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 by craftsmen at the turn of the 20th Century, this restored lodge includes the 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 #
Our simple classroom and conference building provides a large indoor space for off-season weddings.
Dining
We recognize that great food can add a special touch to your wedding day, so our chefs prepare delicious meals to satisfy your guests.
Rehearsal dinner: Your entrée options include customizable burrito bar or penne pasta with marinara sauce. Rehearsal dinners with less than 70 guests can also choose teriyaki chicken with stir fry veggies, homemade pizza with salad bar and baked chicken with mashed potatoes. Entrees are accompanied by a side dish, vegetable and dessert.
Saturday breakfast & lunch: Start your morning off right with a hearty meal of pancakes and sausage or French toast and sausage. Additionally, there is always cold cereal and fruit to choose from, as well as coffee, tea, milk and juice. A make-it-yourself sack lunch spread is set out with breakfast.
Wedding dinner: Our wedding meal is based around wild Pacific salmon, served with roasted red pepper cream sauce or marionberry reduction sauce. It is served with almond rice pilaf, and broccoli with Asiago cheese cream sauce. We can also provide a completely vegetarian or vegan menu, if you prefer. The wedding party is responsible for the wedding cake.
Sunday breakfast: Our delicious fresh basil scrambled eggs with buttermilk biscuits, sausage and fruit are a great way to finish your momentous weekend celebration.
