Weddings
A full weekend wedding or commitment celebration allows you to spend relaxing quality time with your loved ones. Take the time to catch up with friends and family from far away, swap stories around the campfire and create magical memories on nearby forest trails leading to mountain vistas and picturesque waterfalls. We offer an affordable wedding package that includes rehearsal, ceremony, reception, meals and lodging—all in one breathtaking location.
Your wedding makes a difference! NatureBridge provides hands-on environmental science programs to more than 700 schools and 30,000 students each year. When you choose our location for your event, you are supporting our mission and our dedication to providing programs to young people from all communities.
NatureBridge is a partner of the National Park Service and we are proud to support their mission to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations.
The wedding weekend was great! We are so happy about how everything turned out and are so thankful for how helpful and amazing all of the staff were.Kyla, bride
Event Space
From the shore of Lake Crescent to historic Rosemary Inn, you can find the indoor and outdoor spaces to best suit the needs of you and your guests on your special day. Our wedding package includes exclusive use of our campus, which means that you have access to everything we have to offer.
Rosemary Inn #
Built in the early 1900s, this restored lodge includes the Rosemary dining room, Cedar Room meeting space and a cozy library (perfect for a dressing room) overlooking the campus grounds along the shores of Lake Crescent.
Outdoor Spaces #
You will have exclusive use of our campus during your event. For decorations, you are limited only by the natural beauty, your own creativity, and a few campus and Olympic National Park regulations.
Storm King Hall #
The Storm King Hall classroom and conference building provides a large indoor space for you to use.
Dining
Great food is an essential element of your wedding weekend. Our cooks prepare delicious, satisfying meals throughout the weekend, made with fresh, local ingredients where possible.
Rosemary Inn provides a cozy setting where meals are served buffet style. This includes Friday dinner; Saturday breakfast, sack lunch, appetizers, and dinner; and Sunday breakfast. You only need to bring a dessert for the reception, alcohol, and any extras you wish to provide. S’mores anyone?
There are hot breakfast options as well as a cereal bar. Coffee and tea are available throughout the day. Build-your-own sack lunch materials will be set out during breakfast on Saturday for everyone to pack up their sandwiches, snacks, and treats to enjoy later in the day.
The wedding dinner features local salmon with sauces and sides made from local, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Chicken is served as an alternative meat option, and as always, vegetarian options and other dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated. There is also a kids menu option for the wedding dinner.
Overnight Accommodations
To maximize the event experience, your guests are welcome to stay in our cabins. Our campus features historic cabins and standard dormitory style cabins that together can accommodate approximately 70 to 150 people.
Standard Cabins #
Our standard dormitory style cabins are heated and air-conditioned. Each cabin has four or six private rooms each containing multiple bunk beds. Cabins either have their own restrooms and showers or are located near a shared bathhouse. Some cabins and restrooms are accessible by ramp. Please contact us if you have more detailed questions about accessibility and what to expect on campus.
Historic Cabins #
Our historic cabins have a unique charm and feature the historical construction of our property. Each cabin is different in layout and size, accommodates two to eight guests and includes a private restroom.
