    Magical Mt. Hood Wedding

    Everything was perfect, and everyone, down to the servers in the restaurants made our wedding weekend spectacular. They were willing to help me make a couple of slight changes right up to the moment we got married, and I couldn't have been happier. Many of my guests remarked that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. It was easy because they did essentially everything for us - catering, decorating, table arranging, etc. We basically just had to show up. I also organized a day of skiing the next day for our guests, and working with the lodge was easy as well. Timberline has always been our home away from home in the winter, and now they're like a part of our family. Highly recommend.

    Picture Perfect

    My wife, Keshia and I discovered Timberline Lodge during one of our excursions in 2018 and it was a highlight of our trip. When we decided to get married in 2020, Timberline Lodge was one of the first thoughts that came to our mind when choosing the perfect venue. We had a small wedding (approximately 25 people) with our closest friends and family. Everything was perfect. The staff (huge shoutout to Chelsea, Tammy and Chandra) were so helpful/unbelievable and went above and beyond assisting us and making sure our day was incredible. We are from Nashville, Tennessee, so everything had to be done through email and telephone. Plus, the added “wrinkle” of the Covid-19 situation. None of that mattered. Timberline handled everything flawlessly and made our lives easy. They answered every question and made wedding planning simple and fun. The food, venue, atmosphere, accommodations, staff and attention to detail were all incredible and exceeded every expectation and hope we had. We are so grateful for Timberline Lodge allowing us to have our wedding there and would recommend the entire experience to anyone!

    Perfection!

    Timberline was an absolute dream of a wedding venue! We got married in January with Timberline's Jubilation Package and it was so easy and wonderful. We were in the Raven's Nest for the rehearsal, ceremony and reception (we had a small wedding - around 40 people), and it was the most beautiful winter venue we could have imagined.
    It was so easy working and planning the wedding with Timberline, and they really went above and beyond helping us make the day perfect. They helped us build an all-vegetarian menu, set up our own music, store our flowers overnight, and so much more. We especially loved that Timberline offers an all-inclusive package. It was so nice to not have to worry about organizing multiple vendors, and they offer exceptional service so it doesn't feel like compromising at all. The food and drinks for the reception were top notch!
    I would recommend Timberline to absolutely everyone! The ease of planning, beauty of the venue, and incredible accommodations made our wedding so unforgettable.

    Perfect venue for a Wedding in June

    We had an amazing experience with Timberline Lodge. We worked with the event coordinator to book and block rooms for our wedding. The planner was great to work with; very responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The venue itself is breathtaking. Even if you and up having an indoor wedding due to the unpredictable weather at the mountain, the rooms are beautiful. Food was amazing, especially the wedding cake.

    Perfect wedding venue in all respects!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Timberline Lodge. Thanks to them we had a perfect (and stress free!!) wedding day. Our guests continue to rave about our wedding experience. If we had to do it again we would absolutely go back to Timberline again!

    Dream Location

    Timberline was such an easy choice for us! From the rustic beauty of the lodge, to the breath taking views, Timberline is truly a memorable location. Chelsea, our wedding coordinator, was fabulous. She was professional, flexible, creative, and thorough. The food and service during the reception was top-notch too. Our guests continue to rave about Timberline.

    Destination Wedding Dream Come True

    Planning a wedding from 3000 miles away from Florida, one would think it would be a major nightmare and a ton of stress but thanks to Chandra, Tammy, and Chelsea it was an absolute breeze. It was so smooth and seamless that on the actual wedding day, my husband and I kept thinking we had forgotten to do something but we had not. The list of vendors that were provided to us through Chandra and crew were all fabulous. The venue was beautiful. We got married in the snow on the Mt Hood Room patio with 28 of our nearest and dearest. The food was delicious, the drinks were tasty, and the dance floor and set up of the room we’re perfect for our group of 30. If we could do it all again, we wouldn’t change a thing. I highly recommend having any event at timberline Lodge. Thank you, Ladies for making our special day one that we will forever loom back on and smile.

