Weddings at Camp DeForest

Say “I do” with bunting, breezes, and a little summer magic.

There’s something unforgettable about getting married in the open air — beneath the trees, near the water, with nature as your backdrop and the people you love all around you.

At Camp DeForest, we host weddings that are heartfelt, a little offbeat, and entirely unforgettable. Think vintage camp charm meets weekend-long celebration — with cabins for your whole crew, canoe send-offs, and s’mores under the stars. 

 Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full-camp takeover, we’ll help you craft a celebration that feels like summer love — timeless, joyful, and full of personal touches.  

What's Included

Our wedding packages are designed to make things simple, flexible, and fun — just like camp should be.

The Full Camp Buyout
For those who want it all: exclusive access to all cabins, communal spaces, campfires, and activity areas for the whole weekend. Perfect for 50–100 guests.

The Day Camp Wedding
A one-day celebration with access to key outdoor spaces, including our ceremony lawn, and rustic lodge for dining, or a cozy indoor reception.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Canoe processionals across the bay

  • Campfire singalongs (complete with hot cocoa and classic tunes)

  • Late-night milk & cookies

  • Custom merit badges for your guests

  • Keepsakes for guests

  • Field day welcome parties

  • Cabin turndown kits with thoughtful touches

A Venue Like No Other

Camp DeForest isn’t just a venue — it’s an experience. We’re not a ballroom with bark on the walls. We’re the real thing:

  • Vintage bunks and honest-to-goodness flagpoles

  • Fireflies and field games

  • Storybook woods and swimming holes

If you grew up dreaming of camp — or just want a wedding that feels less like a production and more like a memory in the making — we’d love to host you.

Planning Made Easy

We offer:

  • Preferred local vendors who understand the camp spirit

  • On-site coordination and rehearsal support

  • Lodging for your guests

  • Activities and amenities to turn your wedding into a weekend to remember

    Enough lawn games to keep the kids (and the adults) busy all weekend

You can bring your own planner or let our seasoned team help guide you from the first planning call to the final canoe send-off
