Bridal Veil Lakes

Bridal Veil Lakes is an outdoor event venue built around a three-acre, spring-fed lake surrounded by old-growth forest, overlooking the Historic Columbia River Gorge about 30 minutes east of Portland, Oregon. The property overlooks the Gorge and sits just off the Historic Columbia River Highway, across from Bridal Veil Falls. The venue provides two covered, lakeshore-facing areas, an open-air wood pavilion and a covered patio, each 800 square feet with decorative lighting and electricity, so guests can dine and dance overlooking the water. An additional uncovered outdoor patio adds further event space, and a decorative wooden arch is available for ceremonies. The site seats up to 250 guests for a ceremony and reception, with table seating for 250 at the reception. Beyond the ceremony and reception areas, the property offers four canoes with life jackets for guests to explore the lake, forest paths for wandering the grounds, a covered bar, a catering preparation area with commercial refrigerator and freezer, a custom BBQ grill, and indoor restrooms with showers. Parking accommodates 150 vehicles with additional space for RVs, including ADA-designated parking near the lake. Bridal Veil Lakes hosts events mid-May through mid-October and offers tours year-round by appointment.
