was ample parking for our 100 guests. In the end, we can't imagine how our wedding could have turned out any better! If you're getting married on the Olympic Peninsula, you should definitely take a good look at Flatiron Fields. We could not be any happier with our experience. --CB and Edwina Bell

The lavender fields make for some of the most magnificent and frame worthy photos. The staff is friendly, helpful, and people oriented.

I cannot recommend them enough for your special day.

    The Barn at Holly Farm - Before the crowd arrives...

    The Barn at Holly Farm

    TERRIBLE venue management under the guise of a beautiful space…read more In short, three months after signing with The Barn at Holly Farm we were told management would rather start a year of self-initiated renovations than honor their contract with us. Their decision not only affected us, but at least nine other couples who had booked weddings there too. For my fiancé and me, this left us with less than 7 months before the wedding date to find a new venue and re-plan our entire event. It took over a month for us to find a new space that could accommodate our wedding size indoors. To receive a full refund, we were expected to sign a document that stated we wouldn't make any comments which "may, directly or indirectly, disparage" The Barn at Holly Farm (obviously we did not accept those terms). It then took over a month to receive the funds for The Barn's breach of contract. I hope no other couple has to experience The Barn at Holly Farm's mismanagement and the nightmare experience they caused at least 10 couples in 2021!

    My husband and I were married at the Barn at Holly Farm in May 2019 (I meant to leave a review…read moresooner but life quickly got in the way). We worked with Karmel as well as a flower vendor (Dirty Girl) and photographers (GSquared) whom Karmel recommended. Part of the reason we were drawn to this venue is because of the good works that they do with equine therapy and rescued farm animals. Our experience with the Barn was fantastic. We really hit it off with Karmel and she made planning the wedding fun and low stress. The vendors she recommended also did a great job and at the end of the day, are just good people. I feel like they all connected with us on a personal level. One fun perk this venue offered is for a small fee someone from the Barn takes guests out to meet some of the animals (chickens, goats, llamas, etc.) during the social hour before the reception. This was a lovely and charming way to start the celebration. I think that what we paid was fair for the service we received. The only snafu at the very end was having to pack our own stuff even though we paid extra for the clean-up service, but it was mostly just our personal belongings and it wasn't a big deal. There's always a little wedding drama - in this case our own guests, and the way that Karmel and vendors went about handling it to reduce the stress on us was beautifully done. They were respectful and discreet and we were incredibly grateful for their support. The space itself on the day of the wedding was absolutely stunning and everything was set up exactly as we had planned. It was a truly magical day and I'm so glad we chose the Barn to get married. I'd do it all over again. :)
