‘Married at First Sight’ films at farm outside Issaquah

Season 20 of the show is set in Seattle.

A farm near Squawk Mountain is an important backdrop in season 20 of the Peacock reality show “Married at First Sight,” which premiered July 12.

Trinity Tree Farm is located just east of the East Renton Highlands, with an Issaquah address. Tucked away in the foothills, it is a popular wedding and event venue, as well as a 40-acre Christmas tree farm.

In September 2025, Trinity also briefly became a filming location, as “Married at First Sight” shot four of the season’s seven weddings at the farm. The farm is shown early in the show; as the name suggests, the show’s premise is wedding first, everything else after.

Venue manager Danielle Hull said Trinity has two venues, each sitting on 20 acres, and the “Married at First Sight” team rented out both for a week.

“None of the producers had really seen this much green before because they’re all from [Los Angeles],” Hull said.

Hull said the Trinity team was not involved in filming of the show, but they did have to set up the venue for the production team’s needs.

She also said The Tall Chef catering from Seattle provided meals for the production crew, as well as the meals for the weddings themselves.

Hull, who has been a viewer of the show for a while, said “there was a lot of buzz going around” when the Trinity team got the call that the show’s producers wanted to check out the farm.

“All of the producers came to do a walkthrough before anything was finalized, and they fell in love with the venue,” she said. “Our venue feels really remote, but we’re only about 10 minutes from downtown Issaquah, so it’s convenient. But the crew could still be hidden, which was definitely a benefit for them.”

One of Trinity’s day-of coordinators, Michelle Nguyen, had an extra connection to the show, as her sister knows one of the brides and was a wedding guest. She noted that there are a lot of aspects of the wedding that don’t make it into the final cut of the show.

“It was really fun seeing all the details come together,” Nguyen said. “The wedding was an all-day affair, even though only a small portion made it onto the show. Watching the production crew work and seeing how everything came together was definitely eye-opening.

At the same time, I still found myself naturally filling in some of the gaps where I felt production may have missed things — whether that was taking care of vendors, checking in on guests or making sure all the little details behind the scenes were handled. It gave me an even greater appreciation for everything that goes into making a wedding run smoothly beyond what you actually see on TV.”

As the show comes to an end — the last episode will air Aug. 27 — Hull said she hopes Trinity can remain a backdrop for the couples who got married there.

“For the couples that stay together, we’d love for them to make finding a Christmas tree at our farm a tradition,” she said.
