THE Venue for Your Country Western Wedding ❤️

Highly Recommend! An undeniably beautiful venue, Crooked River Farm Weddings, LLC is the perfect setting for a quaint country western wedding. For the DIY Couple the various packages make tailoring your day easier than tailoring your dress & tux. The creativity allowed in an already iconic barn and surrounding glades transports your wedding day to the next level. My husband & I had a fantastic time on our wedding day, and accepting that we can’t control the weather, we had an end of summer soirée we will always remember. Our venue hosts and owners, Jerry & Susan Hanson, were perfectly welcoming and the right amount of helpful leading up to & on the day of our wedding. We had ample access to the venue before the big day to plan as much as needed. The photography packages offered by Susan were the perfect fit to our budget & gave us absolutely beautiful images to remember our day by. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the Hansons sharing their home oasis with us for our wedding day.

Very homey and rustic

Hello! We had our wedding on December 9th at Crooked River Farm and it was perfect! Susan and Jerry are beyond sweet and accommodating. They are very laid back and willing to work with you on whatever you need! They were able to accommodate our increase in guest with just a weeks notice. As well as us booking their venue a little over a month before our wedding date! Jerry is a sweetheart and was extremely helpful in decorating and the tear down. He even cut a Christmas tree from their farm for our Christmas themed wedding! Susan is a perfectionist, taking beautiful photos of our special day and making sure to capture every wonderful moment . She also helped me with putting on my veil! They are wonderful people and the venue is beautiful. So many photo opportunities between the bridge, the stairway to the venue, the fireplace and their custom sweethearts table! We did the elopement package and it was the perfect amount of time and space for our intimate wedding. One hundred percent recommend for a country/ rustic/ relaxed feel! We loved spending time during the planning and wedding day with these two!

Amazing experience

Crooked River Farms is the best. The venue and scenery is absolutely beautiful. The owners are a wonderful couple. Susan and Jerry made us feel comfortable the moment we met them and were always available to answer any questions that we had. We did the all inclusive package which covered so many options for us and was a great deal for the price. The weekend of the wedding they were so helpful and present for any questions we had. I highly recommend this venue
