When two people are meant to find each other, it doesn’t matter how many miles stand between them.
For Lilly and Jelani, love looked like flights from Houston, Texas, and family road trips from California, all converging in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
Their A&K Alder Farm wedding in Sedro-Woolley, WA was everything a wedding should be—intentional, heartfelt, and beautifully real.
From Texas & California to the PNW
It takes something special to bring so many people together across state lines, but that’s exactly what this A&K Alder Farm wedding did.
Friends and family gathered under overcast skies and towering alders, with the kind of joy that you only see when people really show up for one another.
Lilly’s southern warmth met Jelani’s calm, grounded energy—and together they created a celebration that blended cultures, families, and stories.
Their day wasn’t about perfection. It was about presence.
Why A&K Alder Farm Is a Dream Sedro-Woolley Wedding Venue
Tucked in the quiet edges of Skagit Valley, A&K Alder Farm is one of those rare venues that feels like stepping into a PNW dream.
The property is surrounded by evergreens and open fields, with just the right mix of rustic and refined—perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel laid-back but deeply personal.
For Lilly and Jelani, the space felt like exactly that: a place where love could breathe.
The natural tones of the wood, the way the light filtered through the trees, and the way everyone seemed to slow down—it all created an atmosphere that was grounded and genuine.

A Day Full of Emotion
The First Look
They found a quiet corner among the trees before the ceremony. You can see it in their faces—the nerves melting away, replaced by that “this is it” kind of love.
The Ceremony
Surrounded by family and the soft sound of wind through the trees, their vows felt deeply personal. It was a reminder that love doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
The People
Guests laughed, cried, and celebrated like family because that’s exactly what this day was about—connection. From heartfelt toasts to spontaneous hugs, the love was tangible.
The Party
As the sun dipped behind the fields, Uncle Smiley the DJ kept the energy high, turning the barn into a dance floor that pulsed with joy.
Behind the bar, Allen from the Dave & Allen Morning Show on 104.1 Radio poured drinks and kept everyone laughing.
Every detail—from the music to the laughter echoing under the string lights—felt intentional, relaxed, and completely “them.”
