Why You Should Plan a Spring Wedding or Elopement in Washington State

If you’re ready to tie the knot but unsure which season to choose for your dreamy forest wedding, consider this your nudge toward spring, the most underrated season in Pacific Northwest!

Throughout this blog, I’ve compiled a list of reasons why spring is an especially enchanting (and smart!) time of year to say “I Do” in western Washington. There are so many magical details that make spring weddings and elopements so unique.

If you’re feeling inspired to start planning your own wedding after reading, check out our Wedding Venue Open House this April! It’s an event where you can plan your forest wedding in just one day. Plus, you’ll receive a sweet discount on your wedding package. More information about the event and discount at the end of the blog.

The Forest

The first, and perhaps most important, aspect of a wedding is the location. At Treehouse Point, celebrations are held on our gorgeous forest property, surrounded by towering trees and nestled among our treehouses.

Spring weddings are also known as our “forest fairy weddings” because of how whimsical the property feels during this time of year. While the evergreens stay vibrant year-round, our deciduous plants make their grand return in spring, bringing the rest of the forest to life with color!

Notice how the ferns take on a brilliant shade of green, signaling new growth throughout the property. Flowers, such as the beautiful rhododendron, Washington’s state flower, begin to blossom in gorgeous shades of reds, pinks, and purples.

The Flowers

Our favorite flowers are in full bloom during the springtime! Peonies, tulips, daffodils, sweet peas, spring roses, lily of the valley, and lilacs all make their appearance, offering endless inspiration for bouquets that feel lush and beautiful.

Imagine your enchanting wedding dinner with each table featuring a beautiful floral centerpiece like this for your guests.

Take advantage of spring’s natural abundance and cut costs by choosing your favorite in-season dream florals.

3. The Weather

Spring in Washington State is ever-changing in the most romantic way. Some days feel moody and overcast, wrapping the venue in that classic Pacific Northwest charm, while others are bright and sunlit, bringing the colors of spring to life.

Temperatures are mild, which makes the season perfect for outdoor ceremonies tucked beneath the trees or by the river.

Picture you and your one true love posing for romantic portraits down by the river.

If rain does threaten to make an appearance, we have cozy indoor options like the Pond Room, or a collection of charming umbrellas for a cinematic moment on the lawn.

Western Washington is known for its gentle drizzle, but it’s rare for the sky to turn dark with a heavy storm. These soft, rainy moments feel the most romantic.

This photo was taken in late January, but I had to include a moody umbrella shot so you could see it in action. Now imagine the same scene bathed in the soft glow of a springtime forest. Utterly magical.

The Advantages of Good Timing

Early spring is often considered the “off season,” but we like to think of it as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept secrets.

Booking in early spring offers more flexibility in securing your ideal wedding date and vendor team, as it’s a quieter time of year for bookings.

Spring also brings clear, crisp air and bright, sunny days, with fewer bugs than in the height of summer.

These are the woodland paths you’ll follow to spend your wedding night tucked away in a treehouse, high among the canopies. Truly, this time of year adds a special type of magic to the venue.

And there you have it—some of our favorite reasons to book your wedding during this season of magic and renewal. Spring brings breathtaking beauty to the Pacific Northwest, and offers a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a quieter, more intimate season.

Welcome to Treehouse Point: Washington’s Dreamy Forest Escape

Tucked away in the lush, rolling forests of the Snoqualmie Valley is a cozy bed and breakfast unlike any other. Instead of ordinary rooms, guests are invited to stay in handcrafted treehouses, each situated in a forest canopy of their own.

Welcome to Treehouse Point.

How It All Began

When the urge to retreat to the wilderness calls, Treehouse Point answers, and has answered for the past twenty years!

It all began with a single treehouse, arguably our most iconic — Temple of the Blue Moon, completed in 2006. Once Temple of the Blue Moon was finished, guests were invited to stay in the trees, marking the start of a truly unique experience.

Over the next two decades, the team from Nelson Treehouse and Supply has brought to life ten enchanting stays, the the most recent being the LoveBomb, completed in 2024.

Treehouse Point is the culmination of Pete Nelson’s love for the forest and treehouse building, and Judy Nelson’s passion for entertaining. Full of whimsy, love, and woodland magic, the Nelsons invite you into the trees for a stay unlike any other.

