Amazing staff, beautiful property and a great value

Sydney and her event team were amazing! They were so attentive and accomidating through the whole planning process and were quick to lend us assistance when things went wrong with our sound system during the reception.

Mcmenamins Grand Lodge was the perfect choice, nothing but positive comments from our guest about the food and space.

The best experience

Thank you so much for helping make our day special! We had so much fun and heard great feedback from our guests on the venue, food, and overall experience. We feel like The Grand Lodge fit our needs perfectly. A few things that made this experience wonderful: beautiful outdoor setting, variety of rooms for guests, soaking pool, food & beverage were fantastic, everything went seamlessly. We loved working with Alex McMurry and The Grand Lodge, and highly recommend this venue!

Wonderful Wedding

McMenamins Grand Lodge was such a wonderful place to have our wedding. Our wedding had a small amount of guests and with being able to have the venue, catering, and drinks be taken care of in one place it definitely lifted a stress off our shoulders. Both my Husband and I love McMenamins and were glad we got to spend our special day here. The Staff was fantastic, answering our questions right away, and on the day of wedding helping us with giving us a break down of everything and helping us when guests may have been a bit unruly. They were a fantastic place. The only thing my husband and I are sad about, is not having it outside in the small enclosure of trees, but having it inside the Children's cottage was just as beautiful. I highly recommend, especially if you want a venue that is all-in-one, where you have the venue, and catering taken care of right in one place.

Wonderful place to get married

On the day of our wedding it started to pour down rain 30 minutes before we were supposed to start. We had already cancelled the weather pending canopy because rain was not supposed to happen. The staff at Mcmenamins Grand Lodge acted very quickly and gave me many options to deal with the rain. They were able to put up pop up canopies and move the ceremony underneath cover and changed all the linens. They did all of this very quickly and provided a wonderful place for us to do our ceremony.

Wonderful experience

Armando was awesome, he went out of his way to make sure everything was exactly how we pictured it. The menu and bar options were super flexible and they worked with our budget. We stayed two nights at the lodge and they made sure our rooms were near the venue space and gave us some souvenirs at check in. The rooms were small but made up for it with large bathrooms and closets. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

Amazing wedding with McMenamins Grand Lodge

We decided to go with McMenamins not only because is it a PNW staple but also because of how seamless the process is with them. McMenamins knows how to put in a wedding. They take care of all the details such from chairs and silverware to food and beverages. If you are a person that doesn’t want to deal with a ton of vendors and just wants a beautiful set up with no fuss look no further than McMenamins Grand Lodge.
We got married in Catchings Grove and the reception was on the Iron Works Patio. The foliage is so beautiful you don’t need any additional decorations for your wedding. The patio is comfortable and has beautiful lights strung along a wooden panels that cover the patio.
I would recommend McMenamins Grand Lodge to anyone getting married in Oregon!

The event coordination staff was very professional and quick to communicate every detail of our ceremony and reception. The venue was very beautiful and the service was excellent! When shopping around for a venue we found the Grande Lodge's prices could not be matched. Our stay in the wedding suite was wonderful as well and the food during our entire stay was great!
