Magical Forest Wedding Venues You'll Want to Get Lost In
When it comes to selecting a wedding venue, there are lots of outdoor options to choose from – urban rooftops, charming courtyards, rolling hills of vineyards – and yet, the most majestic of all the choices is to go somewhere deep in the forest and exchange your vows under the trees. But how can you pull that off while still including all your loved ones? These forested venues have you covered. We’ve done the forest scavenging for you and come up with a glass greenhouse that’s tucked under a canopy of wattle trees, a log cabin in a redwood grove, a vintage summer camp in a forest and so much more.

25 of the Bay Area's Most Stunning Wedding Venues
Bay Area wedding venues are some of the most exclusive and sought after in the country, for good reason. Many of these breathtaking venues offer obviously beautiful amenities such as ocean or sprawling vineyard views while others are more subtle, like wedding toasts made with estate wines or the option to arrive at your ceremony by boat. A few of these wedding venues have been around for decades or even centuries, passed down from generation to generation, imbuing those spectacular spaces with a special kind of “marry-making” magic found in few other places. From intimate, mountainside canyon ranches to time worn winery ruins, organic apple orchards, architecturally significant turn-of-the-century buildings, waterfront lighthouses and oceanfront barns, here are 24 reasons to get married in the Bay Area. Planning a wedding? Offer your guests exclusive room rates (without making a room block!) with this link → Reporter: Katie Bush | Location: Peace Barn
