Set on Oregon's northern coast near Seaside, the Gearhart Hotel occupies a site with roots going back to 1890, when the original hotel drew wealthy Portlanders to the coast. After fire destroyed two earlier structures, the third hotel opened in 1923 and operated until 1972; today's property combines rooms in that historic building with a 2018 cedar-shingled annex, its king and queen rooms decorated with McMenamins artwork and Pacific Northwest coastal style. The hotel sits on the historic Gearhart Golf Links, one of the oldest courses west of the Mississippi, and looks out toward the Pacific Ocean. Couples and event hosts can choose a beach ceremony just steps away, or say their vows on a sweeping lawn overlooking the golf course's first hole. Indoors, the Chautauqua Room offers a cozy, classic setting with green coffered ceilings, while the larger Livingstone's Room provides space for dinner and dancing, opening onto a covered patio. Food and drink are handled in-house, with McMenamins' own ales, wines, and spirits alongside full catering that accommodates dietary needs. The 34-room hotel, multiple bars, fire pit, and adjacent golf course make it well suited to weddings, corporate retreats, and reunions alike, and the property is pet-friendly.

Surfsand Resort sits directly on the sand in Cannon Beach, Oregon, facing Haystack Rock, the 235-foot basalt monolith that defines the Oregon Coast and is home to one of the state's largest breeding colonies of tufted puffins. The property dates to 1967, and its early history is tied to Oregon's public beach access law: an attempt by the original developer to restrict access to the dry sand in front of the resort helped prompt Governor Tom McCall to sign the Beach Bill, which guaranteed public access along the state's entire 363-mile coastline. The Martin family acquired the original motel in 1979, added the on-site Wayfarer Restaurant in 1983, and grew it into the resort it is today. For events, Surfsand Resort offers oceanfront space for everything from barefoot beach ceremonies to receptions with panoramic views of Haystack Rock and the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range. Its newly renovated Tidepool Event Space is one of the largest event venues in Cannon Beach, and the resort's team also arranges beach wedding permits, ceremony officiants, and local vendor connections. The Wayfarer Restaurant's culinary team caters weddings and events on-site with northwest-inspired menus featuring fresh, local seafood. The resort is pet-friendly, welcoming four-legged members of the wedding party as well.
