The Rustic Fern is really something special! I was in the bridal party for a wedding here, and the owners were really accommodating throughout the whole weekend. The girls had a great space upstairs to get ready at, and the boys had their own barn with a pool table and darts which was so fun for them! The location was really private, and it was the most beautiful spot for a wedding!

All in all this venue was incredible. Nevaeh was incredible and made this day a complete success. We signed the contract in early 2024 and our contact left the venue and we were left with zero contact for about 5 months. Thank goodness Nevaeh was hired because she was a fantastic asset for our wedding. The food was hot, plentiful, and delicious with amazing service. The views left guests speechless and we are grateful to have had such a perfect Wedding day in July 2025. Very sad to hear Nevaeh accepted a new job and is leaving at the end of 2025. I'm not sure many people could handle everything as gracefully as she did.

My partner and I got married in September 2024 at Rivers Edge. We selected this location because we wanted an outdoor wedding and the grounds and river were a perfect space for us. The accommodations of the slab, tent, tables, chairs, and lights were all integral to our wedding being a success. Tanya is a down to Earth person and we are as well, so that worked very well for us. Tanya was always responsive and accommodating. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the grounds and the space. Everything was easy to manage and clean up. I can't recommend enough if you want a nice, chill wedding or event with beautiful nature surrounding you with creature comforts like the get-ready rooms, slab tent, and generator for power. Also close enough to town/stores in case you forgot anything you needed!

We mainly worked with Jena and Kevin throughout the planning process and they were both phenomenal. Answered all of our questions, always jumped on a call if we requested, and accommodated any special requests. Throughout the weekend, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring every detail was taken care of to make our special day go smoothly. The venue itself is an amazing space - the stunning mountain and river views provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and reception. We loved that all of our guests could comfortably stay on-site, and there were so many activities for them to enjoy, like the spa, pool, hiking trails, and organic garden. It's less than 10 minutes to downtown Leavenworth, next door to a horseback riding stable, and less than 3 minutes from a golf course.

We LOVED our wedding at IslandWood! I worked on the events team at IslandWood from 2019-2021, before shifting careers completely. I always loved to work the weddings, and imagined that my dream wedding would be there one day. I am so so happy that I was able to make that dream come true!! IslandWood goes above and beyond to make the guests' and bride & groom's experiences absolutely perfect! I personally already knew the food would taste amazing, as I used to always eat the leftovers when I worked there. But eating food from a menu that my husband and I got to custom design with Jim was truly an unforgettable experience. All of the guests loved the food, and Jim and his team tackle every request that you throw their way! My husband is Dominican, and Jim made sure that the Dominican food he made was authentic and delicious. At one point, my husband's aunts asked whether a Dominican was working in the kitchen! Moreover, Erica, our event planner, went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect weekend! IslandWood is a magical place, and your wedding will be magical if you choose to have it there. Yes, it is pricey, but the experiences that you, your family, and your friends will leave with are truly invaluable!
