The Lodge at Trinity Tree Farm

We have wood benches for the ceremony lawn and white padded chairs and round and rectangle tables in the reception area for 150 guests. The rental includes setup and take down of the reception tables and chairs as you request. The ceremony benches cannot be moved.

Please contact us for current pricing. We celebrate weddings during the late winter, spring, summer and early autumn months (March 1 to November 1).

Please email us to schedule a time to visit or visit us at an open house!

Yes, you, your vendors, family and friends are welcome to attend any and all open houses!

We have three coordinators onsite who provide rehearsal and day-of-coordination. Please note this service is based on availability and their calendars fill quickly. Contact us for more details and to check availability for your date.

A member of our staff will check you in in the morning for setup and give you a phone number for any assistance needed. Then, from one hour prior to your event start time, there will be a venue coordinator on the property. Please note the venue coordinator does not play a role in the wedding day coordination, and is onsite to resolve issues related to the venue itself. If you require a coordination assistance, please book one of our Day of Coordinators, or you are permitted to bring in your own planner.

Yes, you may bring in an outside licensed and insured caterer and bartender with our outside catering and bartending fee of $750. We do require your caterer and bartender to provide a certificate of insurance two weeks prior to the wedding date. If you use a caterer/food truck or bartender from our preferred vendor list this fee is waived.

We require all catering staff to stay for the entirety of the event. If your selected caterer does not have staffing we do ask that you hire service staff from a staffing company such as Banquet Boss or Pacheco’s.

You are welcome to bring in whomever you please for other vendors (DJ, florals, dessert, coordinator, photographer, etc.) We have great recommendations on our preferred vendor list for these as well!

We require a deposit of 50% of the fee upon booking. The remainder is due 90 days prior to your event.

We require a damage deposit of $500. This is requested as a separate check or credit card authorization and will be shredded after the event and the property has been inspected for any potential damage and returned to its original state.

1. In the event of a cancellation, less than 90 days prior to the event, all payments made to date are non-refundable if Trinity Tree Farm.

2. In the event of a cancellation of the special event greater than 90 days prior to the event date, only the deposit will be nonrefundable.

Vendors typically arrive based on the amount of time they need to setup pertinent to their roles on the timeline of the day or contracted number of hours, so you will need to work directly with each vendor on their timing.

You are in charge of removing all items you brought in with you to the venue, and leaving the venue in a respectable condition upon checking out at the end of the evening. This includes removing throwing items, leftover decorations.

Please note we do not hold lost and found at our venue and request a contact from your party be responsible for found items.

We allow beer, wine and hard alcohol to be self-provided by our clients and require that you have a professional licensed and insured bartender to serve all alcohol drinks at your event to guests. We do not allow shots.

We have one keg fridge for use (any additional kegs will require a hand pump, tub and ice). It fits a full size keg (half barrel) and smaller (quarter barrel). We have two wine fridges available as well. All included in the venue rental fee.

We have benches for the ceremony area; and for the Lodge reception, white folding padded chairs, up to 15- 72” round tables (seat 10 at each table), 10- 6’ banquet tables for the head table and for extra use tables (DJ, buffet, and cake table) and 5 cocktail tables (two of which must stay in the smoking area). We also have a white farmhouse table at the entrance for your guestbook and gifts. Please note this cannot be moved.

The arbor is six feet wide, seven feet tall and six inches deep. We have pre-hung hooks in each corner of the arbor, and we allow thumbtacks and zip ties on the arbor for additional securing of items. Please note it is permanently attached to the ground and cannot be moved.

We have a list of professional vendors we can recommend for those services, or you can bring in your own vendor, however we do recommend hiring professionals to give you the best possible service for your wedding day.

We ask that you use thumbtacks and zip ties to secure your decorations on the arbor. We have hooks pre-hung in the reception venue for securing decorations. No thumbtacks or nails may be used in the reception venue. Any signs, etc. that need to be staked into the ground must be pre-approved in order to protect the sprinkler system.

Our Event Manager will send you a pre-wedding checklist prior to your wedding, so we are aware of your plans and can make your day seamless. This is due two weeks prior to your wedding.

We allow flower petals for throwing items, however you are responsible for cleaning them up. Artificial and large petals are recommended. Other throwing items need to be pre-approved by our Event Manager.

All music and announcements should be played through professional speakers. We have professional DJs and bands that we can recommend to you for this. If you require video, please have your DJ bring in projection equipment as well.

There are power sources that will bear a sufficient load for your event and we have a specific power outlet that is sufficient for your Band/DJ in the Lodge. Music is permitted outside on the lawn for the ceremony only and then must be moved inside for the remainder of the evening.

The Lodge floor is suitable for dancing without laying an additional floor.

All real candles must be on tables and be in a container that is higher than the flame to catch wax. This includes taper candles in cylinders. If it’s on the ground, it needs to be LED and not in a glass container (they get kicked over and they shatter).

Fireworks are not permitted on the property. Sparklers are permitted only if a Trinity Tree Farm Day of Coordinator is contracted for your wedding.

The gas fire pit is lit one hour prior to your event and is for decorative purposes only. The wood burning fire pit on the lawn is permitted for s'mores. We provide the firewood, and you provide all of the other s’mores items, including skewers. We follow King County burn ban restrictions.

You can change over the barn if it's raining from your ceremony to reception.  The Barn is divided into three parts by posts. We set the tables up on the outer portions of the posts and set the chairs for an indoor ceremony.

When your guests move to cocktail hour, we encourage movement to the loft and patio areas, and during that time the catering staff will reset the room. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes to do so as long as your table décor is simple.

If you expect it to rain on your wedding day, we recommend having Trinity Tree Farm’s Day of Coordinator onsite to make this process run smoothly.

We have a designated smoking area for guests (this includes cigars). We follow Washington State law for smoking items allowed on the property.

Yes they always stay up! We put them up just for weddings! Please do not hang anything from our twinkle lights or chandeliers.

Trinity Tree Farm is pet friendly! We just ask that you clean up after your furry friends!

We do not have an ice machine onsite. The Tall Chef will provide this for your event. If you require ice for wedding preparations, the nearest convenience store for ice is Tiger Mountain Country Store (14331 Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast, Issaquah, WA 98027).

We have 15 rustic log slices that can be used for your centerpieces at no charge. We do not keep specific inventory, but there are typically 15 of these for use and they are about 1.5 feet in diameter. 

We are located at 14237 228th Ave SE, Issaquah, WA 98027. For detailed directions, visit our Contact page or use your favorite maps app to navigate to Trinity Tree Farm.
