Youngberg Hill Reviews

We loved having our wedding at youngberg hill. We had a nice clear day where you can see for MILES all around you since the venue is about 700ft above sea level. We also had an amazing sunset that night that was just perfect. there is a nine room inn attached where you are required to rent out all the rooms ($1400 in 2024) along with the $8k venue fee if you do choose to have your wedding there. I was looking for a venue with some rooms attached so that was perfect. the bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in, with a nice balcony, two rooms, and a HUGE bathroom that was almost the same size as the room! the jetted tub was so nice the night before the wedding.

The reception area was SO NICE. you never know what youll get weather wise in Oregon (it rained the weekend before my wedding and was 97 degrees for my weekend) so it was nice to have peace of mind. you don't even really NEED to decorate the space because its already so nice and airy with all the garage doors. it was a really nice space for 88 people, lots of room to walk around but didn't feel too sparse. the bathrooms are several stairs DOWN though, just FYI for accessability.

we bought a case of their rose for the wedding and it was so popular, we only have half a bottle left at the end of the night!! SO GOOD! their whites are all amazing too! good selection of beers as well.

We spoke only with the DOC on site, named Lori, who was AMAZING. If you choose to go with youngberg hill I 100% recommend working with their onsite DOC. It made everything go so smoothly.

My husband and I visited Youngberg for the first time in Summer 2022 and we immediately fell in love with this winery. We chose to have an intimate, elopement wedding at Youngberg Hill in June 2024. All I can say is… wow! We had such a beautiful experience and every single member of the staff and coordinators were just incredible and accommodating, from start to finish. You all made our dreams come true! A huge thank you to Lori. The location, facilities and services are always five star! We couldn’t be happier. The wine, the scenery and hospitality are always a winner in our books! Thank you all so much.

We can't thank Lori at Wine Country Events enough for her hard work to make my daughter's wedding such an amazing event. She was organized, thorough, collaborative, flexible, and always on top of everything. Even our vendors made a point to let us know how much they enjoyed working with her along the way, and at the event. Her hard work made this day perfect for us and our guests! Thank you again to Lori and everyone at Youngberg Hill!

Youngberg Hill was the PERFECT place for our wedding. Stunning views, wonderful facilities, supportive and helpful staff, and reasonable prices. Thank you for making our special day that much more special.

We cannot speak highly enough about our experience at Youngberg. We fell in love with the views the moment we drove up the driveway that very first time. But it was ultimately the professionalism and hospitality of the Youngberg staff that made us we choose their venue.
Leading up to the wedding, we worked primarily with Nicolette and she was simply amazing. She made everything so easy and stress free. She was extremely responsive and always happy to jump on the phone to answer our endless number of questions. She also helped us with room reservations and general wedding logistics. As the wedding approached, we visited Youngberg a couple of times with our parents. Nicolette was always there to give us a hug, tell us how excited she was for our wedding day, and reassure us that she would be there every step of the way.
Our families stayed with us at Youngberg and it could not have been a better experience. Having everyone together was very special, particularly breakfast the next morning. It was quite memorable to reminisce the evening prior with our families over an amazing breakfast. The Youngberg staff absolutely spoiled us and was always available to help with anything we needed during our stay. They did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and welcome.
The views at Youngberg are breathtaking. Our guests have used their photos from Youngberg for their holiday cards, profile pictures, and phone backgrounds, which speaks volumes.
After getting married at Youngberg, we cannot imagine our wedding having been anywhere else. We also now have a special connection to Youngberg and cannot wait to celebrate many anniversaries there in the future.

Perfect venue for a wonderful wedding. I was planning from out of the state and this venue was so responsive. From my first contact to request information to the next day when the owner calling me back and spending so much time on the phone making sure I had everything I needed. I never felt that she didn't have my back. All emails were replied to quickly and everything was simple with their package. I hired Willabys catering but this was one of the few venues that allowed me to bring in any caterer I wanted. Their wines were so wonderful and my family & friends were wowed the whole time. The Innkeeper made sure everything is perfect and the mimosas were ready when we arrived. The Inn onsite made everything super simple and the rooms were beautiful, clean, and updated. The venue is breath taking and the views are even better in person. They made our day so very special. Thank you so much!

My daughter and I had toured several venues by the time we got to Youngberg Hill. We were initially impressed with the grounds, views, flexibility, and the ease in which the day would be by selecting a venue where we didn't have to deal with rentals and unknown vendors. We read all of their reviews and based our decision on our own experience. Coming from an event planning background myself, I have seen it all and my expectations were high. We met several times and even proposed a few new things. Nicolette was not only open minded about those, but coordinated it with the other vendors to make it happen. Willabys food was excellent, their staff was "on it" and all very nice. Many of our guests were from out of town and they are still raving about the wedding. While the views and their wonderful quality of wines are talked about regularly and were amazing, the ease of working through all the details and the timely replies to all my questions were fantastic. We all imagine what our special day is going to be like, and rarely does it end up that way. My daughter's wedding actually EXCEEDED what we had envisioned and a HUGE thank you to Nicolette and Willabys for executing such a successful wedding.

