I cannot say enough great things about this venue. I had a chaotic last min cancellation with my…read morewedding venue, and was panicking. I found them and they were the most kind, accommodating, and wonderful people and they got me my day booked no problem. I didn't see the space till the day of because I live out of state, and I was sort of nervous, but WOW did it exceed any expectations I had. It's perfect for small intimate weddings, and I would imagine would be excellent for everything from family reunions to large baby showers! The industrial kitchen is great, spacious and I adored that it has a large window into the space with a ledge you can put food on or use to pass out dishes to the generously sized buffet table they provide. The fireplace inside was also one of my favorite features. We were married in front of it and the space came with couches and chairs (very nice ones) that were situated around it as a seating area so we used them for our immediate family's seats during the ceremony and it felt really cozy and turned out nice in photographs. The mantle is also huge! I'll post a photo for reference but it's over 6' tall and very wide. The whole space has this great rustic feeling to it, and there are several beautiful mounts around of various animals from fish to pheasants and deer/ other deer like animals (I wasn't familiar with their species but they're absolutely beautiful.) The space also has a very nice pool table that was lots of fun for my guests! Outside the views are spectacular! If you are sitting at the fire pit in one direction it's rolling hills as far as you can see, and from another on a clear day there's a mountain. There's also a very cute apple orchard that backs up to the lodges property. The fire pit itself is huge and is paved really nicely all the way to the doors of the space so you don't have to walk on grass or anything to access it. The owners met me at the space in the morning to show me around, and that particular day they were doing some lawn maintenance so I got to meet the whole crew. It's a family owned space and they had their adult children helping out with getting the chairs and tables ready for us. I loved that so much, not just because they are all so sweet and genuinely happy to have you there, but because it feels so personal! In addition to this space we rented out a huge lodge right down the road that the family owns as well. I would highly, highly recommend asking them about It if you're lodging out of town family like I was. They can direct you to the listing on Airbnb which has great photos and reviews. They are both newer spaces to being rented out so they are still collecting reviews from people, but I can't sing the praises of both of the spaces enough. Please do yourself a favor and consider this place for your event. If I could give extra stars I would, thank you guys so much!! My guests were talking all night about how beautiful the whole place was and I'm still glowing with gratitude and joy from my entire experience renting from them.

I've attended 2 outdoor weddings there along with a Christmas event. Gorgeous. There's a huge lodge on site with views out every window. The lodge holds an industrial kitchen for catering.

At one wedding we attended, the groom arrived via airplane. It was quite an entrance. We will be holding our daughter's wedding there near the apple orchard. With the weather in Oregon, we'll be setting up tents. They are constantly making improvements so I'm excited to see what new things will be done.

I tried their Thanksgiving "Sides-Giving" in 2024 to ease my stress level of preparing a perfect turkey & side dishes. Alpine Events provided me such an impressive spread for my guests! Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, their roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes with gravy had everyone swooning. And their relish tray was so thoughtfully put together, fresh and HUGE! I stashed that cranberry / raspberry spread just for myself, late at night, atop those delightful rolls. So good. Bonus: When I picked up my order, I was astounded at how lovely their dining area is. Gorgeous high ceilings with rustic exposed beams, lots of windows allowing the natural light to dance in and they've got their liquor license! Where have I been to miss this? Can't wait to sign myself up for their next pop up dinner. I'm hooked!!

A Dream Wedding Venue with Amazing Owners!…read more We had our daughter's wedding at Redland Family Farm, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful or accommodating venue. From the start, Adelle and Tim were so patient and helpful, even with the many questions and requests we threw their way. They always responded with kindness and made the entire process so much easier for us. They went above and beyond on the wedding day--Adelle even helped turn simple cheesecloth into gorgeous curtains, creating a warm and romantic entryway for the bride and groom. The venue itself is stunning, with two separate suites for the bride and groom to get ready, a large parking lot for guests, onsite staff to assist throughout the day, and the most breathtaking oak tree and sunset views you could imagine. Adelle and Tim are such a wonderful couple to work with, and their property is truly a gem. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with caring, hands-on owners, Redland Family Farm is the perfect choice!

