Came here for a wedding in the fall and it was absolutely stunning. If I could get married again I would get married here. Not only is the backdrop beautiful of Mount Hood, but there are gorgeous hydrangeas that line in the area with tons of Photo ops. The food wow. I've never really enjoyed wedding food, but the food that they provided to the guest family style was really good. The fish was flaky, and the vegetables tasted like it was fresh from their garden. They also have pair of wine, which was super unique and delicious. Some of the trees had pears on them and it was such a beautiful evening getting to celebrate friends. Here would definitely recommend this place to other people. read more

Stunning venue in an orchard with breathtaking views of Mt. Hood. On the more rustic side, out in the middle of nowhere. No real bathrooms, tiny indoor dressing area. The deep gravel in the walkways was difficult to walk on and it was impossible to push the stroller through. The venue seems smaller in person than its online pictures. The covered area was a little tight for the guest count and wouldn't be sufficient if Oregon weather decided to turn. ..which is inevitable. The food was very good for catering such a large amount of people. It's always hard to get that much food right. It all tasted delicious and was clearly very fresh. But a lot of it has lost most of its heat by the time it was served. read more

Wow! What a stunning venue! I was a wedding guest at my niece's beautiful July wedding, and everything was stunning from the grounds to the spectacular views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams to the catering by Celilo. I was a bit worried about glaring sun for a later afternoon wedding, but the couple provided parasols for everyone, so we stayed comfortable during the ceremony. I was a bit concerned about "outhouses" for bathrooms for a formal wedding. Turns out, the professionals running The Orchard were way ahead of me, and sanitation was not a concern. The catering by Celilo was pitch perfect in service, presentation, and in taste. We were already exciting make this incredible day special, and this venue and the dedicated, thoughtful staff executed their crafts with care, grace, and love. There are lots of outstanding venues for special events in the NW, and The Orchard is one of the best I've experienced. The highest praise and appreciation to this special place for the memories they helped our family and friends makes. Please see other reviews for photos--I didn't ask permission to post photos so I'm not posting in my review. read more

What a stunning venue!! Imagine Mt. Hood as the backdrop, and then this delightful orchard with tall luscious blooms of hydrangeas, lavender, roses, hollyhocks, and more. Strings of light across the open space above the guests. SO ROMANTIC! The best feature to me though is that they allow you to choose your own vendors (caterers, florals, cake, etc) unlike most other venues that push their preferences onto you. Cheers to Christina and Khoa for such a beautiful wedding. Their day was the glimmer of light in the midst of the Covid darkness. If I am being completely honest, we questioned whether or not this August 2020 wedding would be possible since many other happy pairs had to reschedule this year. Luckily this outdoor venue and small guest list of family and close friends allowed for the Covid safety mandated by the county and state. Covid Safety - The venue was thoroughly sanitized prior to the event. Face masks for all staff working the event. The bride and groom are in the medical field so they provided face masks for all guests to wear, aside from when eating and drinking. The rows of chairs for the ceremony where 6 feet apart from one another. Each row correlated to a table, so that there were limited points of contacts. Hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue. The venue was very nice and accommodating throughout the process. They allowed us to leave things in the fridge from the night prior since it did not fit in the fridge at our house rentals. Also, the bride's sister forgot something while we were at rehearsals, and they kindly came back to open the gate for her to retrieve her goods. My friend also mentioned really good pricing compared to other venues she checked out. Everyone had an amazing time at the wedding. It is definitely worth it for me to make the trip to be there for my friend! We've been friends since first grade :) But don't worry... I'm self isolating after my exposure to a semi-large group to keep our germs contained. read more

From the moment we arrived at The Orchard, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Set in a picturesque pear orchard, this garden spot blew us away with its natural beauty. The stunning views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams were like a dream, providing the most incredible backdrop for our special day. The gardens were meticulously cared for, with vibrant flowers and a serene atmosphere that made everything feel like a fairytale. It was the ideal setting for us to say our vows and celebrate with our loved ones. Everything was perfect. The catering from Celilo was a major highlight. Their food and cocktails were nothing short of amazing--each dish was delicious and beautifully presented, and the His and Hers cocktails were a big hit with everyone. They truly added a special touch to our celebration. In short, The Orchard, with its stunning views, gorgeous gardens, and outstanding catering, made our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend The Orchard to anyone looking for a magical, memorable setting for their special day. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. Nate and Kim Hart read more

We were honored to be able to attend the wedding of a very good friend at this venue. This venue is absolutely gorgeous and very fitting for an intimate wedding. The wedding we attended was in early October and the way the light hits at the 4pm hour with the orchards and Mt. Hood in the background is absolutely gorgeous. The setup was very quaint and welcoming to all guests. As the night progressed, the temperatures definitely dipped and since this venue is partially outdoors, I would highly recommend bringing a heavy jacket to keep warm if you walk past the indoor boundaries that are lined with heaters. The bridal suite was roomy and a great spot for the bride and her party to settle in prior to the ceremony. The wedding we attended came out gorgeous in pictures and every detail was perfect for the bride and groom. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding or event space with a beautiful backdrop of what the local regiona's nature has to offer. read more