    Wonderful, couldn’t have asked for more

    We had a beautiful brunch wedding almost a year ago and were planning from Ohio. Everything went smoothly and our requests were accommodated without issue. We were married and had our reception in The Ravens Nest and would recommend that to anyone. The views are gorgeous and it was perfect for an intimate wedding. The food was also so good, people raves about it (especially the bacon?!).

    Elopement wedding

    We had a very small spur of the moment wedding, with just about 30 family members in front of the grand fireplace. It was amazing! Everyone still can not stop talking about how beautiful everything was. Definitely unforgettable. We did not have any sort of meal service or reception, but everyone was very well taken care of with beverages for the ceremony. I wasn’t even expecting that so it was a nice extra touch. The gal that helped us was so accommodating and made sure everything was perfect for us. Could not be happier!!

    Don't even think twice about choosing another venue. If you want your friends and family to be "wow'ed" go with Silcox hut. I cannot thank the crew and especially Chelsea for the amazing job they did. Having no wedding planner and hardly any free time to plan a wedding, it went incredibly smooth and I was stress free the entire time. The food was amazing. The ambiance was amazing. Friends complemented us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I owe it all to timberline. We cannot thank you enough, and I cannot wait to spend another magical night up at Silcox Hut soon.

    Destination Wedding Made Easy!

    We got married in March 2018 and still cannot believe how beautifully perfect our wedding was at Timberline! We live in Wisconsin and had to put a lot of trust and faith in the wedding staff at Timberline to ensure every last detail of our destination wedding was accounted for. Truly, the day could not have gone any better! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and set-up just as expected in front of the fireplace. Food and beverages were impressive and delicious. The staff helped with table decor for dinner and I had nothing to worry about at all on the day of the wedding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mountain wedding!

    I can't begin to tell you how perfect our wedding went. From the physical beauty of the lodge and mountain, to the incredible food and service - it was magical.

    Chandra, the Timberline coordinator is the as good as they come. She is friendly, knowledgeable, creative and does everything she can to make the day special. He ability to help me create my vision and work through a crazy amount of emails and ideas was fantastic. I can't thank her enough for her part in our wedding.

    The lodge itself is historical and beautiful. We used three of their facilities, Silcox Hut for our rehearsal dinner, Raven's Nest for our ceremony and Ullman Hall for the reception. The rooms are beautiful, clean and have the most incredible views. We worked hard to ensure that we had light on the mountain for our ceremony and we got the most beautiful alpine glow at 5pm and sunset at 5:30pm - perfect times for sunset in February.

    I have zero complaints. Our entire experience was amazing. Thank you Timberline!

    Had such a wonderful experience getting married at Timberline Lodge. It was a truly magical day in one of the most beautiful places. We planned our wedding from across the country and the staff at Timberline was so wonderful with which to work. They were able to accommodate our requests and worked to make a truly flawless and amazing wedding. We got married outside on the patio behind the lobby with beautiful Mt Hood in the background. Our reception was in the Ullman Room. The room had spectacular views of Mt Hood and down the mountain and across the valley to Mt. Jefferson. We had our cocktail hour on the patio in front of the Ullman Room. The food was fantastic. The service was amazing and everyone we worked with were just wonderful. It was really fun having many of the guests staying at the Lodge. We would sit by the fire and chat in the morning or make s'mores outside on the patio in the evening. We also went on a hike with some of our guests the day after the wedding. The Lodge is such a unique, beautiful building and the setting is just gorgeous. Some of our guests also stayed down in the condos in Government Camp and felt they were very nice and a great value for families or couples staying together. Everyone who attended the wedding raved about the venue and the experience. I can't say enough about what a wonderful and spectacular wedding we had!

    This review is for our August wedding at Silcox Hut at Timberline Lodge. We didn’t have a great experience at the actual lodge - probably bad luck and bad timing (it was very busy), but we directly addressed that with them, so I won’t spend much time on the negatives. I agree with previous reviews that the staff seems overwhelmed, which occasionally made planning, logistics, and budgeting preceding the wedding day an arduous experience. I also agree with previous reviews that costs tend to mount quickly and somewhat surprisingly (if you want a fridge in your room, be prepared to pay extra, or you could have an $18/pp mimosa in your room while you’re getting ready. It’s a business, yes, but it didn’t feel like we got much in return for the high price of the room – no acknowledgement on the wedding night, etc., which was slightly disappointing).

