Our wedding day venue is in the scenic forest hills between the Oregon Coast and the Willamette Valley, just off of Salmon River Highway (HWY 22) in Grand Ronde. It is easily accessed from Interstate 5 in Salem if coming from Washington, Portland, and Southern Oregon.
For those flying into Oregon, Portland International Airport (or as we lovingly call it PDX), is served primarily by Alaska, American, and Southwest Airlines. The venue is approximately a 2 hour drive from PDX, but an hour or more can easily be added on, depending upon traffic in Portland. Eugene Airport is a small regional airport about 1 hour and 40 minutes to the south, and is served primarily by Southwest Airlines. While flights are more limited, this route is not subject to long delays due to traffic, and is generally an easier airport to navigate.
The closest accomodation to the venue is the Spirit Mountain Hotel at the Spirit Mountain Casino. It is a 5 mile, 10 minute drive from the venue.
For those looking for a "beach" vibe, or ocean front accomodations, we recommend checking out the Oregon Coast. Lincoln City is about 30 minutes to the west, and has an picturesque coast range and charming shops. South from there is Newport, which has amazing restaraunts and the famous Rogue Brewery. Tillamook, to the north, is the home of Tillamook Creamery, which has delicious ice cream and grilled cheese sandwiches.
For those who want to experience the Willamette Valley and maybe try a farm stay, we recommend heading to Oregon's wine country. McMinville is about 30 minutes to the north east, and is home to many exceptional farm to table restaraunts serving locally sourced meats, vegetables, and wine. A little further on you will find Dundee and Newberg, which have many local area tasting rooms serving samples of our regions famous Pinot Noirs. This area is located along Highway 99, which provides easy access from Portland, where it terminates with Interstate 5.
We also invite you to stay and camp with us after the festivities. Our venue has plenty of space for tent camping, and there will also be space for a handful of travel trailers (please reach out in advance to secure a spot). We will even be cooking breakfast for our camping guests the next morning.
This is the closest hotel to our venue. It is modern and connected to the Spirit Mountain Casino, which besides blackjack tables, also has resetaraunts and entertainment.
This shuttle operates once daily from PDX, and stops in Grand Ronde at the Spirit Mountain Hotel and Casino. It's latest departure from PDX is 1:00 PM. They also occasionally offer private shuttle service.
