A Setting As Unique As Your Celebration ...
More Than a Venue. We are a Place to Begin, Build, and Bloom
In the heart of Vashon Island, a vibrant new event oasis emerges. Whether you're launching a bold new venture, celebrating life’s milestones, renewing love, or envisioning the future of your business, this is where meaningful gatherings take root. Redefine what it means to come together - with beauty, intention, and transformative connection at the center.
At Iola Gardens, our flexible indoor and outdoor spaces can be adapted to suit gatherings of all sizes — from intimate dinners to large-scale celebrations.
Indoor Barn Seating: Comfortably seats 14 around a single long table (up to 20 for casual gatherings)
Indoor-Outdoor Flow: With use of existing tables, chairs, and open-air areas, we can accommodate 20–30 guests for seated meals
Cocktail-Style Events: Perfect for 50–75 guests across barn, patio, and garden spaces
Full-Scale Events with Enhancements: With additional accommodations (tenting, lavatories, parking/shuttle coordination), we can host up to 150 guests
The best layout depends on your goals: whether you need everyone at the same table, want to create moments of flow and exploration, or envision a day that unfolds across different areas of the land.