We could not have been happier with this venue selection. The venue, people who work there, services/package, wine, and the VIEW were everything we could have asked for. Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful. They went above and beyond each step of the way. The customer service from the very beginning was fantastic. Always replying quickly to all our needs or questions. We loved having our wedding party stay overnight at the Inn. So many details taken care of so when I showed up on the wedding day, all I had to do was think about my family, friends and seeing my man! I would highly recommend this place.

I absolutely loved may wedding in April. It was such find that I asked to write a review to let everyone know how special the whole experience was. From the first tour to follow up thru the year with dozens of questions thru the whole thing, I always got a helpful answer that was easy to understand. When I needed a lot of questions I would ask them to call me and I would hear from them withing the day. Yes, there are rules, but doesn't every place have them. You cant bring in our own liqueur, had to end by 11pm, and a few others that really were simple and helpful including having all 9 Inn rooms rented to our friends and family so there were no one else at the estate. My room was so beautiful and had everything we needed to get ready in before the wedding.
The package they have is 99% of what I wanted at my wedding and when I added things on they always confirmed that it could happen and the cost up front and how it would be managed. When the day arrived we were meet by the Innkeeper with a smile and a huge welcome. I knew she was going to meet us upon arrival because a few days before I got an email from Nicolette about some reminders that were great and it included general things to review upon arrival. I mean, we had the timeline all set months in advance but how great it was with the millions of family things going on the month before the wedding that we were reminded warmly of the final little details. The day was beautiful and the location spectacular. I loved that no one that I knew had been married here before even though they did weddings for about 10 years and had a plan for everything I asked for. Their wines are amazing and everyone was impressed with them. My family and friends were treated like their family and friends and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you for making our wedding one of the happiest days for all of us.

Youngberg hill is the most stunning and breathtaking place I have ever visited. If the incredible views are not enough, the whole staff is helpful and make you feel like nothing can go wrong, even when it does, Becky was right there to the rescue and saved the day. (We forgot our vows we had written and she printed them off and we also forgot our marriage license and she made sure we knew just what to do and made me feel calm again.) All of my guests are raving about how amazing it was. We came from 3 hrs away and it did not disappoint. I could not be happier!!! Nicolette was very easy to work with and took special requests on the type of beer my husband wanted when it was not within the usual options. Overall if I could give them 10 stars I would.

What a gorgeous setting! Youngberg Hill gave us the outdoors feeling we wanted for our reception while also providing the amenities of their beautiful event space. Nicolette was responsive and easy to communicate with and responded to our questions quickly. The view reminded me of Tuscany. Our guests were able to spend time outside at the beginning of the event while staying warm inside for dinner. We had about 7 children around the age of 4 and were so glad that Nicolette recommended Jordan as a "sitter" to attend to the kids. The parents were able to enjoy themselves while Jordan entertained the kids with crafts we provided. This worked so well. The parents raved about her and the kids had such a good time.

We feel extremely fortunate to have had Youngberg Hill as our ceremony & reception venue! When first looking for venues, we lived in Napa, but given we grew up in Oregon. We toured dozens of venues and when we were at Youngberg Hill there was an immediate without a doubt moment knowing this was the place. From the first moment we asked for information, to the tour and contract, everything was easy to follow and clearly outlined. Yes, there were a lot of details but all weddings have them. We loved that they had the expertise of guiding us to the day we wanted and dreamed of.
After contracting communication was fast and easy! The owner, Nicolette, was available at all times for questions. So flexible and we loved it. I visited Youngberg Hill multiple times for logistics and Nicolette was always extremely welcoming. We were offered a seated tasting wine experience to enjoy and get to know their wines. Oh, did I mention that their wines were amazing! I am what most would consider a wine snob because I grew up in the wine industry and my husband works in the CA wine industry. Youngberg Hill’s vineyard and biodynamic wine practices are clearly evident in the quality of their wines. My husband and I discuss many details including technical aspects to the winery regiment that were all top of the line.
On the wedding day things could not have gone better! We were allowed access to the event site for set up at 11AM and our Inn room was ready at 12:30. They have a beautiful Inn at this location and the rooms were wonderful. The rooms were all well appointed with luxury. I loved that we didn’t need to stay and clean up that night after the wedding like so many places require. They cleaned up everything and staged all our personal items for us to easily pick up the next morning after checking out of the inn. We received so many compliments from our guests on the beauty of the space and professionalism of all involved. Since many of our guests were from out of town and in the wine industry, we loved that they were able to experience what Oregon wine country offers. All of this and I haven’t even talked about the breathtaking views! We are so pleased with everything and recommend you check this place out!

