Columbia Gorge Wedding Venue Guide

December 31, 2021

Planning your wedding at a venue in the Columbia River Gorge gives you access to one of the most unique landscapes in all of the Pacific Northwest. Endless waterfalls are accompanied by ideal destinations for your wedding or elopement.

The venues we recommend emerge you in the Columbia Gorge, often with mountain vistas of Mt. Hood or Mt. Adams, and in some occasions both. You and your guests won’t miss a second of the beautiful micro-climate and nationally recognized scenic area.

Don’t forget to take a look at our honorable mentions at the bottom.

The Perch at TenZen Springs & Garden

Arguably our favorite view of the Columbia Gorge. This venue also includes micro cabins with geothermal soaking tubs, with water sourced 3,000 ft beneath the property. Talk about the ideal place to stay with your fiance’!

Skamania Lodge

Skamania Lodge offers our most inclusive venue in the list. There are plenty of rooms for you and your guests to stay and ample things to experience in the heart of the Gorge.

Mt. Hood Organic Farms

Mt. Hood Organic Farms provides one of the most fantastic views in the area with one of the closest vistas of Mt. Hood in the background. The venue itself is stunning as the owners have hand build and hand styled the classic barn where guests often dance or have the reception.

Bridal Veil Lakes

If the Columbia Gorge doesn’t make you feel enough like you’re in a different part of the planet, then Bridal Veil Lakes will take you to a whole other world. Truly one of the most naturally beautiful places in the whole region, this venue also provides a unique wedding experience with optional entrance by canoe and a stunning location for the ceremony.

Gorge Crest

Located on a 40 acre vineyard-forest with 3 acres of lavender and an epic vista of Mt. Hood, Gorge Crest is a simply cinematic venue. A bridal suite with a perfect view lends the whole day from start to finish over the dreamy landscape. A wisteria pergola and a southern-facing reception hall is a romantic backdrop for your perfect day.

The Orchard

The Orchard showcases the most unique vista out of our whole list, as it features views of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams at the venue. They provide in-house catering and wedding planning, making organizing your wedding day a breeze.

The Griffin House

At the Griffin House you get the experience of being fully immersed in the Columbia Gorge. Perched on the cliffs of Hood River, this venue overlooks a sweeping view of the Columbia River. You can bring all your own vendors if selecting your favorite crew is important for your day.