You can tell it's a family-run space, and that makes all the difference. We got married on a chilly summer solstice day with unexpected rain, and Tim was constantly stoking the fires to keep everyone warm and cozy. Even with the weather, there were so many beautiful, usable spaces for our guests to enjoy. The property is breathtaking in every direction, rain or shine! Adele and Tim were the kindest, most accommodating hosts. The whole day felt warm, welcoming, and so well supported. If you're looking for a venue that's as thoughtful as it is gorgeous, this is it. We are so grateful we chose Redland Family Farm - it was the best decision we made, and we would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

There's something about Corbett with its crazy wind corridor barreling down on the inhabitants at all times and acres of former farmland. Somehow, it makes the teens take crazy risks with their lives, which is probably the story of teens everywhere in the U.S. But I hear about JB's life as a teenager in Corbett and I'm given a jumble of Dazed and Confused-style antics involving drunk driving, class cutting, and nature walks, not always in that order. You can understand why my outsider's perspective on the small town of Corbett is a little skewed. So when JB's band had the opportunity to practice in the Columbia Grange Hall in Corbett, it was a bit of a revelation. Beyond providing the setting for countless truant excursions out on Rooster Rock, Corbett contains a simple wooden building just off the main highway where the local citizens organize. The grange once served as the physical space to educate people about family farms as well as lobby for more federal money for local farmers. These days, the Columbia Grange members still do a lot of work with food. They collect food items for some residents in the Sandy River area and pass out lunches to seniors once a week. They also use the space to hold craft fairs and flea markets. My friend's grandmother volunteers not just her time but her amazing stores of energy and commitment to her hometown. One sticky summer day, she unlocked the entrance and let her grandson's band loose on the small stage. The fledgling band, with JB on the left side with his guitar, looked pretty happy on the stage despite the lack of air flow. They ran through their set several times. As I chugged down one bottle of water after another, I surveyed the wooden planks along the floor, the ancient piano, and the steeple-shaped ceiling. Every structure appeared like an object time-traveled out of Corbett's history. It wasn't my past, which felt kind of odd. But I watched my boyfriend do what he loves on that dusty stage in the place where he went to high school, and it felt like that place could be part of my history, at some point.

There is a small home where the pastor and his family live. Next to that is the primary meeting space with an upper level and basement. Flanking the meeting space are the lodging rooms. Outside of that are multiple hiking trails. It was very inviting and felt like home. The food was unique and themed, served family style, everyday to accommodate our group. When the kitchen could serve something local, they would, such as nettle tea. The rooms were fine. They are older but well maintained. In the shared room I was in, there was a decent amount of space with a balcony. The pillows are covered by a really hard, not breathable plastic. I would recommend bringing your own pillows. Overall I think it is a very reasonable place to stay for a getaway, retreats, and other activities of that nature. It is certainly very serene and promotes individual growth as well as providing an encompassing experience with nature.

Beautiful view of the waterfront but the docks do take up a lot of space in your photo if you're trying to get a water shot on the balcony. It would be nicer if there was more water to view rather than docks and boats. The place is very clean and has a very modern feel. The acoustics were terrible. The entire time we were there, I was shouting to speak and had to lean in each time to speak to anyone. This place is so spacious and little conversations accumulate into a big echoey mess. Pair that with event music, utensils clattering and you get a jumbled mess of sounds. The flooring is also just pure concrete so that didn't help. There was little in the form of sound dampening. The venue is two levels with restrooms being single room washrooms on the first floor. Though the view is nice from the second level, my personal opinion is that a single level is best for any venue so that guests (such as myself) don't feel torn from the event and have to choose between mingling between floors. Ample private parking lot.

The landscaping is beautiful with lush greenery & flowers throughout the property which saved me $$ because I didn't have to purchase ANY ceremony florals! Speaking of saving money, Yvonne & David Knoll have SO many amenities included in their fee, which was really a selling point for me. Everywhere I looked, I was having to outsource chairs, linens, tents, lighting, etc. - not here! Yvonne is VERY organized. She will make sure your wedding day is executed perfectly. However, there were times I found her to be a bit...Type-A... I felt as if I had to really stick to my guns about what I wanted / thought would look best. Also, I would suggest updating the Bridal Suite to have a simple and slightly more modern feel. Looking at my wedding photos in the Bridal Suite, I wish I had taken the vintage dress hanging on the wall down & removed their family photos. But, with all that being said, I am very grateful for Yvonne & David. My wedding day was literally perfect. 5/5 recommend Knoll Crest for your wedding!
