A Perfect Wedding Weekend

We booked the property and all the houses sight-unseen for our April 2022 wedding.
We knew there was a 50/50 chance that it could pour all weekend but we were blessed with clear skies and absolutely perfect weather. Kathleen and family were communicative, professional and kind throughout the process. When one of the rental houses fell through for reasons beyond her control, Kathleen gave us heaters and lawn games at no extra cost.

We stayed from Thursday- Monday and had all houses booked from Thursday-Sunday. There was nothing better than waking up and being steps away from all our closest friends and family. Everyone staying in the houses could not stop gushing about how spectacular they were and how comfortable the beds were. Having the space and opportunity to make a weekend-long event for all of our guests was priceless. With so many different options (beach for a bonfire/welcome dinner, yoga on the lawn near the Headland House, and the ceremony/reception on the main lawn), each day allowed for a new experience.

Thank you Kathleen and all of the amazing vendors who made our wedding the best weekend we could have asked for. We look forward to visiting Crook Point again and again!

Oregon elopement

My husband and I knew we wanted to get eloped but the question was where ? We both always thought Ireland was beautiful but with Covid we didn’t think it would be a good option. I then googled places in the US that look like Ireland and Crook Point popped up. Crook Point is absolutely stunning. We could have not chose a better place. We stayed in the look out cabin which is a dream. I did not want to leave and hope to return one day. I highly recommend Crook Point the whole process was easy and communication was great.

July Wedding on the Oregon Coast

My husband and I loved working with Crook Point and Kathleen from the moment we first met her in our interest meeting. She was accommodating, answered all our questions, and was incredibly thorough. Crook Point is a stunning venue which amazed all of my friends and family from out of town. The Arch Rock Main Lawn is nestled in a cove of towering evergreen trees, with the ceremony space overlooking Arch Rock on the Pacific Ocean, providing for multiple gorgeous photo opportunities. I am so grateful we found Crook Point-- our day was perfect.

Coastal Perfection!

Crook Point is the definition of coastal perfection. It is picturesque, romantic and well laid out, a lovely combination for your wedding celebration. The ceremony and reception sites sit right on the bluff overlooking the famous Oregon coast Arch Rock, what a dream. There are several homes on the property, keeping everyone close and included for your special weekend. The management is quick and responsive! We loved coordinating a wedding at Crook Point and we look forward to bringing more couples here in the future!

Byrdies Beach house

The overall experience I had staying at Byrdies Beach House was more than I dreamed of. The support and comfort truly makes you feel like you are living a dream! My wedding week was the most amazing experience and I wish I could go back and relive it over again. Kathleen and her team are wonderful and make your stay so effortless and accommodating.

I will always be thankful for the time I had and the memories I’ll never forget!

Thank you so much for being a part of a special memory in my life!

An Incredible Experience

I stumbled across photos of Crook Point a couple of years ago on Pinterest and feel in love with the venue immediately. Fast-forward to when we got engaged and I suggested that we look at Crook Point for our venue. We didn't need to look at any other place after that because it was perfect for us. This property is run by a family that have owned this land for over a hundred years. They have preserved an incredible coastline and we got to rent it out for a weekend. I don't know of any other place that has that kind of value for money on the coast. Our whole wedding party stayed in their incredible vacation homes and we were able to spend a lot of time together that way. The property is under some renovations that will make things even easier for events, which I think will make the experience even better for future couples. The venue suited our needs really well though, because they basically leave it to us and we can make a lot of decisions ourselves (for example: many venues might restrict who can contract with, but they were very flexible with us).
You honestly won't find views as incredible as Crook Point, with the amenities that it offers and at that price, so go ahead and book them before someone else does. It fills up really quick!

If you were looking for a fairytale wedding location congratulations, you found it. You can look around more, I guess, but you’re just not going to find anywhere this perfect.
I truly cannot speak higher of Crook Point: the staff, the location, the weather—absolutely perfect.
Ideally we’ll just get remarried here every year…?

Magical Venue!

When we began our search for wedding venues, we knew we wanted to find an outdoor space surrounded by natural beauty. When we found Crook Point, it took our breath away with the ocean views and intimate forested location! We knew this was the spot. You truly can't beat the views, and all our guests were amazed by the location!
Kathleen was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. She was always so responsive and supportive, and was extremely helpful in recommending local vendors to work with. Our weekend experience was magical. This place will capture your hearts!

Simply perfect! No stress, all about the moments.

The entire process felt like we were planning with a family member. Every detail was well thought out and personal. The location, views, cleanliness, and comfort were beyond expectation. The partners they connected us with were an extension of that experience! Our daughter said, "It was my dream come true!"
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
