When looking for a wedding venue, the first place we toured was Nature's Connection. We made our decision the moment we stepped onto their beautiful property--we didn't need to tour any more venues. Andrew (the catering manager) and Lynda (the venue manager) were incredibly helpful and accommodating from the beginning. Their communication was prompt and their dedication towards our wedding did not go unnoticed. Thank you for advocating for us and helping us enjoy our special day, despite the craziness of it all.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The first time my husband and I walked through Nature's Connection, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. It was during their off season in March, but even in the light rain everything was so beautiful. Aside from how gorgeous the venue is, they are so easy to work with. Every person we talked to was so nice and wanted to make planning our wedding as easy and stress free as possible. Even the in-house catering had options that kept everything affordable and tasted absolutely amazing. They were very clear about each step along the way and would send reminder emails about each of the deadlines with enough time in advance to make sure everything got done. Day of they made sure we were given food and drinks and taken care of, as well as kept the event running smoothly. I would 100% recommend having your wedding here. Reviewed on 08-08-2023

Nature's Connection was the perfect venue for our wedding! It is absolutely stunning with so many places for photos. We knew the moment we stepped on the grounds, that this was where we wanted to be married. They even allowed us to have our dog be part of the wedding party. We worked closely with Lynda throughout the entire process. She is absolutely phenomenal, and was knowledgable and timely with each of her responses. We hired her to be our day of coordinator, which was one of our best decisions! She made sure everything felt seamless (to us, I know there were hiccups throughout the day, but I had no idea until after the fact). In addition, they provided a recommended vendor list. Every vendor that we used from the list exceeded our expectations. Reviewed on 14-07-2023
Megin Snyder(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2022 The venue is absolutely beautiful, and that's why we fell in love with it right away! The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the blood suckers that come out in full force at night. I had a feeling this would be a problem and was going to have a basket of mosquito spray for our guests, but Linda had said they sprayed twice recently prior to our 8/20/22 wedding. She said they weren't bad. I wish I had followed my instincts regardless because of the water on the property and heavy wooded area. We had a majority of guests leave because of the mosquito's unfortunately. That is the only thing I would have changed would be to have listened to myself and bought the darn bug spray!!

Tawnya Morse(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 Nature's Connection has my sincerest recommendation after having a wonderful experience hosting our wedding here in early June 2022. The fact that the property is now owned & managed by Lombardi's took a lot of the catering stress out of the equation. The management is very responsive, considerate, professional and warm. The venue itself is so beautiful and well-kept. They provided the tables, chairs, a large event tent, flatware, napkins, and more. The groom and bridal suites were simple and accommodating to our needs. I could go on and on about the fine details but if you are considering a venue in this area, you should reach out and schedule a tour to see it all for yourself! Reviewed on 19-11-2022

Brittany Johnsen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 Nature's Connection was amazing! I booked the venue in July of 2020. When the venue switched owners I was a little nervous. But it was absolutely seamless! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and everything was set up perfectly. It rained the ENTIRE day of the wedding but the crew set up for both under the tent and outdoor options. The moment the sun broke the staff went out and wiped down all the chairs so I got my beautiful outdoor ceremony. Everything about this venue was perfect. The bridal suite was great, the reception area was spacious enough to dance under when it started raining, the bar was perfect. And the grounds were so beautiful that I cannot stop looking at my photos. Reviewed on 22-10-2021
Christina Dragonetti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-05-2021 \"This place is so beautiful!\" - our guests couldn't stop saying all day.

The bridal house is great to get ready in: comfortable, with a full kitchen, and a great make-up/hair room. I just loved spending my wedding day in this jewel of a setting, and I felt like Kathy and her husband really took care of me and my guests. Reviewed on 18-05-2021

Tara Armendariz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 This place is amazing! We got married here in May this year (2019). Kathy is the absolute best; she is so helpful and really just incredibly sweet. We met with her just a handful of times over the 2 year planning process . Lol. The venue itself is stunning and offers a variety of backgrounds for pictures. They even have two different ceremony locations. It was super nice not to have to worry about table/chair and tent rentals - they have everything all set up when you arrive day of. The bridal suite was perfectly stocked with everything we needed while getting ready. The bar is really beautiful and functional. I really can't say enough great things about this venue; you can tell they take great care of the place.

We fell in love the instant that we saw it and met with them, and I’m so glad that we booked it right away. The upgrades and special touches they have added made our day beyond perfect. Kathy was basically a second coordinator for me too, as she helped with my table and chair set up, logistics, parking, and took a lot of stress off my plate. When we look back on our wedding day, the venue really made everything exactly what we wanted. Everyone who attended raved about it as well. You can’t go wrong with this venue! Reviewed on 22-02-2019

Allie Taylor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-08-2013 When I found this venue online I had no idea it was just a 10 minute drive away from me. When my mother and I drove out to the venue we were blown away by how beautiful the whole setting was. The ponds and bridges and fountains, the great view of the surrounding mountains plus the big white tent for the reception. It was like I had walked into my dream venue. The owners were great to work with, allowing us to bring all our own venders, letting us set up yard games, and decorate how ever we wanted. They were there to help run our rehearsal dinner and checked in frequently through out the night of the wedding to throw trash out and make sure everything was going great. Such a great couple to work with. They have done wonders with this venue and I would reccomend any bride close to the area or even far away to go take a look. You will not be dissapointed.

We looked long and hard and felt so blessed to find this place. It is beautiful and affordable, and they included so much that other venues either don't offer at all or charge you an arm and a leg for. Seriously, if you want an outdoor wedding on this side of Washington, give them a call and set up an appointment. You won't regret it. Reviewed on 07-09-2012
Jackie Way(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-08-2012 My husband and I did hours of research on wedding venues, and we were so lucky to get this venue! We visited with Kathy (who owns the place) and we just fell in love with the landscape, it was so gorgeous! Everyone who came to our wedding kept complimenting on how lovely the venue was.\r\rNature's Connection Place is very unique because they give you a 12 hour time frame, plus rooms to get dressed, parking, and a tent is set up for the reception in the summer! They also take care of the cleaning if you throw away your garbage. I recommend booking very far in advance. When my husband and I had our first tour of the grounds in January, they were already booked for Fridays and Saturdays for the whole summer and even in to September! So we chose a Sunday wedding, which also was cheaper than Saturday which is always a plus. Reviewed on 23-08-2012
Brandi Summers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2011 I used Nature's Connection Place for my August 2011 wedding.

There is a lot of space, green grass, trees & flowers, a pond with a waterfall and bridge, and views of the mountains. They have all the chairs and an arch there as well as a nice covered cement area with tables for the reception. There is a nice carriage house where we had our food for the reception.
