Our fabulous location in Pacific City provides the memorable opportunity for you to say your vows on the beach, then take ten steps to our beautiful oceanfront banquet room.

Relax and enjoy your day as every detail will be attended to by our professional and courteous staff.

After your celebration, invite your wedding party, friends and family to extend their stay in beautiful Pacific City by enjoying one of our lodging partners – Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, Inn at Cape Kiwanda, Hart's Camp, or Cape Kiwanda RV, most of which are just steps away from your event. Our properties offer accommodations ranging from beautifully appointed ocean-view hotel rooms to luxuriously furnished cottages and more.

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.

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!
