Being able to linger and relax in the natural and peaceful surroundings as the sun went down really capped off the day. We had a great time, I highly recommend Vernonia Springs for your outdoor events.

This is the perfect, intimate wedding space. It blends all of the natural beauty of Oregon with the simplicity and comfort that we wanted for our wedding day. It was by far the easiest choice within all of our planning!

The property was absolutely stunning and was a great spot for us to start our future together. The owner was very kind and thoughtful, they did everything they could to make it an easy transition for us.
