When you book an event at The Nature Place, you’re not just celebrating, you’re choosing to make a difference. Every event hosted in our space helps support environmental education, free community programs, and land stewardship efforts. Whether planning a wedding, birthday party, shower, or corporate retreat, your rental directly contributes to nature-based learning and accessible outdoor experiences for our entire community.
Weddings & Receptions
The Nature Place is a breathtaking venue for your special day. Our wedding packages, available on Saturdays and Sundays, offer couples the choice of an outdoor ceremony on our scenic 5-acre property or an indoor celebration in our spacious, light-filled Atrium. With space for up to 150 guests, our venue provides the perfect setting for a sit-down meal, lively dancing, and unforgettable moments. We welcome you to bring in your own food, collaborate with a caterer, and customize your experience with the vendors of your choice. More than just a venue, hosting your wedding with us supports our mission of connecting people with nature in a deeply personal and meaningful way.
Birthday Party Packages
Make your child’s birthday extra special with a nature-themed celebration! We have packages for 3-hour parties with a Nature Place Naturalist to lead games, provide crafts, and showcase our critters through exciting themes like Snazzy Snakes, Tantalizing Turtles, or Lovely Lizards. Every birthday party helps fund free environmental education programs for local kids, making each party a real reason to celebrate.
