About this vendor
Situated amidst stunning woodlands, The Emerald Forest is a unique wedding destination located on the outskirts of Redmond, Washington (30 minutes from Seattle). The acres of mossy forest floor and dark green trees are the backdrop for your ceremony.
In the middle of the most beautiful forest on earth is the Emerald Forest Theater built on an episode of Pete Nelson's Treehouse Masters in 2018 (Climb-in Drive-in Theater). Suspended up in the trees, wooden bridges and platforms provide a beautiful vantage point to see the entire forest. The wild landscape merges with whimsical wedding dreams, resulting in a unique experience for all involved.
With a capacity to accommodate up to 35 guests not including the couple or vendors, this setting is ideal for intimate weddings and elopements. Couples may exchange vows in the depths of the peaceful forest against a floral backdrop and rustic altar setup, on the new Mosswood Overlook in the back of the forest, or on the stage in front of the theater.
Guests can enjoy a buffet style dinner with serving out of the in the new gazebo and socialize around the campfire. The Emerald Forest provides seating for 37 at dinner. A 5-star reviewed Treehouse provides the ideal retreat for newlyweds, with stunning views of the nature pond.
This hideaway destination offers a number of services for couples planning their wedding day. The dedicated team can customize packages to suit each couple’s requests and preferences. The venue team can provide chairs, tables, and linens, and you are free to arrange the space to reflect your wedding vision. Guests and couples alike can reach the wedding venue within a 10-minute trail walk, allowing time to breathe in the magnificent landscape.

I was able to realize my dream wedding and my now-husband actually enjoyed our wedding thanks to this stunning, magical forest venue! We had only our reception here, having made our ceremony location a bit more accessible so my grandparents could attend, but oh what a reception it was! We arrived an hour and a half late because of several mishaps at our ceremony location, but Jenni and Scott were very accommodating and gracious to extend our time so we were able to have our full 4 hours in the forest. We felt so relaxed as soon as we arrived, and our guests all had a wonderful time and many said it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! My new in-laws who got married on an event yacht told us we beat them for coolest reception. It was so much better than we even imagined and we didn’t need to worry about setting anything up or bringing in any decorations because the beauty of the forest is enough. If I could do it again, I would’ve definitely had the ceremony here too if not for my concern for my grandparents. The treehouse we ziplined to across the pond was our honeymoon suite and it was the cherry on top. Such a cozy, magical place. If you love the outdoors, or dream of an intimate, magical forest wedding, this is absolutely the place for you!
This venue is perfect for a small wedding. It’s about 10 minutes walk on the trail to the venue.
Words can not describe how beautiful the Emerald Forest is. We were looking for an outdoor venue that’s good for pandemic situation. When we found this venue on theknot.com, we felt in love right away. The team at the Emerald Forest was amazing and very helpful. Jenni answered all of our questions and had several checklists to help us get ready for the wedding. We also stayed at the treehouse air bnb on the night of our wedding. We loved it. It was such a wonderful experience. Thank you Scott and Jenni!
