Writing this review a year late! We got married on 5/26/22 at Gorges and we had the best experience ever. The staff and crew really put their all into helping us have the best wedding reception. Our friends and family still talk about how great the food was - and we still talk about thankful we are to gorges for all they did on our special day. Would get married here a hundred times over if I could!

My son and his bride chose a reception venue near Cascade Locks, OR for their wedding last fall (150 guests). My task was to find a place for the rehearsal dinner and Welcome Party. Since I live in WI, I was unable to familiarize myself with the area. I scrolled the Internet, feeling anxious, searching for just the right place.
Then a photo of Gorges Beer Company caught my eye. It showed a sunny social room with a large bar and glass garage doors opening onto a patio with lovely mountain views. I immediately called Gorges to learn more about the facilities. Travis, one of the owners, answered the telephone. From our first conversation, he was knowledgeable, upfront and willing to accommodate our needs. I found It very reassuring that Gorge Beer Company had a lot of experience hosting all types of weddings. Since all our guests were from out-of-town, I decided to add an After-Party following the reception on the second night.

I worked with Kelli, the Catering Manager, to develop the menus for our events. Kelli is creative, detail-oriented, personable and in a word – AMAZING! I loved her enthusiasm and unique ideas to make my food selections special. We decided the rehearsal dinner (family members) would start with an open bar on the patio with passed appetizers. Gorges provided bistro tables, string lights and cocktail hour music (and the beautiful view!). The gathering room was arranged in a U-shape with banquet tables covered with tablecloths and place settings (provided), candles and centerpieces (I brought). Once everyone was seated, we did toasts and played the bridal couple’s wedding “story” on the video monitor supplied by Gorges. The bartenders (2) and waitstaff were efficient and professional. Once dinner was completed, the rest of the guests arrived for drinks and a buffet. It was such a fun night! It gave families and friends the chance to get acquainted the night before the wedding.

The next day was a busy one with the ceremony and reception taking place across the toll bridge in Stevenson, WA. Kelli was so kind to make cupcakes and personally deliver them to the reception hall. Around 10:30pm that night, guests travelled Gorges Beer Company for the After-Party. They enjoyed a light buffet of sandwiches and drinks as they socialized and played foosball on the main level.

For all our events, Kelli was on top of logistics from start to finish, which I really appreciated. It allowed me to focus on our guests. The staff took great care of our guests; the food was delicious, and the drinks were perfect. Travis and the other owners of Gorges Beer Company can take great pride in their team!

This was the perfect location for me and my husbands rehearsal dinner! Great food, drinks, and views of the gorge! Especially loved the string lighting on the balcony as it got dark. All of our guests raved about this venue! Highly recommend!
