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! We host two open houses per month January through October! You can find our open house dates here.

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 can be added at the time of booking or up to 90 days prior to your wedding day.

Contact us for more details and to check availability for your date. Day of Coordination is not required.

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 if you opt to pay our outside catering and bartending fee.

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 venue 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.

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. Real flower 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.

The Lodge reception space can be converted to an indoor ceremony in the event of rain. After the ceremony your guests will enjoy cocktail hour in the covered courtyard and gas fireplace area as your caterer moves furniture into place for the dinner hour. This change usually takes them about 15 minutes!

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.

Yes, we do allow shuttles! We recommend Butler Transportation. All shuttles do need to be 30 person or smaller.

Ubers, Lyfts, taxis and other rideshares all service our venue. We recommend having your DJ make an announcement 15 minutes before the event ends for guests to call rideshares if most guests will be using them.

Yes, there is a large parking lot at The Lodge that accommodates up to 120 cars.

There are many options! Many couples use the grand staircase for each person in the processional while others have their family and bridal party come from the side of the reception space (either side works!) and the couple from the staircase. You are welcome to choose any option that works best for you!
