Schmidt House Rental
Wedding couple at the Schmidt House.
The Schmidt House, as a historical venue, schedules a limited number of rental events per year. It is used by non-profit, cultural, educational and historic groups that support the mission of the Olympia Tumwater Foundation. Government, corporate and private individuals also use the home for meetings, retreats, weddings, anniversaries, and receptions.
Guests that use the house and grounds for their wedding parties rave about the beauty and peacefulness of the grounds and proclaim it to be the “perfect site.”
Features
Indoors the Schmidt House can accommodate approximately 65 people for sit-down dining or serve approximately 100 people buffet style. Outdoors the expansive grounds can accommodate up to 450 guests depending upon which location you choose.
Availability
We are not accepting Schmidt house reservations at this time due to ongoing renovations. Thank you.

While we do not recommend one vendor over another, we have listed businesses familiar with the Schmidt House who could offer you event planning needs. If you want to use a vendor that is not on this list, then by all means please do so!
