Receptions can be held in the communal lodge, which is a modest and cozy space that welcomes intimate gatherings of friends and family. The lodge also includes a full kitchen, dining room, and fireplace. There is even a piano and an organ for guests to avail of. Outdoors a roaring fire awaits as night falls.

Perfect Forest Wedding

This might be our favorite place in Oregon. Part of me wants to keep this place a secret, but It’s just too amazing to not be shared! We had our wedding here back in May of 2021 (I think we might have actually been the first wedding at TCWL!) & had the most wonderful experience! When we found TCWL on Airbnb we thought it was just a cabin in the woods, but it turned out to be much more than that! The property is spectacular! It’s the quintessential PNW wonderland, nestled in a mossy forest with rivers running through. It’s the perfect location for an intimate “Camp Out'' style wedding. The host, Ian, & his crew, are so kind & accommodating. It’s apparent how much love and hard work they’ve put into the property.It is such a special place that My family and I will continue to visit for years to come. I recommend paying a visit to see for yourself; & tell Ian, Dani & Will sent you!

Most magical forest wedding imaginable!

Trout Creek Wilderness Lodge was the wedding venue of my dreams! We were so fortunate to be able to host over 150 of our most cherished friends and family for a weeklong wedding celebration. We rented the entire place out, and our guests had free run of the entire property. The forest trails are so magical, the river is a blast to swim and play in. We had our ceremony on the river deck and it was absolutely sacred and stunning, the trees and moss and ferns all seemed to be blessing our union with their beauty. At night we had dance parties and in the day we had yoga classes. We shared meals and laughs around the campfire. Would absolutely recommend this place if you want a unique, forest fairy land feel for your wedding. The staff are so amazing, and were so helpful with the planning process, and making sure we all felt so welcome, and had everything we needed the entire time. All our friends and family are now asking us to have an annual gathering at Trout Creek Wilderness Lodge, they all had so much fun at our wedding!

Forest Wedding of our Dreams

Our wedding weekend at Trout Creek Wilderness Lodge was truly magical. My husband (!) and I felt very supported by Ian and the volunteer crew. Ian was very supportive of our vision and generous throughout the process; bringing the forest wedding of our dreams to life. If your connection to nature and Earth is an important pillar of your relationship, TCWL is an incredibly beautiful and special place to be married, surrounded by forest, creatures, and flowing water. We loved that most of our guests stayed on-site with us, making the weekend filled with special connection and friendship. All of our vendors were truly in awe of the beauty and authentic feel of the forest, the lodge, and Trout Creek as a whole. I am so happy that we got married at such a special place, and had the most beautiful experience to share with our loved ones!
