Plus, forest venues are make a great canvas for a wide array of styles - romantic, fairytale/fantasy, rustic, boho, etc. There are many beautiful outdoor spaces around Oregon and Washington, so we had to share some of our favorite forest wedding venues!

McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse
At Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, you'll get those forest vibes while still being close to the city. Nestled in the trees is the Octagonal Barn - a serene reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Opt to have your ceremony inside or outside of the barn, both will provide a rustic, boho vibe.

Situated in the middle of towering trees is the stunning Redwood Observation Deck in Hoyt Arboretum. It's the perfect spot for an intimate wedding or elopement (accommodates 40 people standing or 25 people seated). For larger weddings, the nearby Wedding Meadow is another great option!
