The wedding will be held on the shores of Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park at Nature Bridge Camp. This location holds special meaning to us and we look forward to sharing the beauty and magic of this place with you.
We have taken many trips hiking, kayaking, swimming, and camping around Lake Crescent. It is one of our favorite places in the Pacific Northwest. The photograph above was taken during our first trip together to the area. We hiked to the top of Mt. Storm King which overlooks Lake Crescent and the Nature Bridge Campus. Little did we know at the time that we were looking down on the location of our future wedding.
You are invited to stay at the camp as our guests for the wedding weekend but it is not required. NatureBridge is first and foremost a camp and not necessarily a wedding venue so think rustic. Think summer camp style accommodations with bunkbeds and a shared bathhouse.
The standard cabins are heated and air-conditioned. Each cabin has four or six private rooms and each room sleeps two to six guests. Some cabins have their own restrooms and showers while others are located adjacent to a shared bathhouse. Each wedding guest party or family will have a private room (as pictured below).
In addition to lodging, meals will be provided for the duration of your stay at the camp. We hope you can join us for the whole weekend but we are also happy to welcome you to the ceremony and reception on Saturday.
If you prefer more private or traditional accommodations there are other options in the area. See the "Travel" page for more details. We reserved a small block of rooms at the historic Lake Crescent Lodge for those people that prefer more traditional accommodations. The lodge is a 10 min walk from the camp along the lake. Please let us know if you want to book one of these limited number of rooms. You are also welcome to make your own reservation but they sell out fast and reservations open 366 days before the date of your arrival.
