Organized, quick staff response time, beautiful views!

The admin staff were so organized and responded quickly to emails throughout the planning process. The venue was beautiful and all the tales and chairs were set up upon our arrival which made it easy for the remainder of the set up. My husband and I had the most wonderful wedding at Cape Horn!

Dream Venue!!!

Hoda’s Catering was absolutely incredible for our wedding! The food was a huge hit with all of our guests — people are still raving about the steak bite appetizers, the sea bass with mango, and those amazing potatoes. They were flexible with our cocktail choices and made the entire catering package so easy and enjoyable to use.

From start to finish, Hoda and her entire family were warm, kind, and a joy to work with. Our tasting was such a fun experience, and it gave us so much confidence going into the big day. On the wedding day itself, the servers were professional and attentive, helping everything flow seamlessly.

They offer excellent variety in their food options, and every dish was prepared beautifully. We truly loved working with them and can’t recommend Hoda’s Catering enough!

Incredible Wedding Venue

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience with Cape Horn Estate and Hoda’s Catering! From the very beginning, Hoda and Hani went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our wedding day was exactly what we envisioned. They weren’t just behind the scenes, they were onsite the entire time, personally ensuring everything ran seamlessly and that their staff provided the highest level of service.

The food was absolutely incredible, our guests are still raving about it! Hoda was so flexible and accommodating with the menu, not only for dinner but also for the bar, which made it easy to personalize everything to our taste and our guests’ preferences. The quality, flavor, and presentation exceeded our expectations in every way!

Cape Horn Estate itself is stunning, and paired with the attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine care from Hoda and Hani, it made our wedding day unforgettable. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way. If you’re looking for a venue and catering team who treat your day as if it were their own, look no further than Cape Horn Estate and Hoda’s Catering - you will be in the best hands possible!!

Wedding Review

Our wedding at Cape Horn Estate was beyond anything we could have imagined! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the people. Courtney is absolutely incredible—she went above and beyond in every way to make sure our day was everything we dreamed of (and more!). Her attention to detail, kindness, and dedication made the entire planning process and wedding day completely stress-free. We truly couldn’t have done it without her! She was our rock through the entire process, and it felt like she genuinely cared about us and our happiness and someone who truly wanted our day to be perfect.

Hani and Hoda, the owners, welcomed us like family from the very start. Their warmth and care made us feel right at home, and it was so clear how much they genuinely love what they do. They made sure every detail was perfect, and you can tell they pour their hearts into making every wedding special. It didn’t just feel like we were at a venue. It felt like we were celebrating at a place filled with love, with people who were just as excited for our marriage as we were.

The venue itself is stunning, the views, the atmosphere, and the layout are breathtaking, and all of our guests were blown away. The way the sunset hit the mountains and the property felt like something out of a dream, creating a moment we’ll never forget. We truly couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. If you’re looking for a venue that not only delivers a gorgeous setting but also a team that genuinely cares about you and your day, Cape Horn Estate is the place. We are forever grateful to Courtney, Hani, and Hoda for helping make our wedding the best, most unforgettable day of our lives!

10/10 Would Recommend

We had a wonderful experience working with Hoda’s Catering and Cape Horn Estate staff for our wedding!

We toured this venue as we were looking for places in the Gorge for our wedding. The view is spectacular and the natural landscaping is among the best you can find. Little did we know but this amazing venue is run by the same people who operate our favorite neighborhood restaurant in Portland: Hoda’s. We had them cater the reception and the food was incredible!

Throughout all the planning stages our hosts Hoda, Hanni, and Courtney were super accommodating, friendly, and easy to work with. Great price point compared to other venues in the Gorge for the amenities they provide. 10/10 would recommend!

Perfect for a Romantic Wedding.

Cape Horn was everything I was looking for in a venue. The scenery and ambiance was perfect. Hoda and Hani are the best to work with, and they set you up with the best wedding coordinators. We had Sweety, and she was great. They are all so kind and caring, the truly treat you like family and make sure your day goes exactly as you envisioned. The venue has everything needed for ceremony and reception. With majority of it being outside, they do have an option for indoors, should it rain on your wedding day. Honestly, we only viewed this venue for our wedding, and we were sold. I just truly loved everything about it.

Perfect experience

Hani, Hoda, and the rest of the Cape Horn Estate crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. We chose them as our venue hosts, and caterers. Hani and Hoda treat you like you are family. We had a tasting event with them at their restaurant and they spent hours with us. We ate. We drank. We talked about their family and ours. We discussed what we envisioned for our wedding. They were happy to answer all of our questions and break down pricing upfront. Cape Horn Estate the venue is gorgeous. The ceremony and reception area are surrounded by beautiful flowers and bushes in full bloom. The rope lights above the reception area provided a perfect amount of lighting after sunset. The bridal suite and groom's suite are beautiful. The food was delicious and there was plenty available for all our guests. The chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The okra rice with pine nuts might have been our favorite dish, though the batatas with hummus was a close second. The bartenders and servers were well dressed for the occasion and very kind to our guests. Hani and Hoda were there are our wedding and we saw them helping and working with their staff but were not intrusive at all. They met some of our friends and family who commented on how warm and welcoming they were. We really can’t say enough about the entire experience working with Cape Horn Estate. It was a magical wedding and they made sure that it was special. Thank you for everything Hani, Hoda, and the Cape Horn Estate team! You made our day perfect
