The cathedral-like atrium with its glass and wood is the dramatic centrepiece, where the sun pours in on glorious days or the fog rolls around the forest to create the misty romance of our Celtic forefathers.

Designed by award-winning architect Tim Heath, the ecosanctuary building lends itself to occasions of celebration. Up to 80 guests can dine in the stunning atrium and toast the bridal couple as the sun sets behind them on the Silverpeaks. Dance under the stars and the moon or sit on the magnificent deck and listen to the music of the night from the forest.

Let us share with you the beauty and magic of the Cloud Forest on your special day as you share this everlasting memory with your friends and family.
