Hoyt Arboretum

Situated only a few miles from downtown Portland, the Hoyt Arboretum offers one of the most exceptional outdoor wedding venues in the area! Established in the late 1920’s as a conservation effort, this 189-acre patch of land boasts stately mature trees, flourishing flowers, and even endangered plants. Imagine exchanging your vows in the wedding meadow, a rustic wooded glen that offers a scenic ceremony site and a secluded wilderness feel. Those who have loftier dreams can say their “I do’s” on the redwood deck, a gorgeous wood deck nestled among the towering redwoods and sequoias. Enjoy a delightful reception in the Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center, a woodsy yet contemporary space featuring giant windows looking upon the blooming flowers and trees. For an outdoor celebration, host an elegantly casual dinner beneath the Stevens Pavilion Picnic Shelter, surrounded by beautiful Douglas firs. If you are hoping to channel the beauty and serenity of the wilderness only a few miles from the city, then look no further than Hoyt Arboretum!
