Above and Beyond!

Caitlin and the whole team at Pelican were AMAZING!!! They provided incredible service and a great value! Caitlin was always happy to answer questions and help us nail down logistics.

The day of our wedding was a huge storm and we were worried it might throw things way off course. They were great though and worked with us on last minute changes to make sure everything happened just how we wanted it to!

The staff were all unbelievably incredible as well. I heard comments from just about every guest about how nice the service crew was and how much it felt like they were enjoying the night just as much as the guests!

I can't recommend them enough. They really made our whole wedding unforgettable.

The Perfect Place!

We got married back in September 2025 and had the best experience possible! The venue was absolutely perfect! We worked with Caitlin and I cannot praise her enough! She was on top of everything! She was kind, patient, and answered ALL my questions - trust me, I had a lot! The timeline she created put my mind at ease and truly, she put me at ease from day 1. The day of, everyone was so attentive from decorating/setting up to serving and clean up. The food was amazing and the beer was cold! What more could we ask for?! Without a doubt, I would choose the Pelican again!

Everything I could have hoped for!!

My wife and I had our special day on 09/28/2025 and we cannot stop talking about how amazing it was! Caitlin handled my constant emails for months prior to the wedding, and Lauren took care of us the day of. They were both absolutely incredible. I couldnt wait to give them a glowing review! Lauren handled everything perfectly and made the day completely stress-free which was so needed after planning the wedding for a year. She was also incredibly kind, and I really appreciated her genuine care for us both. If you are a part of the LGBTQ community and are looking for an affirming venue, I especially recommend Pelican Brewing in Pacific City. You will not regret it! ❤️❤️

Outstanding wedding experience at Pelican Brewing

We had the best experience having our wedding at Pelican Brewing. You cannot beat the stunning ocean front location and classic brewery vibe that the venue offers. Our wedding was exactly how we wanted it: intimate, elegant, simple, and fun. The event team at Pelican was extremely professional and helpful during the planning process as well as throughout the day of. High quality food and service. Amazing value for everything you get. 10/10 recommend.

Pelican Dream

We got married in July and it was magical. The staff was a dream to work with. They were amazing during our wedding and we could not recommend the Pelican more. We truly got to enjoy our day without having to worry about anything.

Perfect venue for intimate weddings

Caitlin and her team are outstanding at what they do. I am an event planner by profession and by default very picky about my details and typically have a lot of questions. Caitlin was available with answers whenever I needed them and brought an overall sense of calm to the planning process. We live in Pacific City and so we are very familiar with the area and this venue. We brought many guests out from the East Coast and between the Inn, Harts Camp and Headlands they all got a wonderful OR coast experience. Our wedding was around 65 people, we brought in our own wine and served Pelican beer and cocktails. We opted to serve desserts from their menu instead of a cake and did away with some of the other typical traditions as well and the full team made it all work seamlessly.

Dream Wedding Day

What are you waiting for? Just book it! We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding venue choice. Caitlin was incredible to work with, and made the day completely stress free.

Imagine, spending your wedding week with family and friends. Enjoying all of the moments of the week without the stress of setting up decorations. All made possible by Caitlin and Blue Lark events. Blue lark allowed us to rent her decor and brought it all!

Imagine, walking into your wedding venue the day of, and seeing everything set up for the first time. It’s perfect! Servers are walking around with apps. Dinner is plated and served to your guests. Everyone is raving about the food, “it’s the best meal I’ve ever had at a wedding,” they will say. It’s the end of the night and they do all of the tear down and clean up. You get to go enjoy the pre lit fire outside and a night cap s’more.

Congrats on making the best decision ever! You will love your Pelican Brewing wedding.

June Wedding

This vendor was incredible. Their flexibility and opportunities to have unique touches were amazing. We even had to change our date due to unforseen circumstances and they made the change incredibly easy for everyone. We had about 60 people attend ranging from newborn to 90. The kids had an incredible time which was important to us having a blended family of 4 children. We were able to show up, enjoy, and leave without the pressure of set up, clean up, or coordination of items, linens or food. We couldn't recommend this venue enough! Caitlin is incredible!

Wedding of my dreams!

The Pelican Brewing Pacific City location was my dream come true for a wedding venue, it was the perfect size for my intimate destination wedding, it was right on the beach with beautiful views. The ceremony was held in the sand and the reception was inside their event room. My biggest thing was I DID NOT want a ballroom look or feel, this event space was cozy and moody and everything I could ask for. The event manager, Caitlin Fagan is an absolute angel. I emailed her back and forth for a year straight and she never made me feel out of place or like any question was less important than the next. Whenever there was a bump In the road, she was always there with a solution. (My rehearsal dinner venue fell through and she quickly sprang Into action, allowing us to utilize space at the Lincoln City location). This was a destination wedding for me, so it was that much harder being states away, but everything was a dream come true, I would not have had it any other way.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I love working with The Pelican Pub staff. Mariah, their amazing event coordinator, is hands down the best in the industry. She is organized, professional and joyful... all things that are required for a busy wedding day. Each time I get to work with her and her team I know it's going to be an event that runs smoothly and a positive environment in which I can focus on executing my task of capturing beautiful moments- and let her do the rest. I wish I could convey just how much I appreciate this venue!