The venue is amazing. The location is spectacular and the new event building itself is well constructed but understated to allow the view to be the focal point. You get a view of the vineyard, valley, mountains, rolling hills, and it is just green as far as the eye can see. The site is flat and in one area which made it easy to do everything. The ceremony and reception were so well designed and easy to connect everything we wanted. We were looking for a vineyard that had a great indoor/outdoor option in case Oregon decided to be Oregon and rain on the wedding day. This was the place. The Inn on the estate was required for the night but we loved that as we got to be there all day and see everyone the next morning. We didn't have to stay late to clean up as the staff did that which was a wonderful way to end the wedding, celebrating instead of cleaning. All our personal items were collected for us and secured for us to pick up the next morning before we left. There are rules about some things like guests coming in early and having a party at the Inn and kids but I think they just have to spell out simple things for flaky brides. Overall, it was wonderful. It absolutely made our day to be in this beautiful vineyard and our guests just loved it the whole time. It could not have been better. Thank you to everyone at Youngberg Hill from the owner, Nicolette, and the whole staff (especially the inn staff) for a fantastic time!

I loved my wedding at Youngberg Hill. I cant say enough about the whole experience. It was so easy to set up and work thru the details. They have a preferred caterer, Willabys, who can coordinate everything or you can chose your own caterer which was so nice to have it open. I liked the ongoing emails from them updating things as we went. Nothing was a surprise except how I looked in my gown. The staff was wonderful to everyone in the group. The wine was wonderful and the Inn rooms were beautiful. They had some rules that made the day go well and without them it would have been challenging. I will cherish my memories of this day and will go back for getaways to celebrate my anniversary for years to come.

I loved everything about this place. We first came here for wine tastings several years back and we loved it. On our next visit, we stayed overnight and were fans for a lifetime. We loved it so much that our daughter just got married here this past summer and I can honestly say that it was better then I could have ever imagined. Nicolette, the owner, was attentive, responsive to all our requests, and created a team that made each of our 150 wedding guests welcomed and cared for. We celebrated, danced and laughed our way into the night. The follow up after the wedding was easy and we got our full damage deposit back and a bit more as our group drank less then expected at the bar. The way the bar is set up, you pay for what your group actually consumes and there is no min. orders or advance cases to buy. We loved that option. Having all 9 Inn rooms rented by our wedding guests made it easy to get ready and we didn't have to travel after the wedding. Breakfast the next morning came with a fantastic endless pot of coffee. Thank you to everyone. We look forward to coming back with the kids to make more memories!

I loved every part of my wedding and can't thank them enough! They were wonderful to work with and they helped at every step. The staff was amazing thru the whole process. Offered more then we were contracted for and made everyone feel welcomed. I can't wait to celebrate our anniversaries with them in the future. A wonderful place for wine tasting too.

I loved every minute of my wedding. This place was fantastic and the people are so welcoming. I couldn't have dreamed up a better day and I wanted to thank them so much. Every time I needed something they were there. They offered more then we were contracted for at no additional charge. I love that I didn't have to pre-buy at the bar for my guests and I wasn't charged a per guest fee like so many other places do. We had all the rooms at the hotel and they are warmly decorated and felt new. I am looking forward to going back and celebrating our anniversary and enjoying the views with a glass of wine!
I don't write reviews and signed on just to let everyone know that they went above and beyond.

An Amazing Venue! Our son got married here and we fell in love with this place from the first time we toured. Easy to work with, had a process that explained each are we would need, the owner was always there to answer our questions quickly, and they did everything we asked. They made it simple and flexible. We could use their preferred caterer or pick on of our own. I loved that as so many other places we toured had a list of a couple of caterers that we had to use. We also didn't need to pre-buy anything from the bar which is one of many reasons we selected this site. We were sent reminders and updates and even did the spacial seated wine tasting for us to enjoy months before the wedding. When we arrived we were greeted at the door by the Innkeeper and our rooms were set and beautiful. The wedding site was so breathtaking that photos don't do it justice. The next morning we had a great cup of coffee and got to enjoy it with our family and friends. I would recommend this place to anyone for a wedding. We will be coming back for a getaway and more wonderful wine!

