mEET yOUR HOSTS, PAUL & eMILY GRUBB
Relationships are Everything.
For Paul and Emily Grubb, relationships are everything—from the love they share to the deep connections they nurture with family, neighbors, and the Whidbey Island community. And, they bring that same care to your wedding.
The Grubb family has called the Maxwelton Valley home for five generations. In 1903, Paul’s great-great-grandparents John and Sarah Grubb and great-grandparents George and Effie Grubb moved from Kansas and founded a Free Methodist Church on the corner of French and Maxwelton roads. The distinct building built in 1910 with locally milled cedar that turned brown as it weathered became a community landmark known as The Little Brown Church.
Today, that same spirit of hospitality continues at Cascadia Meadows, where Paul and Emily carry forward a legacy of gathering communities with warmth and welcome.
Our Story of New Beginnings
When Paul’s aunt and uncle gathered our family in 2020 with a hope of someone purchasing the church and parson’s cottage, we jumped at the chance and creating a simple, private wedding venue became a part of our vision. In 2021 we celebrated our own wedding right here at Cascadia Meadows —creating an unforgettable day surrounded by the people and the place we love most.
We have poured our hearts into the land to make it even more spectacular. We covered a large parking lot with grass, planted over 600 trees and a thousand native plants to create a uniquely stunning “natural cathedral.” The entire place is imbued with love and intention for those who come here to write their own stories of new beginnings.
