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.

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.

South Waterfront Park sits along the banks of the Willamette River in Portland's South Waterfront neighborhood, running roughly 1,000 feet along the riverbank. The 4.5-acre park was designed by landscape architecture firm Walker Macy on a site once home to a lumber mill and the city's steam plant, and it provides direct public access to the river year-round — a rarity along the downtown riverfront. At its heart are four lily ponds, home to local ducks and surrounded by irises, azaleas, wild geraniums, and rhododendrons, along with meditation benches for guests who want a quiet moment. Paved, accessible pathways connect the RiverPlace Esplanade to the north with the Tilikum Crossing bridge to the south, opening up views of the Marquam and Hawthorne bridges and, on clear days, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. A pair of boulder-lined paths lead down to a natural silty beach exposed at low water, and the sculpture "River Shift" by Mathieu Gregoire anchors the grounds in basalt, concrete, and steel. The park is open from 5am to midnight and includes accessible restrooms, benches, and nearby shops and restaurants, making it a flexible outdoor backdrop for gatherings that want to take advantage of Portland's waterfront setting.
