    Beautiful location. It was a perfect wedding ❤️

    I cannot recommend this place enough. What you get for the price is amazing. Those in charge are wonderful and easy to work with. It was a great experience and I could not ask for more. Thank you Historic Trust!

    The perfect venue

    From the very moment we showed interest in using this venue, all of the communication was timely and super helpful. Acquiring this venue was the easiest part of wedding planning.

    Providence Academy

    We had an absolutely perfect wedding at Providence Academy! The venue is beautiful with lots of great places for pictures. The staff were extremely helpful and very responsive to our every need. We received so many compliments from our guests telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they had attended.

    Great space for wedding

    We had our wedding here and it was absolutely amazing. Kaylee our organizer made sure everything was set up and ready to be decorated. Truly a magical space for a wedding. The historical space was was such a special touch needing limited decorations. 10/10 would recommend.

    Beautiful Venue at a Great Price!

    Highly recommend using one of the Historic Trust's venues for your wedding! We had ours at Providence Academy and had an incredible day. The venue is gorgeous, the staff are extremely communicative, friendly, and helpful, and the rental fee was super reasonable for everything that was included. We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue and are so happy with how everything went.

    Amazing, Beautiful and Breathtaking!

    We absolutely fell in love with this place when we were looking at venues. Mary was an absolute joy to work with! She was always available to talk when we needed to, she was super helpful in answering all our questions as well as working with our vendors that we brought in!! We got married in the Artillery Barracks, and the grounds were breath taking! We are definitely looking forward to going back in the years to come and enjoy all the memories we made here!!

    Perfect Christmas Wedding

    Our Christmas wedding at the Marshall House was absolutely beautiful! Every step of the process working with the Historic Trust was so smooth and easy, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We had a small wedding of 50 people, all indoors, and it was more than enough space! Plus, they decorate for Christmas, so we didn't have to do much work to make it festive and beautiful. Bottom line: you cannot beat this price, and we had a magical experience!

    The Historic Trust's reply:

    Hi Alison,

    Thank you so much for your kind review! We had an absolute blast working with you and Jordan. Thank you for choosing to celebrate such an important day at The Marshall House! Congratulations! :)

    Excellent Venue

    Held a wedding for 80 people at the Red Cross Building. The staff was amazing. They answered all my questions, provided excellent suggestions, and set up the room exactly as I wanted. The building is beautiful and well maintained.

    Wedding at Red Cross Building

    Super beautiful event space for our small wedding! It was much cheaper than lots of other venues in the area but so beautiful and easy to book and work with!

    An absolutely perfect day!

    The Red Cross Building at the Historic Trust was the perfect venue for our wedding of 60. The event staff was prompt, easy to communicate with, and very professional. The Red Cross Building is historic and beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for the romantic vibe we were going for. There was plenty of parking right across from the building. THe bridal suite was classy and perfect for our wedding party. We were gifted with beautiful weather so we could also use the patio. The multiple french doors opened wide to the fresh air and sunshine. Our wedding day was perfect!

    The Historic Trust's reply:

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Katie! :) I had such a great time working with you and couldn't be happier to hear that you had an amazing day. Thank you for choosing to celebrate here with us at The Trust. :)

    Amazing Wedding experience

    We had the most amazing wedding at the marshall house! Mary was so helpful with our booking, tours, and questions along the way! Our wedding day helper did our table transistions and made everything go smoothly! They gave us plenty of privacy to enoy our day. We had a wedding of about 50 people on 2.22.2022

    I had my wedding at the Marshall house and it was a wonderful experience. They were extremely helpful always answering my questions and accommodated all my requests. It's a beautiful home which has been immaculately preserved for 127 years. Filled with antiques and art of the Victorian era. Basically a mini museum. And the best part was they were 40% of the cost of other similar venues. Extremely affordable being that it is federal property not local or private that keeps the cost down. I love our national park system!

    We had the worst time trying to find a venue in Vancouver that we could have an outdoor wedding and stay past 10 pm. I wasn't sold at first on The Marshall House but after much discussion I agreed it would work for our wedding and reception. The staff is very accomodating and professional. They have a lot of great ideas, and feedback. They have done this a few times:) It ran SO smoothly and was more than I could have asked for. Frances is amazing and so easy to work with. If you need anything she is a HUGE help!!!!

    We loved our venue! Everyone thought it was so beautiful. I couldn't be happier! We had fairly short notice, and they worked with us for deposits. The service was excellent!

    We walked in the door to tour and just said WOW. The home is beautiful and just happened to fit the color scheme we had selected. My husband was in the military at the time and we got a discount so that made it a sweet deal for us. If you are planning to have an intimate wedding I highly recommend checking out this facility. We were married on a September evening before the open front doors with the sun setting behind the trees, just beautiful and memorable.

    This place is so beautiful! Perfect for an outside ceremony. Not much room for dancing but you can make it work!
