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.

The Emerald Forest Theater is an absolutely magical place to get married. My husband and I wanted to strike the perfect balance between an intimate day that felt almost like an elo...
pement while still having everything we needed to host our wedding, and this venue was exactly that. Our guests are still telling us it was the most beautiful and unique wedding they’ve ever attended. Grace was wonderful to communicate with throughout the planning process, and Jodi was so kind and attentive on our wedding day, always making sure we had everything we needed. I truly couldn’t have been happier with our choice of venue. We also chose to spend our first night as newlyweds in the treehouse across the water, which meant we got to make our grand exit by zipline (a memory we’ll never forget)! We already know we’ll be coming back to stay in the treehouse every year for our anniversary.
Where to begin? The Emerald Forest was our dream venue - we booked it from out of state after moving from Washington to the Bay Area last year. The photos were stunning, but tourin...
g the venue confirmed we absolutely made the right choice. The staff was easy to work with - they went above and beyond throughout the entire process to make our day organized and helped bring our visions to life with our decor.
Staying in the treehouse is an absolute must! Highly recommend for the married-couple-to-be. Would also highly recommend booking with their preferred vendor Subtle Approach for catering. It can be a bit tricky finding a vendor to make the hike out to the venue, and we can absolutely see why Subtle Approach came so highly recommended.
All our guests brought up throughout the day (and after the fact) what a stunning venue it was and how perfect everything turned out! Thank you, Emerald Forest and Team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.
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 ou...
r 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 a...
n 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!
