2024 was an unforgettable year for Oregon Weddings, and as wedding planners at Sisters Events, we had the privilege of curating breathtaking celebrations at some of the state's most iconic venues. From the industrial charm of The Bindery and Castaway Portland to the scenic grandeur of The Griffin House and Wind Mountain Ranch, each wedding told a unique love story. Here's a recap of our favorite moments from these stunning venues:
The Bindery: Industrial Elegance Meets Oregon Wine Country
Located in the gorgeous Oregon Wine Country of McMinnville- The Bindery provides a chic, industrial backdrop for modern couples. Its high ceilings, large glass garage doors, and the abundance of natural light creates a warm yet contemporary atmosphere. In 2024, we saw couples lean into minimalist aesthetics here—think neutral palettes with pops of bold florals and sleek table settings. The venue’s versatile layout allowed us to transform it into cozy, intimate space for a lively reception complete with multiple food trucks- complete with a bar trailer that cozied up indoors. A great way to host indoor Oregon Weddings.
Castaway Portland: Industrial Charm with a Twist
Castaway Portland continued to be a favorite for couples seeking a spacious industrial venue filled with natural light. With its spacious interior and outdoor courtyard, it became the perfect canvas for personalization and large guest counts. In 2024, we noticed a trend toward vibrant color schemes and creative lighting installations at Castaway. One standout wedding featured hanging bright floral clouds for a spring Oregon Wedding. The venue's proximity to downtown Portland also made it ideal for guests looking to explore the city during wedding weekends. Take a sneak peak here of this gorgeous Portland Wedding
The Griffin House: Columbia Gorge Magic
Perched above the Columbia River Gorge, The Griffin House offers unparalleled views that took every guest's breath away. This venue is all about romance and nature, and 2024 weddings embraced that fully. Couples opted for ceremonies framed by the iconic Hood River Gorge cliffs, followed by al fresco dining under string lights and some incredible floral installations. We worked with local florists to incorporate native greenery and wildflowers into the décor, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Every Hood River Wedding here felt like stepping into a dream.
Wind Mountain Ranch: Modern meets rustic in the Gorge
Wind Mountain Ranch is a showstopper Oregon Wedding Venue, offering couples a private retreat surrounded by nature and insane views of the Gorge. With its sweeping mountains as your backdrop and the Columbia River Gorge surrounding you, this venue became a haven for large celebrations that still felt intimate. Many couples choose to extend their weddings into full weekend experiences, taking advantage of the on-site cabins and trails. The ranch’s flexibility allowed us to craft personalized timelines that celebrated both love and community. Hood River Weddings are some of our absolute favorite to plan and design for our couples.
