Absolutely Magical

We were looking for an outdoor venue and couldn’t have dreamed of a better one. The property is large and meticulously landscaped, every single corner is picturesque. It’s the only venue we toured where the reality was even better than the pictures, when you’re there it feels like you’re in a fantasy world. Our guests were amazed with how beautiful it was, and having the canoes to ride was such a fun activity for everyone! The family who run it were a pleasure to work with and are very flexible and accommodating. You can really make it your own and be creative, we’re so happy with how it all turned out. Cannot recommend it enough!

Perfect Gorge Venue

We absolutely loved getting married at BVL! It’s impossible to describe how beautiful this venue is, you just have to see it in person. We loved working with Judy who was enthusiastic and helpful during our tours of the property, and Jennifer in the office is very responsive and kind with questions. I would highly recommend a coordinator as the venue itself is huge, but being able to get into a canoe after your ceremony and have time alone on the lake before joining your cocktail hour? You can’t beat that. If you’re looking for a gorge venue that’s close to Portland, this is it. :)

Absolute magic

Capturing the magic of Bridal Veil Lakes as a wedding venue is an impossible task online. I cannot speak highly enough of this place and the people who run it. My wedding this past weekend was literally perfect, made so by the incredible surroundings, the beautiful flowers, and the lush scenery. Jennifer and the entire BVL team were communicative, friendly, and amazing to work with for our entire planning process. The venue itself is a steal in terms of price, and I wish I could relive my experiences here all over again. My guests were entranced, and so many people commented on how perfect and fun the venue was. 20/10 recommend!