We were lucky to find this gorgeous venue! It was the perfect venue for us as we didn't want to fuss with a lot of extra fluff; the gardens, flowers, orchards, and the space overall really speaks for itself and doesn't need any dressing up. The venue's team were all very kind, communicative, accommodating, and so easy to work with. Also, the in house catering by Celilo was phenomenal, truly can't overstate how amazing both the food and the service was. read more

We had an absolutely amazing experience at The Orchard. We ended up here after a string of bad luck due to COVID that led to us turning a large indoor wedding in Portland into a small elopement. We were connected with Molly in mid-June and she was able to help us get everything together for a July 31st event. She even helped connect us to a caterer to provide dinner and cake for the event as restaurants were not open and would have been tricky to orchestrate with. Because the sun sets so late in July we ended up doing a brief cocktail time, dinner, the ceremony, and then cake. They even allowed our small dog so we were able to incorporate him into the ceremony which was really fun. The space is absolutely beautiful, you really can't beat the views with lovely flowers and orchards to accent the mountains. Molly worked with us to figure out the best set up for a small event (total of 10 people including myself and the groom) and when we arrived everything looked perfect. It is so nice that they have all of the furniture in house, it made everything super easy and the options were all beautiful. We are so thankful to have found this venue, our families loved it and I have received so many compliments on the venue based on the photos, I highly recommend! read more

I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over at The Orchard. I have zero complaints. From the seamless planning process to the wedding day, everything was perfect! We felt supported and looked out for. We got married July 28, 2024. We were nervous the summer fires smoke would block our Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams view but thanks to that Hood River breeze, we got the most magical and dreamy view the day of our wedding. I wish I could get married every year at The Orchard. Thank you for making our day perfect!!(: read more

The Orchard is an incredible venue!! I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. The first time I saw the venue in person my jaw dropped and it remained that amazing throughout our whole wedding. The staff is awesome and very communicative and great about sending out brochures. The property is outstanding with the two Mountain View's and we got married in august so the hydrangeas were in full bloom and just gorgeous. It did rain for about 15 minutes on our wedding day but it created the most spectacular sunset we've ever seen. Would very highly recommend getting married in this magical place! read more

An absolutely stunning venue with spectacular gardens! Great at communicating during the planning process, we're so happy with how our special day turned out! read more

The venue is absolutely stunning with incredible views and gardens. The Orchard team is amazing and the in-house catering is A++++ and has delicious options for omnivores and vegans alike. We worked with their recommended vendors and could not have been happier. We also used all of the Orchard's in-house items, including linens, flatware etc and it was all beautiful and made life so much easier to not have to coordinate with an additional vendor. We worked with LoveNotes as our coordinator, who are also part of the Celilo team. The entire day was magical and everything flowed seamlessly. read more

My husband and I got married at The Orchard August 4 2019. The property is absolutely stunning and the mountain views are unbeatable! The were so easy to work with and Molly even did our flowers, which were stunning! They did an amazing job with the property and have included so many details to make it perfect! It is rare to find a venue that lets you 100% create your own day with your own vendors, which allowed for a unique and personalized wedding. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding!! read more

The Orchard was the best place to get married. The planning process was so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The location and views cannot be beat and the folks at the Orchard are always doing everything they can to make the grounds more and more beautiful and to make the wedding planning process more and more streamlined and easy. We first chose the Orchard because they allowed up to 175 guests (whereas many venues in the area have a max. of 150). But we would not have wanted to get married anywhere else. We loved that there were view of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams and that they partnered with Celilo Catering. The flowers and setting are gorgeous at every moment of the year and all of the staff go above and beyond for their couples. We had the absolute most wonderful, easy, and beautiful wedding day thanks to the Orchard (and all our other great vendors!). I highly recommend the Orchard to anyone looking to get married in the Gorge! read more