From the moment we first stepped foot on this property, we were in love with everything it had to offer. Our family and friends stayed at the Inn Thursday and Friday night for a Friday evening wedding of 200 guests. The staff and the interactions with the everyone on site were responsive and helpful in every way. The Inn is gorgeous! The views! Everyone offered over and over to help and step in with anything we wanted and needed. The meals they provided were delicious. The morning walks and the early mornings and late nights on the front porch made everything a little more perfect. The recommended venders that Nicolette referred exceeded our expectations. Willaby's Catering was a perfect partner. The memories created for us, our friends and family in such a beautiful setting, will forever keep our hearts overflowing. Congratulations to our daughter Kelsey and her new husband Cory. We are so blessed to have been able to start your many years together with such an incredible weekend! Thank you Youngberg Hill!

Best Wedding Ever! We had our wedding in June and it was such a magical day. Everyone was helpful and it was easy to put the pieces together. From my first email to them to my last it was easy to communicate with them and always had a fast reply to all my questions. We had 170 people at the wedding and they are all still talking about the wonderful time we had. The lodge is a great plus and we booked it knowing it would be easy to get ready and stay the night. The employees were there to help and we felt like we were important and they were always available. They make great Pinot wines and they are exactly what we wanted to showcase Oregon family farms and the quality that wine country offers is evident. And the Views!!! You wont forget them but I will not forget how special and easy my wedding was! We got more then was in the contract and the costs were exactly what we contracted for a year in advance. I would highly recommend this place for all events and we cant wait to go back to visit!

We had our wedding here in April and it was amazing. I have so many wonderful memories with my family and friends that will last a lifetime. This venue was soooo beautiful and totally meet our expectation. Thank you to the whole staff for making the entire experience easy and we felt so welcomed. The estimates and emails from Nicolette updating us throughout the process were answered quickly and we had everything we could ask for. The wedding week email information & reminder was great too as we booked this venue a year in advance so it was was a great help. The Innkeepers, housekeepers, bartenders, and they guy helping my dad move a big bag of wedding things were so happy to be around. They require a damage deposit that they state is returned within 15 days but we got ours back in 7 days. I would totally recommend this place!

I got married at Youngberg Hill last weekend and I am still trying to find the words to describe it. For starters – the views are just breathtaking. The property itself is up on a hill, away from anything else, which makes it peaceful and serene. It’s like a little piece of heaven. Youngberg Hill was the first venue we looked at and nothing else we found compared to what Youngberg had to offer in terms of the views, the wine, the Inn onsite, and of course the staff. We fell in love with Molly on our first visit; after touring the venue we stopped in for a wine tasting. She was so sweet, and knowledgeable about the wines that if we hadn’t already been sold on the venue, she would have sold us on it! Every time we have gone back to visit, or just pop in for a wine tasting, she greets us with a smile like we are old friends. During the wedding I had the pleasure of meeting some of the other amazing individuals who make Youngberg such a special place. Michelle and Becky, the amazing ladies who take care of the Inn, took such good care of our guests. Always helpful and extremely accommodating - I cannot say enough good things about them. Our family who stayed at the Inn commented many times about the spectacular customer service – everyone really made us feel welcome and comfortable, I could go on and on… Anyone considering Youngberg Hill for their wedding should absolutely do it – it is the right choice, you’ll love your pictures and your guests will thank you for it!

I don't like writing reviews but had to with this one as it was a wonderful experience. We used Youngberg Hill for the views, new event site that fit wedding and the service. All of our needs and requests were replied to easily and quickly.
We were taken care of from the moment we arrived and all our needs were attended to. The information was clear from the beginning and everything they said they would do they did. Many wineries require you to pre-buy wine but this one was based on usage and we used less then the average group that was estimated. Their wines are fantastic! The Inn was a huge help as we stayed the night and woke up to our family and friends before leaving for our honeymoon. The coffee and breakfast hit the spot in the morning. I would recommend using them and loved how the package is set up.

Our wedding was wonderful and we could not thank them enough for all they did and all the extra things they helped us with. Their staff was wonderful and the location is AMAZING. Every time we needed help because we didn't have our act together they were there. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding experience.

We had a 120 person wedding at Youngberg Hill in October 2017 and it was beautiful. The place is on top of a vineyard surrounded hill and the breathtaking views that will stay with you for a lifetime. We looked at a few different caterers but ended up using Willabys who managed the site for us and took care of all our numerous needs. The Inn was so great to use to get ready in and for our out of town guests to stay at so they didn't need to drive. Other guests stayed in downtown McMinnville which was 10 minutes drive. I honestly have no complaints. The event building fit everyone easily as we knew the ceremony and reception needed to be inside in October but we were able to spend time outside for photos with the fall colors. Nicolette, the owner, always replied quickly to all my emails through the whole process and helped out at every step. All the costs were the same that were quoted in the contract a year in advance so even if the costs went up we never paid extra which did not happen with some other vendors. I would recommend this place and also I want to thank them for a wonderful time for everyone.

