The Griffin House is a 120-year-old home set on a private cliffside property above the Columbia River Gorge, just five minutes from Hood River, Oregon and about an hour from Portland. Built in 1900, the property has passed through many lives, including a dairy farm, a fox farm, and a Prohibition-era speakeasy with a tunnel through the cliff, before Claire Griffin and her husband discovered it overgrown and largely hidden in the 1980s and restored it. The house has hosted weddings since 2008. The grounds unfold across sweeping lawns and stone terraces along the property's original rock wall, with sweeping views of the Gorge from multiple vantage points. The Welcome Terrace serves as the arrival and cocktail-hour space, the Ceremony Lawn's grassy staircase frames the ceremony itself, and the Eastern Lawn opens onto the property's most panoramic views for portraits. A custom 2,600-square-foot clear tent provides the reception space, seating up to 175 guests. Inside the house, the Griffin's Wing and the Griffin's Den offer separate getting-ready spaces, the Wing surrounded by a sunroom and three bedrooms, and the Den outfitted with a bar, kitchen, and private patio. Rentals include full access to the property's private furniture collection, from tables and chairs to lounges and rugs, and a dedicated venue coordinator collaborates with couples in the months leading up to the wedding. The Griffin House also hosts a benefit concert series, started by Claire Griffin in 2011, that helps fund the upkeep of the historic grounds.

Tin Roof Barn centers its weddings around three connected spaces: the 3,400-square-foot barn for dining and dancing, the Ceremony Patio overlooking the mountains and orchards, and the timber-framed Pavilion, where guests typically gather for cocktail hour beneath a stone fireplace. Full-day weddings of up to 180 guests dine in the barn itself, while intimate weddings of 50 or fewer guests can celebrate entirely in the Pavilion. The barn at the center of the property has stood since the early 1900s, on a family farm in Washington's Columbia River Gorge that the founder's parents acquired in 1971. It was restored and opened as a wedding venue in 2014, and the Pavilion was added in 2016 to serve as a covered ceremony alternative during rain or heat. Reservations include a full day onsite, upgraded ceremony chairs, farm tables, two private dressing quarters, and an onsite restroom facility. Tin Roof Barn also offers its own in-house coordination team, TRB & Co., as the sole required planning vendor, alongside a preferred list of caterers and DJs.
