Fern Acres, located in Washington State's Pacific NW on the Olympic Peninsula in the town of Forks, WA. Situated on 5 acres of naturally forested land it is the perfect location for the secluded magical forest wedding or elopement of your dreams. The wood benched ceremony area will seat 150, as you exchange vows in the fairytale setting of moss-covered old growth stumps, hundreds of ferns, and moss draped vine maples.
This lush private oasis is tucked in a magical spot in the Pacific Northwest rainforest. Every inch of the property is breathtaking, from the Asian and English-influenced gardens to the untamed natural beauty of the surrounding woods. Exchange vows in a picture-perfect garden or secluded forest. The garden has a quaint gazebo and space to tent the ceremony area so you can still wed outside even if it's raining.

PERFECT WEDDING VENUE! Tena is wonderful! She let us come view the venue 3 times during Covid before getting married. If you are looking for a forested outdoor area don't look any further! It was a total… twilight dream! At one point we thought we lost all our cups and out walks Tena with a bunch in her hands ready to help! Can't recommend this place enough!!!

Tena is amazing! She is super responsive, did a virtual tour of the venue for us because we couldn't travel during the lockdown and her venue is absolutely beautiful! It is clean, very well kept and it is obvious that she takes pride in this beautiful slice of the forest. She was very flexible with our requests and was super understanding which I… really appreciate as we are not from the area. She welcomed us on to her property and I cannot say enough about the hospitality that we received. It was super easy to book and the amenities that are included were an added bonus. By far the best

We booked the venue for 2020 and Tena was wonderful enough to allow us to reschedule for 2021 d/t the virus.(We did come from the Midwest). We just had our daughters wedding yesterday and we all saw the venue for the first time on Friday. Breathtaking and a little over whelmed with how beautiful it was. Tons of space, good lighting, plenty of facilities for getting ready and using the restroom. Multiple places to recite vows and TONS of photo ops! The hostess,Tena, is very attentive and available for questions, concerns, advice and last minute add one. I would recommend this venue 100%!!

We just had my daughter’s wedding last night. We are from out of state and had not seen the venue. I was in awe of how beautiful and mystical the whole venue was. Tena has more than one place available to recite vows and the reception area is huge and extremely gorgeous with chandeliers hanging from the top! It is just 5 minutes away from the center of town so getting back and forth was not an issue. Tena was there for questions and advice as needed. Ya’ll, would recommend you check this venue out before booking anywhere else!

Looked at Fern Acres for our wedding venue and it's a gorgeous place. Even in the winter when a lot of the garden is sleeping, you can tell how amazing the grounds are. The owner, Tena, was great to work with. The venue is very reasonably priced and includes a tent, tables, chairs, lighting, and a lot of decor amongst many other things. Lots of places for guests and plenty of parking. I'd have given it 5 stars except we needed more of a prep space for our catering. It's best for full service caterers or food trucks. You could definitely do self-catering, but it would be a little more challenging