Truly the most amazing location to have a wedding! If you are interested in having an outdoor wedding in the gorge with epic scenery and mountain views, this place ticks all the boxes. We were very fortunate to get to be able to hold our wedding at The Orchard during it's very first wedding season. When my husband and I initially toured the venue, it was a concrete slab with an unpainted new barn structure surrounded by dirt. Even then, it was easy to see the inherent gorgeousness of this pear orchard with surrounding mountain views. The venue owners Molly and Amanda were down to earth, easy to work with, and professional but not formal (which I liked). The site was finished to perfection by our wedding: landscaping filled in and beautiful, classic string lights hung from the barn out to the orchard, barn walls whitewashed and beautiful, and dressing room decorated. There are many beautiful wedding venues located in the gorge (I toured a lot of them before deciding on The Orchard). When comparing venue locations here are few things to think about that the Orchard offers that other venues did not. 1) Some venues had a view of Mt. Hood; The Orchard has double mountain views of Mt. Hood along with Mt. Adams 2) Other venues would have required us to book additional rentals; the Orchard included chairs, benches, farm tables, dessert table, a table for the DJ all in the venue rental price. Money saver 3) The portable bathrooms!!!! Technically this point could have gone under reason #2 but it really deserves its own separate line. So, the portable bathrooms are included in the venue rental price (again cool money saver). Also, they were really really really nice.... like PREMIUM! There are three bathrooms included in the price (1 is ADA accessible though all 3 I would say are spacious). They kind of look like an airstream bus. They have air conditioning, lighting and running water. Honestly, they were just like a regular bathroom... they were just located in the middle of a beautiful orchard My wedding had 150 guests and there was never a line. 4) The location of The Orchard. I can't speak for all wedding venues but most of the ones we looked at (we were interested in scenery and nature) were located further out of town. The Orchard is just 10 minutes from downtown Hood River! It was so close. It feels like you are out in the country, but you are still really close to everything. It made it easy to coordinate our shuttle transportation for guests. And again it was a money saver that we were able to hire one shuttle to do multiple trips instead of needing to book multiple vehicles. Obviously I highly recommend this venue. Some practical things to also consider are that the venue is in Hood River and it is windy. We had to make practical adjustments with out wedding decorations to make sure things wouldn't blow away. Also, the venue only has one bridal suite. There is no separate space for the groom and the groomsmen to hang out in. My husband and his guys were pretty warm right before the ceremony (it was summer time and they were helping to set things up) and I needed to let them into the air-conditioning in the bridal suite in order to keep everyone comfortable. Also the bridal suite is fairly small and I wouldn't recommend getting ready there. We got ready off site and then used the bridal suite just to hide away in before the wedding started. The review is long, but I honestly feel like once you find the venue and pick your date everything else begins to fall into place... so it's important to get what you like read more

To say The Orchard is spectacular, would be an understatement. My partner and I worked with Hillary, Molly, and Kenya to hold our wedding of 110 people in August 2022. They were proactive in their communication, provided numerous resources and reminders as the Big Day drew near, as well as ensured the day-of was perfect. We cannot recommend The Orchard enough! The team, location, and views made our choice so easy. read more

Choosing The Orchard for our wedding venue was one of the easiest decisions we have ever made. In fact it was the only venue we toured. Just one look and interaction with Molly and we knew it was the place for us. To start, the views are BREATHTAKING. We absolutely love the PNW and specifically Hood River. We really wanted to show off the area to our guests from out of town and couldn't have found a better place to do just that. The double mountain views, beautiful landscaping, and thoughtful details far exceeded our expectations. We also loved that it was close to downtown Hood River meaning a short shuttle or car ride for our guests. The air conditioned bridal suite kept us cool on a hot day before our ceremony started, and plenty of shade was provided by the barn and umbrellas. The barn perfectly blocks the wind while still allowing to see the incredible views. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful our day was and we still get compliments and inquiries on our venue. Aside from the gorgeous setting, Molly and Amanda are a dream to work with. They are kind, organized, professional, and fun! They made sure we had everything planned out and helped make the planning process stress-free. They were always available for help whether it be day of planning, finding other vendors, or random wedding questions. Our wedding was in July of 2021 but we booked in January 2020 - before the pandemic was even a thought. They stayed in constant communication with us and always updated us with changes in safety requirements. Planning a wedding during COVID was hard with all of the unknowns, but they did everything to ease this stress. They assured us they would do everything they could to bring our dream day to life no matter what the restrictions were, and they did this while following guidelines and making sure everyone was safe. Additionally, we needed to do two site visits ahead of our wedding and they accommodated this easily for us. They also know everyone in the wedding business in the local area which made us confident that our big day would be pulled off with no problems - and we were right. They handled everything perfectly and the day went by smoothly and flawlessly from set up to take down. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Our wedding was better than we ever could have imagined and so much of that is thanks to our insanely beautiful venue and the outstanding hard work of Molly, Amanda, and everyone else at The Orchard. We highly recommend them and wish we could relive our magical day with them over and over again! read more

Where to even start. Both having my wedding at the orchard and working in the industry, I can confidently say that Molly and Amanda are doing it the best. Aside from the gorgeous venue and views, which practically sells itself, but is worth mentioning because every detail is well thought over and painstakingly cared for, they make sure you have everything you need and that your wedding goes off without a hitch- which is not true for all venues. They certainly go above and beyond. There is an impossible amount of value built in to The Orchard. read more

There are truly no words to describe how lucky we felt to have been able to get married at The Orchard. The photos are always gorgeous, but being there in person is utterly breathtaking & simply magical. Molly & Amanda have curated the most thoughtful & practical space for a wedding and are committed to ensuring your day goes flawlessly. There was not a minute of our wedding day we did not love, and a large part of that is due to those two ladies behind the scenes. They were already wonderful prior to the pandemic, but once it hit & impacted our wedding day, Molly & Amanda were phenomenal. They went above and beyond to help us through one of the most stressful seasons of our life. They were endlessly supportive, patient, and accommodating. They put their heart and soul into this venue and into their couples, and it doesn't go unnoticed. We are so grateful for them. Choose The Orchard and may all your wedding dreams come true! read more
