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.

Rustic Retreat Wedding on The Canadian Shores
The Scoop Galiano Island is a magical place. It’s all about cabins on cliffs, driving slow, hiking through coastal rainforests, and getting your morning coffee at the one bakery in town. You’ll find this gem via a short (and incredibly scenic) ferry ride from Vancouver or Victoria, or if you want to arrive in style, via a floatplane. Perched atop a cliff is Eagle’s Nest Retreat—a beautiful property with an unbeatable view of the ocean. You’ll arrive via a winding road through the forest and once here, you’ll never want to leave.
