Our Overall Rating: 3/5 Stars
With the stunning surroundings, it’s no wonder why couples choose to host their weddings at Shangri-La on the Green. Like the name implies, this venue is surrounded by the beautiful forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest. Your wedding photos and videos will feel positively magical as you and your new spouse pose in front of waterfalls and the nearby river. But keep in mind the secluded and forest vibes also come with accessibility issues for some guests.
