There is something so magical about the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Maybe it’s the bright green moss, or the towering old growth of the Olympic Peninsula. It’s a scene like no other and the forest make for an incredible backdrop for a small wedding or elopement. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite forest wedding venues of Washington for your small wedding or elopement.

Wedding Venues near Mt Rainier

Mt Rainier National Park is filled with incredible scenery but some of the most beautiful little spots might be tucked away in the woods. There are darling AirBnb a-frame cabins and venues that can house groups as well. The area is filled with beautiful places to have a small wedding or elopement.
