Since we wanted a smaller ceremony/reception with 46 total attendees, we rented the 3rd floor dining room with adjoining bar and outdoor patio. We worked with Travis and Kelli on the details, mostly by email, and they were both very helpful and accommodating. Below is a list of various points that might help other couples choose this location:
1.) The venue is lovely and views are gorgeous!
2.) Price for a November wedding was really good, so much so that there was room in the budget to host the beer, cider and wine bar.
3.) We were able to bring all of our decorations the night before, but actual decorating needed to take place the day of starting 2 hours before the start of the event.
4.) Staff the day of was helpful, and flexible. Since our ceremony was in November and we wanted our ceremony to take place in the outdoor patio, there was a contingency plan for any possible rain. Turns out we didn't need it, but staff was ready to set up for it.
5.) The third floor has its own private bathroom.
6.) If you have guests with mobility issues, there is an elevator.
7.) Let's face it, we are dog people up here in the PNW! My brother was able to bring my furr-niece to the ceremony (couldn't leave at home as they were from out of state) and she didn't even need to stay on the patio.
8.) The venue provides rectangular tables only, no round tables. Our set up included the outdoor ceremony space, indoor tables, chairs, tablecloths, napkins, glassware and silverware.
9.) THE FOOD WAS GREAT!!!! Guests were commenting on that single fact for days afterwards. We did have a food tasting in March (before the start of wedding season), so we already knew it would be good.
10.) While views from the venue are lovely, I highly recommend also taking a detour and take your first-look pics on Thunder Island, which is almost directly across the street from the venue. It's got fantastic views of the Bridge of the Gods, the Washington side of the Gorge, and the rest of the gorge.