I had my wedding at Youngberg Hill in October 2017 and it was an amazing. My friends and family are still talking about it and we could not have been happier. From our first email to them to the last follow up after the wedding they were easy to work with. We rented all 9 inn rooms and found that to be a great way to start and finish the wedding. The innkeeper and the whole staff were welcoming. The owner answered all our questions in a timely and easy way to help put the pieces together. We used their preferred caterer, Willabys, and they were so easy to set things up with and had such great ideas of how to manage all the details for the day of my dreams. Thank you to Nicolette and her husband Wade for opening up their estate for us. We look forward to many years of anniversary celebrations with you.

The Inn and Vinyard views drew us to select this venue for our wedding. We had the most amazing day and Inn staff went well out of their way to make sure our day was special and our guests were cared for like family.

Like being in Tuscany Italy. A beautifully manicured estate with a staff that aim to please. Everyone at our daughters wedding commented on how beautiful the venue was. The B & B rooms are beautifully appointed and many have spectacular views of the valley. We used the recommended caterers and DJ and both were excellent. Thanks to Wayne and Nicolette's, the owners, careful planning and attention to detail the wedding went off without a hitch and my wife and I were able to enjoy the day. When you stay at the B & B at the venue Becky and Bobby will see to it that you all of your needs are met with a smile. The real question is if I had another daughter to throw a wedding for would I host it at Youngberg Hill again? ABSOLUTELY!

We loved this venue. It was gorgeous and allowed us to rent the entire inn for our wedding party which was something we had a hard time finding elsewhere. The venue speaks for itself and doesn't require a lot of decorations. The fact that they provide the tent, table and chairs was a huge relief and they are definitely set up for events with the outdoor bar, catering kitchen and nice outdoor bathrooms!

We had our wedding there at the end of April. It was the elopement package but a fairly large group when all was said and done. Very accommodating to our group and every request we had. They paired us with an excellent Judge who gave a lovely ceremony. The weather didn't agree with us but even though it rained they were able to host a very nice wedding.

Youngberg is the most wonderful place for a wedding. We were so happy with our choice of venue we would not do anything different. Wayne and Nicolette and their staff were so accommodating right down to greeting our guests as they arrived to saying goodbye at the end. Willabys Catering did the catering, SHE Designs for the floral, Myriad Cakes for cake, DJ by NW Mobile DJ and photography was ADB Photographix WHAT A DREAM TEAM! This truly was a flawless beautiful event.

We just had our wedding at Youngberg Hill in mid-August. Nicolette and Wayne are impeccable hosts and very easy to work with. Their organization and welcoming attitudes contributed to a smooth, joyful event. Nicolette responded in very timely and helpful ways throughout the planning process.
The view from Youngberg is breath taking. Many of our guests thanked us for showing them such a beautiful spot, particularly one with such good wine. Our stay at the inn was the perfect way to top off an amazing wedding. The rooms are very comfortable with each room providing a different spectacular view of the vineyards and surrounding area. Breakfast the next morning was quite a treat! Our vegetarian and child-friendly restrictions were seamlessly accommodated.
Every little detail is thought of at Youngberg Hill. We had a difficult time finding the words to express our gratitude. We look forward to return visits to enjoy the inn, the view and the wine!

My wife and I were married in July 2012 here and could not have found a better venue and team to work with in planning our special day. Nicolette and her husband, Wayne, were very nice, responsive during the planning process, and made sure all of the details were looked after so we didn't have to sweat the small stuff.

From the first tour through the big day, we were very happy with our decision to wed here. The view is breathtaking, the facilities are top-notch, the wine is outstanding, the staff is hard working and truly friendly, and the list goes on and on.

The rooms at the Inn are very nice and gave our wedding party (we did a night wedding, thus renting the entire Inn as well) plenty of space and an amazing night at a B&B.

Wayne is fairly strict on the music volume level, but was more than willing to help us use his decibel meter to find the max so we didn't go over it. The 10:00 pm end time was no bother to us, our group had no issues taking taxis back to town to keep the party going if they wanted to.

The morning after we enjoyed a great breakfast with, again, great service by the Inn's staff. We hand ample time to pack up and get our selves together before check out. Plus, we left our cake topper at the Inn and Wayne kindly mailed it to our house, talk about care and consideration!

Bottom line: we would absolutely pick Youngberg Hill if we did it all over again. Not only that, but we plan on returning for future anniversaries. You can't go wrong here.

If you want to have your wedding in the most beautiful setting imaginable, with a staff of people backing you up so you have not one worry in the world on the day of the event, then hire Nickolette at Youngberg Hill Vineyards and Inn. Absolutley amazing. Breathtaking view. Incredible staff. Beautiful Inn. They have this down to a science and I would recommend this to anyone. Going into in blind, I was a little frightened by the price of having a wedding - and they made it worth every penny. They took my vision and made it reality and it was very stress free for me. I wouldn't change a thing.

