Legacy Estate Vineyard is Eola Hills Wine Cellars' tasting room and vineyard property, set on a hillside just a 10-minute drive west of Salem in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The tasting room opens onto a generous patio and sweeping lawns bordered by a spring-fed lake, with views across the valley toward the coastal range — a setting the winery also uses for weddings and special events. Guests can settle in for a seated tasting flight of Eola Hills' Barrel Select Reserve, Sparkling, and Dessert wines, taken either in the tasting room or out on the patio. In warmer months, the property's self-guided "Wiking" trails let visitors combine wine with a hike through the vineyard hillsides before returning to the tasting room to pick up a bottle. Beyond tastings, Legacy Estate hosts weddings, fundraiser galas, corporate conferences, and private dinners, with an event manager who tailors the space — lawn, lake, and valley views included — to each occasion.

Green Villa Garden is the seasonal outdoor half of Green Villa, a family-owned, community-rooted wedding venue in Independence, Oregon that has hosted events for 25 years. The property was revitalized in 2001 when owners Joost and Charlotte VanderHave began hosting weddings on the land, and the venue has grown from there into two distinct settings: the historic Barn and the open-air Garden. The Garden is open for events from mid-June through mid-September and accommodates up to 300 guests. The grounds are lined with hydrangeas and rose bushes, centered on a white gazebo with a chandelier and a rose-covered arbor. A white tent structure with chandeliers covers the buffet area, and a separate 1,800-square-foot covered reception area, strung with perimeter lights and three chandeliers, anchors the dance floor and DJ space. The rental includes a garden cottage for the bride with two restrooms, a full kitchen, and air conditioning, along with a separate groom's changing room, outdoor restrooms, and a granite bar area. Tables, chairs, and buffet linens for up to 200 guests are included in the rental, along with tan patio umbrellas for shade.

Set on the south slope of Mt. Hood at 6,000 feet, Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark built in 1937 during the Works Progress Administration, when more than 500 workers completed the 55,000-square-foot stone-and-timber structure in just 18 months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the lodge in person, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. That alpine setting and handcrafted architecture — local volcanic stone, massive timbers, and hand-forged iron throughout — give the lodge a striking backdrop for weddings, meetings, and group celebrations found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest. The lodge offers several distinct event spaces, from Ullman Hall's wood-paneled reception setting to Raven's Nest, with its large A-frame windows and mountain views, to outdoor ceremony settings on the patios and at the mountain amphitheater. One mile above the main lodge, the timber-and-stone Silcox Hut offers a more intimate, alpine setting with a fireplace for smaller weddings and gatherings. Timberline is home to six restaurants, including the Cascade Dining Room, Ram's Head Bar, and Blue Ox Bar in the historic hotel, plus the Wy'East Cafe and Y'Bar across the parking lot. Its in-house culinary team prepares Northwest Alpine cuisine using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients for weddings, conferences, and private events.

You have arrived in the very center of Salem's historic district. The Victorian home known as Deepwood was built in the Queen Anne style, and it is located in a public park that spans five acres and features formal gardens, nature trails, a greenhouse, and the original carriage house. The City of Salem owns the property, which is situated in close proximity to the central business district of Salem, and the Friends of Deepwood are in charge of managing it. Deepwood is included on the National Register of Historic Places, and in addition to providing a wide range of activities, including events and programs, it is also open to the general public throughout the entire year. The town of Deepwood is known for much more than its picturesque appearance. We invite anyone who is interested to come and explore Deepwood, whether it is to take a stroll through the gardens, take part in a special event that is held on the grounds, or tour the museum home. The Deepwood Historic House Museum is a non-profit educational institution that offers tours, exhibitions, and lecture series that provide visitors with an insight into the early history of Salem. We are grateful to have you as a part of our continuing legacy.

Mt. Hood Oregon Resort sits on more than 300 acres of forest along the Salmon River in Welches, Oregon, about an hour east of Portland and 15 minutes from the Mt. Hood ski areas. The property traces its roots to 1882, when Samuel Welch and his son Billy purchased land along the river; in 1928 the site became the first golf resort in Oregon, and it has passed through several names and owners since, including a period as The Resort at The Mountain, before its current identity took hold in 2018. For weddings, the resort draws on its forest and mountain setting across several distinct spaces: the Cascade Ballroom for indoor receptions, the waterfront Lakeside Pavilion for seated dinners, and the manicured lawns of Pine Cone Bluff, framed by Hunchback and Zig Zag Mountains, for ceremonies. Couples can add a sunset cocktail reception, a round on the resort's 27-hole golf course, or an outing like guided hiking, whitewater rafting, or fly fishing. Beyond weddings, the Main Lodge and East Side Complex hold thirteen conference and banquet rooms, many with expansive windows looking out over the surrounding evergreen forest. The resort also offers on-site dining at Altitude Restaurant & Lounge and Mallards Café & Pub, a year-round heated outdoor pool, and team-building activities such as lawn bowling and croquet on its resort-style greens.

Vince Genna Stadium is a historic ballpark in Bend, Oregon, home to the Bend Elks of the West Coast League. Built in 1947, the stadium hosted high school, American Legion, and semi-professional teams before professional baseball arrived in 1970. Over the following decades it welcomed a string of minor league affiliates, and actor Kurt Russell famously played second base there in 1971. When the ballpark faced demolition in 2000, a community-led Save-Our-Stadium Committee stepped in to preserve it, and the Bend Elks organization began play that same summer. Today the stadium offers several group and private rental spaces for events. The BBQ Deck, down the third baseline, holds 12 to 100 guests and can be divided into two sections or booked as one unit. The Bistro Deck, at field level next to the visitor's dugout, seats 20 and accommodates up to 30 with standing room, putting guests close to the action. For larger private gatherings, the Beer Garden along the first baseline offers a fully private area with a service counter, grill, and beer on tap, available for groups of 50 or more on Wednesday games. Recently, the stadium earned DarkSky Certification following a major lighting upgrade.

Ashland Springs Hotel opened on July 1, 1925 as the Lithia Springs Hotel, a nine-story landmark that was, at the time, the tallest building between Portland and San Francisco. Built in a hybrid of gothic and beaux-arts architecture, the hotel features a two-story lobby with a grand fireplace and terrazzo flooring. After closing in 1997, the property underwent a comprehensive basement-to-rooftop restoration beginning in 1998 under owners Doug and Becky Neuman, preserving original details such as stained glass bearing the hotel's historic crest and six original chandeliers. Today the boutique hotel offers over 5,700 square feet of event space in downtown Ashland, Oregon, along with 70 guest rooms for out-of-town guests. Its five connected event spaces — the Grand Ballroom, Crystal Room, Conservatory, English Garden, and Palm Room — range from an old-world-inspired ballroom with a built-in dance floor to a cobblestone-floored outdoor garden with a wrought-iron gazebo, suiting everything from wedding ceremonies and receptions to corporate meetings and rehearsal dinners. Executive Chef Franco Console leads customized catering for events, and the hotel's sister property, Lithia Springs Resort & Wine Garden, offers an additional outdoor venue option nearby.
