From the reviews

We got married here in 2015. The park is absolutely beautiful. The views of the sound, narrows bridge, fox island, McNeil island, everything. It's the perfect place to go on a sunny summer day. It's a great park to get married in. We had our reception at the rec center up the hill.

My daughter got married here. It is s small scenic view park. No play ground, just a great place to go and take in the view of the Olympic Mountain Range. Just admire the beauty of the Fathers Creation.

★★★★★ — Trisha, Jun 2018

Sunset views over the water, park benches, green grass, the quiet life of Steilacoom. Looking out from the park you can see McNeil Island, North Tacoma, & the Narrows Bridge. This is by far one of my favorite sunset views in town. Integrate this spot into your next date night.

★★★★★ — Edwin, May 2024

Icing on the cake for this small, out of the way waterfront town. The cozy park is the perfect place to watch a beautiful sunset, walk around hand-in-hand with your date, lie down on the lawn, have a picnic and breathe in the ocean air or even have an intimate wedding overlooking the Sound.

Getting married at Pioneer Orchard Park

Pioneer Orchard Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