July 7, 2012 We enjoyed a wonderful wedding day with our daughter, son-inlaw, family and friends at Youngberg Hill Vineyard Inn. Planning a wedding from a distance could have been a challenge but Nicolette at Youngberg assisted with the process with emails and phone calls when neccesary. As parents of the bride, we were thrilled when we arrived that beautiful Saturday morning. The setting and home are magnificent. A breathtaking view. Our lodging and service were defintely 5 star. All of the staff and vendors were gracious and accomodating. Our daughter and son-in-law had the wedding of their dreams! We only wish we stayed longer. Mahalo, George and Connie

I was extremely impressed with this venue. My husband and I live in Maui and did all the planning via e-mail with Nicolette. Her responses were prompt and thorough. We are both from Oregon and I had only visited the venue once before. If you are looking for an over the top view of the Willamette Valley and a comfortable, classy outdoor setting for your wedding this is the place. The staff was extremely accommodating. My husband and I even did a day wedding rehearsal and everything worked out excellent. The only thing I was nervous about was the music not being loud enough and everyone who was not staying at the Inn having to leave by 10 pm. I thought it would of felt like the wedding ended early but it didn't. We got to dance to all the music we love until 9:30 at the perfect noise level and then the music was brought down a little until 10pm when everyone was ready to leave. The timing was perfect! One recommendation I have is we were constantly preparing for rain and didn't prepare much for heat considering it is Oregon. We had a beautiful hot day! I would recommend if it's a hot day having hand held fans or umbrellas for your guests to stay cool and protected from the sun. Our ceremony was short so we didn't have to deal with the heat to much and for the reception the guests could get out of the sun because it was protected under beautiful big white tents. I wish I could do it all over again. Visit their website as well. Very helpful. Also, her preferred vendors list was perfect. Our caterer Willabys out of Salem was amazing. Jean is the owner from Willabys and she did awesome. She was also my day of wedding coordinator and was perfect. Karen Egan from Madison Avenue Flowers was my florist. My flowers couldn't of been more beautiful. My DJ/Entertainer, Jesse Bearden from Event Team Entertainment was like your best guy friend from college. He was so professional and cool. He even brought my husband and I a drink at one point without us asking. Everything was a dream come true and we wish we could do it all over again.

We loved this location and everything they offered. The views, the building, and the people helping were all great. We loved the flexibility that we could select our own caterer or use their preferred one, Willabys, and that we were NOT being charged per person for anything and it was all included in the site fee. The inn rooms were wonderful to use to get ready in and go to after the reception and we added cheese trays in the rooms to have before the wedding. There are some rules about inn guests going into the tasting room area and arriving early that were explained in advance but it seemed to all work because it all flowed and worked out great. Coffee & breakfast at the Inn was easy as well as checking out the next morning as all of our items were staged in one area for easy removal so we didn't need to stay late after the wedding to clean up. I love wine and Youngberg Hill's wines are wonderful but my husband loves beer and they use Golden Valley Brewery so we were both happy. In the end, we all had a great day and I would recommend this place.

There is no doubt that when you book your wedding with Youngberg Hill that it will exceed your expectations. I just had my wedding there this past July and not only is the view breathtaking but the Inn is so cute and you truly feel like this family puts all of their love into this beautiful place. My day was the more than wonderful because of everyone involved. Nicolette and her wonderful daughter made my day so great. I wish we could do it all over again :)

I loved everything about my wedding here. We found this place for wine tasting and it was amazing and this was the first reason we fell in love with it. The second were the people. They were all so happy, warm, and welcoming. The third was the owners. They were attentive, passionate and hard working. On our wedding tour, Nicolette said that her family (meaning everyone on the hill that worked there) would take care of ours and she kept her word in every way. Our day had some family drama like many weddings do but I would not change a thing. We will be back again to celebrate anniversaries and just to get away to one of our favorite places on earth!
I went thru the entire review and just now realized that I didn't mention the views but while they were spectacular in every way and the photos don't do it justice its the place and the people that warms my heart the most!

Absolutely beautiful. Kind of annoying that you have to have "loud music" turned down after 10PM. Other than that, everything was great. They respond to emails quickly and they're very accommodating. Every wedding guest of mine told me that our venue (Youngberg hill) was the most beautiful they've been to

Of course, I will start this review by saying how spectacular and amazing this venue is. It has to be hands down THE most gorgeous wedding venue in Oregon IMHO. Working with Nicolette and her staff they were consistently attentive and responsive to our needs throughout the planning process. The tough thing for us was planning our wedding remote and not having the ability to drive up to the venue at any given time, especially since the majority of our wedding was done almost entirely DIY. That said YBH is absolutely hands down wonderful if you are relying on a wedding planner to do the majority of, if not all the leg work for you.

