Forest Wedding Venue Ideas

You know I’m always keeping it real with you. I was informed by an SEO expert that Forest Wedding Venue was a top search term. So here I am, trying to capitalize on that! These venues will be DC-area venues since that is my expertise! Of course, there are not many forest wedding venues in this pretty urban (and suburban) area. But I think that there are a few wedding venues that are really pretty and fit the bill.

If you love perusing wedding venue lists, check out all my wedding venue lists here!

Maryland Forest Wedding Venues

Woodend Mansion, a very popular wedding venue, has a wooded grove where you can orient your wedding ceremony towards either end. One has a stone riser, and the other does not. Woodend is located in Bethesda, Maryland, and can accommodate about 170 guests. The reception area is a large historic building paired with a tented patio.

Rockwood Manor is a wedding venue in Potomac, Maryland, with an area where you can tent for your reception that has a forest-y vibe!

Virginia Forest Wedding Venues

Hendry House in Arlington, Virginia, is a wedding venue with a forest-like area where you can get married in front of this truly stunning built-in arch. Or you can set up your reception tent in this wooded area.

If you are willing to travel to Orkney Springs for a true Virginia destination wedding and are looking for Dirty Dancing summer camp vibes, Shrine Mont is for you. And they have a wedding ceremony location that is definitely in a forest!
