For the outdoorsy couple, the Killens Pond Nature Center is an ideal venue for your special day. This serene, natural setting is home to many native species of wildlife and vegetation. The Killens Pond Nature Center design complements the surrounding environment rather than interfering with it. The center is located alongside the pond and at the edge of the park’s forest, creating a gorgeous backdrop for wedding portraits. The view of the pond and the covered outdoor decks connect your guests with the natural features of the park. Enjoy a romantic outdoor ceremony in the state park and then move to the center for an intimate reception. Guests will be able to enjoy cocktail hour while mingling on the covered observation deck or move inside and learn a bit by viewing the large collection of native reptiles and amphibians in the separate exhibit area. Inside the LEED accredited building the modern conference room will be transformed by décor of your choice that reflects your own unique style. Guests will be able to enjoy a sumptuous dinner while toasting to your happiness and enjoying views of the pond through the expansive windows.