What to Expect

After passing through the gate and parking in our intimate front gravel lot, the first structure you’ll see is a large, moss green building called the Lodge.

This is where you’ll be greeted by one of our helpful staff members and check in for your stay. Check-in is at 4pm and check out is at 11am.

Additionally, though any age can attend our guided property tours, overnight stays are exclusively for those age 16 and above to maintain a mature atmosphere. 

The Lodge

The Lodge is where your breakfast will be served every morning, made by our talented chefs at Treehouse Kitchen. Pick from the shelves of books and board games by the fireplace as you grab a cup of our freshly brewed Pete’s Treefort Coffee Club, made in collaboration with our favorite local coffee shop, Aroma Coffee.

A winding staircase at the back leads to the second floor of the building, where you’ll find our cozy Cedar Suite, a spacious room with a king-size bed, a private bath, and a balcony with sweeping forest views. 

The Treehouses

Once you’ve checked in, step outside and let the magic of the treehouse forest wash over you. Guests often say that they feel they’ve stepped into another world when they enter the back property, where seven thoughtfully crafted treehouses and two additional, one-of-a-kind accommodations await. 

While finding your treehouse, you may practice the art of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing.” This mindfulness exercise encourages people to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. This is a simple way to relax and fully soak in your surroundings.

While wandering the intertwining paths, notice our seven unique treehouses: Temple of the Blue Moon, Trillium, Burl, Nest, Upper Pond, Bonbibi, and Ananda. Each treehouse is equipped with a Chemex coffee station, plush robes, soft beds, and special details unique to each stay. 

Learn more about each treehouse here.

Additional Forest Accommodations

You’ve met the stunning Cedar Suite. Now, it’s time to meet our two other whimsical accommodations. Though these getaways are not treehouses, they are unique, carefully crafted forest stays full of personality. 

The first is Hideaway, a rustic structure tucked at the edge of our property for maximum privacy. Listen to the the Raging River flow over rocks as you sip your morning coffee on the sunchairs under Hideaway’s translucent porch roof.

The second accommodation is LoveBomb, a 60’s inspired love shack made from an upcycled army truck. Notice the four large wheels, landing deck, and bright red driver’s cabin.

Learn more about our additional accommodations here.

Wander, Explore, Unwind

The Snoqualmie Valley hosts a wide variety of excursions, from beautiful hiking trails to cozy open mic nights! Whether your idea of the perfect day includes exploring the valley or simply lingering in the trees a little longer, there’s bound to be something here for you. We encourage you to ask our team for their recommendations of nearby activities and restaurants.

Treehouse Point has a two-night minimum policy due to guest feedback that “one night is not enough!” This policy gives guests the chance to explore nearby towns, slow down, and discover new favorite hidden gems. There are some exceptions to the two-night rule, including Sunday nights and select promotions.

While here, indulge in our complimentary s’mores kits and use either our outdoor fire pit or the fireplace in the Lodge to roast marshmallows and chat.

Want to stay cozy in your treehouse? Order our CharcuterTREE board, a curated selection of seasonal fruit, artisan cheese, local meats and crackers, ahead of time to bring to your bed!

Romantic Getaways 

There’s nothing more romantic than an intimate escape into the wilderness. The Pacific Northwest is known for its dark, romantic atmosphere: misty mornings, lingering fog, and rain-soaked afternoons — Truly, an iconic lover’s retreat.

In fact, Treehouse Point was voted the Best NW Romantic Getaway in 2025 by readers of 425 Magazine!

To make your stay even more special, we offer amenities like our Romance in the Trees Package, which includes rose petals, prosecco or wine for two, artisan truffles, and a morning mimosa.

Our newest package is the Sparkles and Strawberries Package, complete with six house-made chocolate-covered strawberries, bottle of chilled premium champagne, and rose petals on the bed to set the mood.

Dreamy Wedding Destination

Set deep within the forest, Treehouse Point offers a sense of privacy and presence that feels rare and intentional. Due to the property’s concealment, the uniqueness of the treehouses, and the natural beauty of the surroundings, Treehouse Point is often described as a dream wedding destination. We host weddings, elopements, micro-weddings, and even retreats.

Ceremonies can take place outdoors on the green, surrounded by forest, or inside our cedar-lined Pond Room. On rainy days, couples often embrace the weather, whether that means moving indoors or celebrating outside beneath a canopy of umbrellas.

Learn more about our event packages here!
