PUYALLUP, Wash. — One year after winning Best Brunch in our viewers poll, Farm 12 has snagged the crown for Best Wedding Venue in Western Washington.
Farm 12, which supports the Step By Step mission to equip pregnant women, mothers and families to positively impact generations, has four picturesque spaces for weddings. There are two event halls, beautiful outdoor spaces and a greenhouse. It may be a lot to try to keep track of but founder and CEO Krista Linden says she has a great team led by event director Talleen Forester.
"Talleen has a heart of gold. She is one of the hardest workers and she is someone that everyone on our staff can trust to the moon and back," Linden said. "She is amazing."
Forester who has 30 years experience in the hospitality industry contacted Linden while Farm 12 was still under construction. Here, on a former daffodil and tulip farm, Forester and her team of venue coordinators plant happy memories for couples. Farm 12 offers onsite catering and floral arrangements. Forester doesn't like surprises but there wasn't anything she could do about us singling her out for the award.
Her eyes still wet from tears, Forester said she and her team build bonds with every couple that start their lives at a Farm12 venue.
"Every wedding you'll see the event team crying," Forseter said. "Just to experience that moment with the bride and groom knowing that we walked them through the process. Then watching them share that special moment during the ceremony and then to celebrate in the evening, it's always a very special moment."