Because we were so hands on and planned everything ourselves there were a few things that we didn't fully understand until later on in the process such as being able to see the separate catering contract that non preferred caterers are required to sign while we were on the hunt for our caterer. However, this was something that was easily sorted in due time. My only advice for future DIY brides to be, is that if you are planning your wedding here, be very clear on the expectations of you and your vendors upfront.

Other than that minor detail, the staff at YBH is incredibly hospitable and helpful. Breakfast the next day is completely legit and perfect for any potential hangover (assuming you future brides are renting the entire inn for your party or for you and your fiancee at the very least). The Inn itself is gorgeous and I could not have been more happy having my wedding at such a welcoming and wonderful venue. My husband and I will DEF be back to celebrate future anniversaries :-)

My husband and I are so thrilled with how our wedding turned out at Youngberg Hill. Not only were we surrounded by incredible valley views but we were also surrounded by amazing family and friends. The staff at the Inn made us feel very welcome and that our wedding was most important even though there was a wedding the following day. The owner of the Inn even went above and beyond for me by having a neighbor bring her horse by after the ceremony so I could take pictures on it in my wedding dress! This was a complete surprise to me and all of the wedding guests. Needless to say the kids at the wedding LOVED the horse and even were lucky enough to get pony rides. I don't know many owners of wedding venues would do such an amazing thing for a bride. The only thing that I wish was different about this venue is that the music has to be turned down by 9:30 pm. Many of us would have loved to keep dancing and enjoying everyone's company longer. 4.5 hours goes by very quickly when having so much fun. Overall, Youngberg Hill is an amazing place to have a wedding and I would recommend it to any bride looking for the perfect vineyard setting.

Youngberg Hill is an absolutely BREATHTAKING venue. My fiance (at the time) and I had several tours lined up for possible wedding locations. YH was our first, and the second we stepped out of the car we KNEW this was where we were getting married. Nicolette met us to tour the property and talk through logistics of having our wedding at this venue. She was friendly and professional, and no BS - which i appreciated. So many places look to nickel and dime you, this was not one of them. They were upfront and clear about pricing and what was/was not included.

the property is just breathtaking... 360 views of vineyards and beautiful scenery of wine country. We had our ceremony outside overlooking the view, and the reception was in a building with 3 full sides of bay-doors so it was a very open reception. You could see the view at all times. The building was also a nice backup plan in case you get stuck with any rain. I could not imagine being married anywhere else.

beautiful Location-- wish the party could have been a little longer (10pm music must end)-- but that was part of the location site-- Quite Peaceful Beautiful Vineyard :) Couldn't ask for a better view.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is very responsive to questions. They manage expectations carefully, almost to the point of being off putting about who can come to the Inn to get ready for the wedding, but in the end they worked with us on check-in times so that people could get ready and everyone had a great time. They have some very specific requirements like child care and a very specific type of insurance policy, all of which worked out but be sure to read the fine print.

We had a beautiful wedding at Youngberg. The setting was a dream and couldn't of been better. Our guests were saying it was the most gorgeous wedding they ever been to. Having the Inn there made it easy for guests to stay the night and continue to party with us after the wedding.

Used Youngberg Hill for our wedding August, 2011. Nicolette (the owner) was great to work with, and always got back to us. The site is beautiful and lived up to our expectations. The fact that it is an Inn and our guests could stay was awesome. Hospitality was great. The only issue we had was with the caterer (Cafe' Uncorked) who was on their preferred vendor list. But since August, I believe they have added more caterers to their list. Overall it was a great experience with Younberg Hill and hope to go back for our anniversaries!

Youngberg Hill is an amazing venue. We had a long engagement, so we booked about 1.5 years in advance and didn't have to plan much from the start. Overall, Nicolette and team are really great to work with, but there were some things that stuck with us after the wedding we wished had been taken care of or had better knowledge of.

About 2-3 months before our wedding, we learned that there was an extra room added to the Inn. Of course, you have to book the full thing, so we had to find another relative willing to pay the $200+ a night for the room. We also learned around this time that Nicolette would be out of town and another person would take care of us at the Inn, but some details weren't passed along or were overlooked. For example, we filled out a form beforehand for what we'd like in the room and during the ceremony. We checked that we wanted mimosas in the bride's room and champagne for a toast, but we had to ask for the mimosas after realizing they weren't there and there was no champagne to toast. We also ordered the Syrah for our red wine and they were pouring Cuvee instead. The breakfast was mediocre for what we had paid for per room - granola, fruit and muffins.