    Okay, onto the good! Silcox Hut was an absolutely amazing place to get married. There were no reviews for summer weddings up there, so I had no idea what to expect. The answer: a perfect wedding, awed guests, fantastic views, and a gorgeous sunset. It did get a little toasty in the hut, as they have the fire lit for ambiance, but no one seemed to mind beyond a passing observation. Each and every member of the staff were wonderful – accommodating, helpful, and friendly (Steve Buchan, the Silcox coordinator, in particular – loads of compliments from our friends and family about how great he was). The food by far exceeded our expectations. It was truly first class, and there was plenty of it. The day really does run like clockwork at Silcox. They’ve got it down to a science and they know what they’re doing. Steve assured us that we were in good hands, and he was correct. If you’re having a small wedding or elopement, we would highly recommend booking Silcox Hut as your venue. Occasional planning mishaps prior to the main event aside, the wedding day itself was truly magical.

    The staff at Timberline Lodge made our wedding day perfect. The staff was so easy to work with before the wedding and we were working with them from out of state. Their staff had everything set up just the way we had asked and moved through our schedule flawlessly. We came from out of town and they were so helpful letting us store things in an office over night so we could keep our room clear. Our guests raved about the food and how well the wedding went, they were overly impressed by the venue and staff. The beauty of the venue was topped off by how helpful everyone was, I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married at such a beautiful location.

    Our daughters' wedding at Timberline was an incredible experience. The rehearsal dinner was up at Silcox Hut on Friday night with about 40 people taken up by snowcat. The bride and her bridesmaids stayed at Silcox that night. The next day we all went back up to Silcox for the ceremony. Later that afternoon we had a pre-dinner cocktail party in the main lobby at Timberline Lodge and a dinner reception in Ullman Hall (with s'mores on the patio). I can't express how beautiful the venues were, the staff were so kind and helpful and the food, oh my, the food at every event was just exceptional. We selected a wedding package that included the cocktail hour, a plated dinner, champagne toasts, cake, linens, candles, etc., and I would select this package again. Staff was available to help set-up and take down. Gifts were moved to a secure area during the reception. Wait staff, bartenders, etc. were all so friendly, engaging with our guests. Everything was done timely; food was hot. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather -- sunny, clear sky, tons of stars, almost full moon, NO WIND -- people were outside for all the events, even past midnight around the patio fire pits. Working with the sales/catering office was a bit frustrating at times -- they host a lot of events so don't seem to have time to get into the details of your particular event until about two weeks out. Several times I got different answers to questions by talking with different people. Be prepared for quite a few additional charges -- if it's not included in your package, you pay extra. But none of that takes away from what was a fantastic event and I would do it again exactly the same way!

    We had our wedding on 1/25/14 at Timberline Lodge, and I can't say enough great things about our experience. My husband and I LOVED the venue from even before we got engaged -- and both of us, as well as our families, were thrilled with the spaces available to us for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. What's more, the Timberline staff went above and beyond our considerably high expectations to make sure the day went off flawlessly. On top of the excellent service, the food was fantastic!

    Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous - every single detail and aspect was anticipated and taken care of. Chandra was an absolute doll to work with and all of her support of those at the Timberline Lodge. This was not just our venue, we stayed at the Timberline for a week. We had snow the day of our ceremony which was EXACTLY what we wanted coming all the way from Florida! Not sure how Chandra pulled that one off! The flowers were gorgeous and the florist graciously blended my peacock feathers with the bouquet - I had add-ons for the cake with the baker also graciously blended in to the design making my elopement ceremony special beyond any possible expectation. My new husband and I could not have expected any single thing to be better than what we received and encountered - it was an event, a visit and a memory that is forever at the top of my "BEST" list. Thank you Chandra and the rest of the Timberline team members!
