Magical September Wedding

We had our wedding on 9/7/2019 and were completely blown away by Orchard Valley Acres. Let me start by saying that when we booked the venue and started to see poor reviews, I was nervous. HOWEVER, after seeing how Felicia and her team perfectly executed our day, I can’t even imagine where those negative reviews came from.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the venue and it was catered by Felicia/OVA. The tables were decorated beautifully and the food was incredible. We had vegan and gluten free members in our wedding party and Felicia went above and beyond to accommodate them. Their team was efficient, friendly, and made sure our night was everything we hoped. Everyone raved about the food long after we left and nobody could wait to eat the wedding food!

On to the wedding date...it was better than anything we could have imagined!!!!! Orchard Valley Acres nailed it down to the very last detail! The venue looked incredible. Flowers were everywhere, the grass was green, the ceremony set up was flawless. Then THE FOOD. 2 days later and I still have guests telling me it was the best food they’ve ever had-wedding or not. Felicia went above our expectations for the appetizer spread during cocktail hour. A huge variety of different bites to eat and our guests loved it. For dinner, We had the organic hog, bourbon glazed turkey, spinach & mushroom pasta, whipped Yukon golds, and root beer baked beans. Everyone said it was the best mashed potatoes they’ve ever had.

Felicia gave a wonderful introduction speech during dinner and congratulated us on our big day. Her daughter Ariel checked in with me often to see how things were going. Communication during the wedding was well done. Our night ended with huge hugs from Felicia and her husband!

I know everyone has their own opinions and expectations of a wedding venue... I encourage you to see Orchard Valley Acres for yourself! The price, the location, the passion of the owners/staff, and the tasty food made it an easy decision for us and we are so happy with our choice!

OVA rocks!

Orchard Valley Acres was the DREAM place to have our wedding. Felicia/Ariel and their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was amazing for our day. They hosted a great food tasting for our parents since we live out of state and were great communicators over email since we were planning remotely from Oregon. The set up the weekend of was a breeze and the venue was stunning, you can tell how much they value and care for their farm. Not to mention the food and pies were fantastic. Everyone raved about them. Their space is very unique and your guests will remember how awesome the setting is. Couldn't recommend them more! And they really care about the environment and impact, so if you are an eco-conscious couple they will support you fully with requests you may have (no plastic, low waste, no straws etc). thanks again OVA!

Orchard Valley Acres exceeded all of my dreams and hopes for what my wedding day would be. I had numerous guests not only stand in awe of how rustic this barn actually is, but how beyond great the food was. One of the largest reasons why my husband I chose OVA is because of Felicia's cooking. All of her cooking is made from fresh produce, and is prepared beyond what you typically expect for an average wedding you may attend. Give her any idea and she would be more than willing to do it for you. I had a popcorn barn, and wood fired pizzas (served right off the grill!).

All of the workers on this day were nothing but polite during rehearsal and the day of. During the process also were speedy to reply to everyone one of my questions. Very organized and very well put together.

If I would choose to have another event, my husband and I already decided it will be at OVA. Felicia and her crew are very hard working, and will do WHATEVER you wish to see for your very special day/event. I have attended other events and they never fail to let you down. Thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts. You made our day the best one of our life.