Youngberg Hill made our wedding dreams come true. They have a lot of requirements, but they are all in place to make your wedding day absolute perfection. This was a little more expensive than other venues we viewed, but it was well worth the extra cash. We were their priority and we knew it. We also really enjoyed being able to stay at the inn with many of our family and friends on the night of the wedding. Breakfast the following morning was amazing!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Youngberg Hill Winery. Nothing can compare to the scenery and location. Luckily we worked with an amazing wedding planner (you must have one at this location). Katie with Portland Event and Design was a great helper for a location that clearly hosts lots of events. We had good communication between the general manager of the winery.

Youngberg hill is a great wedding venue facility with horrible people running it. The view is beautiful, and the space is just what we were looking for with the open floorplan and the roll up garage doors. Unfortunately, Nicolette made the entire wedding planning process, and part of our wedding weekend incredibly difficult. A few recommendations I would give to anyone looking to host their wedding there – get everything in writing and use Willaby’s as the catering and coordination company. Nicolette will retract what she said multiple times. Myself and my husband, along with both our parents all noted specific things that then she later went back on. For example, she will say you can choose any beer, but it must be from Golden Valley, then depending on what Youngberg has a surplus of at the time, you will be forced to have that at your wedding. Nicolette and her husband were incredibly rude to myself and our bridal party, including our photographer, on the day of our wedding and the day after. Willaby’s was the only thing that helped us through the process of dealing with them. Be prepared for additional fee’s to come through in your final bill including an additional 18% gratuity on all of the rooms, that’s on top of the rates, service charges and taxes and fees. That’s along with a handful of petty false charges they will work in. Some vendors will charge more for simply being at Youngberg because they are so difficult to work with. Overall our day was beautiful and amazing, but in no thanks to Nicolette and her husband. We are thankful for the many amazing vendors that we had the opportunity to work with and we were overall incredibly disappointed to have given so much money to Youngberg.

READ THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF HAVING YOUR WEDDING HERE

Event space itself: Beautiful space and great staff - 10/10 for them.

The reason for the abysmal review is that the owner, Nicolette, was a complete nightmare to work with. If you can see yourself being happy with literally any other venue, definitely do not book here.

If this is the only place you can see yourself being happy with, make sure to proactively check on these two things, which ended up being the biggest issues for us due to Nicolette's complete ineptitude:

1. Cocktails: She limits hard liquor consumption to one hour (something she did not communicate to us until after we had signed the contract) and only allows 2 signature cocktails. You can push for 3 cocktails, but they have to be suuuuper simple, and she will still charge you the exorbitant fee of $14 per drink.

2. Inn Rooms: She requires you to book out all of the inn rooms the day of your wedding, which is fair. The thing she failed to mention to us before we booked was that she doesn't LET you book out any of the other days of the weekend if there is another wedding. So if you are getting married on Saturday, you would have to stay somewhere else on Friday and move rooms the morning of the wedding. Another flag that she failed to proactively communicate to us: The rooms show up as booked online, so make sure your guests don't just look online to see if they're booked.

Key takeaway: Get everything in writing. Don't assume she will be reasonable or helpful at any point.

Staff was completely rude to a number of people in our wedding party. Great venue but horrible people and customer service.

Buyer Beware: Do not get married at Youngberg Hill. While the location is
one of the most beautiful in the Willamette valley, the owners were
consistently difficult and terrible to work with. We were married there
last year and we found the owners, Nicolette and
Wayne, to be poor communicators, aggressive, and rude. Every invoice and
email exchange required a follow up phone call or two because either the
invoice and charges were wrong or they left basic questions unanswered.
They nickle and dimed us at every corner. They refused to return our
security deposit, falsely claiming that the tent company damaged their
property (although there are no photos and evidence and they’ve worked with
that same tent company many times before), and they also went after our
“day-of” insurance company to try to get more money. I am the owner of a
small business and I cannot believe the level of unprofessionalism
Youngberg Hill gets away with, I am sure it is because the wedding industry
doesn’t have repeat customers and their location is idyllic. But don’t be
fooled, they are a scam operation, spend your money and time somewhere else.

UPDATE: After my wedding, the owners asked me to participate in a scam to
get my day-of-wedding insurance to pay for imaginary lawn damage in the
amount of $15,000! The owners also demanded that I sign a non-disclosure
agreement so that I would never reveal the arrangement to anyone. Of
course I refused. The owners then sued me...and lost. Please see Yamhill
County Court Case 18SC19582 for more information. Once again, the owners
at Youngberg Hill are dishonest scam-artists. They have been trying to
scam money from me for almost 2 years after my wedding and ultimately lost
in court. Take a look at other negative reviews on the internet. This is
not the first time they've done this.
