Amazing Venue
Magical and Perfect
Most of our guests traveled from out of town, and nearby hotels like Columbia Cliff Villas and Westcliff lodge offered budget-friendly options that were within walking distance of the CGH. I stayed in the Penthouse Riverfront Suite at Columbia Cliff Villas the night before, getting ready there on the wedding day. The breathtaking view overlooking the ceremony site was unforgettable. The Honeymoon Suite at CGH, where we stayed the night of the wedding, was the epitome of vintage elegance—perfectly matching our vision.
The CGH staff handled everything with grace. A few guests were cut off from drinking, which was likely for the best. I was initially concerned about post-reception cleanup, but the staff neatly organized my decor for easy pickup the next morning—a huge relief given how much I brought!
The food was exceptional, the staff attentive, and the scenic beauty of the gorge was unparalleled. We’re already excited to return and relive our perfect day. Highly recommend the Columbia Gorge Hotel for a seamless, unforgettable wedding experience.
perfect day
It was a spectacular wedding!
Amazing! Elisa the wedding coordinator event above and beyond for our special day!
Elisa their wedding coordinator. She was absolutely wonderful! She made our now small-scale, 1 month planned, somewhat impromptu wedding feel just as important and special as any other “normal” wedding at the hotel. Elisa’s attention to detail, organization, attentiveness, compassion, and kindness, helped salvage and elevate our day. She was so easy to work with, she accommodated our every need/want, and made the entire planing process flawlessly easy and fun. We are so thankful to have had her with us during this process and know that our special day would not have been as spectacular nor would it have gone off SOO smoothly without her. Beautiful grounds, great staff, astounding coordinator. We highly recommend!

It was an honor to work with Columbia Gorge Hotel at Erin and Kevin's wedding this past Saturday. Our couple was stress free while doing their wedding prep which says amazing things about their wedding planner Teresa and her staff. We also liked seeing Teresa's staff ensure that our couple ate and drank. They went over and beyond by catering their drinks and appetizers to the garden while we were capturing their after ceremony portraits. Their reception was beautiful and fun! We highly recommend the Columbia Gorge Hotel for all your events and wedding needs.
The Columbia Gorge Hotel is a gorgeous venue for a wedding or any event. Teresa and her staff are very accommodating, fun to work with and dedicated to making your day extra special. Highly recommended!
Columbia Gorge Hotel is a stunning venue set right on the Columbia River with an old world, elegant 20's feel to it. A beautiful drive from Portland, this gem is a must-see.
