THE LODGE

The Lodge at Trinity Tree Farm nestled in a 40 acre Christmas tree farm
 

The Lodge at Trinity Tree Farm is the ideal venue for hosting memorable celebrations for up to 150 seated guests. Situated on a serene 40-acre hilltop in Issaquah, Washington, the Lodge boasts 20 acres of exclusive privacy, providing a picturesque and tranquil setting for your special event.

Ceremony Lawn

Our ceremony lawn is the perfect setting for your ceremony—with dark brown wood benches and arbor to frame your happy day. You can also choose to have your wedding indoors, with French doors that open up to the same beautiful view.  We have hooks over the French doors to hang your floral arrangements for indoor ceremonies, or you can bring in your own arbor.

Event Space

The Lodge event space is a bright and airy 3800 square foot reception space--perfect for celebrations of all kinds. The Lodge has a built in bar area, two fire pits- one gas fire pit for ambiance, and one wood burning fire pit for s’mores.

There are two dressing suites in a modern craftsman style home. The 800 square foot top floor suite contains preparation areas for hair and makeup, two restrooms and large private deck that overlooks the reception venue. The second 800 square foot dressing area is on the main floor of the house, complete with a pool table, foosball, dressing room and cable TV for relaxing! This suite can be opened up for guests to enjoy as well, and transitions into the perfect indoor option for a cocktail hour in the case of inclement weather.

Celebration Menus

The Tall Chef catering service is known for its exceptional catering offerings at the Lodge, specializing in buffet, family-style, and plated meals. When you reserve the Lodge for your event, you can collaborate closely with the Tall Chef team to curate a menu tailored to your preferences. You'll have the opportunity to schedule a tasting session to ensure that every dish meets your satisfaction. We also partner with select food trucks for a creative spin on your meal as well!

  • We allow alcohol to be self-provided by our clients, and require that you have a professional bartender to serve drinks at your event to guests 21 and over.

    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.

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

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

  • You can change over the Lodge if it's raining from your ceremony to reception.  We will pre-set the tables up on the outer portions of the event space and set the chairs in the center of the room with an aisle for an indoor ceremony. We have hooks over the french doors for your florals, or you are welcome to bring in a portable arbor.

    When your guests move to cocktail hour, we encourage movement to the house and covered patio areas, and during that time your 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.
