Skamania helped us every step of the way

We had a really lovely wedding day at Skamania Lodge. Everything was taken care of by Skamania as it was meant to. We were really impressed with Skamania when we woke up on our wedding day and it was raining outside: Skamania took care of getting everything moved to a covered or indoor setting for us and kept the stress off of my fiance and I. My guests were amazed with the beauty of Skamania Lodge and had great things to say about the staff and service at Skamania.

Skamania Lodge is not only a gorgeous hotel with the most amazing backdrop of the Columbia River Gorge – the staff and everyone we worked with are awesome! We are from Chicago but wanted to get married in the Pacific Northwest. We visited over 10 locations throughout the Portland and Seattle areas, and the moment we walked into Skamania Lodge – we knew it was the place! There are so many different amenities that cater to anyone from children to adults. They have a number of different options for your ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, etc. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and it’s so nice that there are different restaurant options too! The weekend of the wedding, many of our guests played golf, hiked, went on wine tours, relaxed at the spa, and just hung out either outside on all of the lawn chairs, or inside in the beautiful foyer. Needless to say, they were all happy and constantly tell us how much they loved it there! So much, that one of our friends actually went back and bought land in Skamania County!!
We worked with Talia and Tiffany, and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! The days leading up to the wedding, Tiffany consistently checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and helped us with all of our last minute needs. The wedding turned out beautiful and went off without a hitch! We could not be happier and highly recommend Skamania Lodge!

Having our wedding at Skamania Lodge was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the beginning to the end of the wedding process, the Skamania team (more specifically, Tiffany) went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch and helped ensure that everyone had an amazing time. The Lodge is known for its customer service and everyone there pitched in to help us have a perfect wedding weekend!

My husband and I commented so many times on the honeymoon how happy we were that we chose Skamania Lodge. We got married at the amphitheater and it was the most incredible backdrop for a wedding, perfectly highlighting the gorge. Cocktail hour on the lawn was sunny and elegant. On top of that, the staff spent hours helping us create an incredibly detailed and beautiful reception inside as well. Food and beverages also surpassed our expectations. The bartenders were great sports – learning how to make our signature cocktails – and many of our guests commented on the delicious food at dinner. The Skamania baker, Kelly, also created a beautiful and yummy cake for us based on a picture I brought from pinterest. On top of all of this, our guests had a lovely time staying at the Lodge and enjoying the activities of the Lodge (zip lining pool and fire pits) and the Gorge.

Everyone at the Lodge was truly wonderful – helping us coordinate, decorate and create the most amazing wedding day. Tiffany was calm, patient, dedicated, capable and fun – always trying to help make our vision come to life. She went above and beyond during the entire planning process, at rehearsal and for the actual wedding. Everything from the ceremony to the reception looked fantastic. The ballroom literally took my breath away...it was magical. And, we had so many people comment on how perfectly everything was executed. I would wholeheartedly recommend hosting your wedding at Skamania Lodge – it’s worth the investment and you won’t regret it!

I can't say enough about the staff and service at Skamania Lodge. They were incredible to work with and their attention to detail was fantastic. This was a destination wedding for us, so it meant a lot that they thought of the small things that we otherwise probably wouldn't have known about or planned for. Jena was fantastic to work with and I wouldn't have changed a thing about our day or my interactions with Jena and the other staff. We got rave reviews from our guests on the food, venue, and wonderful service they gave to the kids at the wedding. The day and whole weekend were absolutely magical, and I would recommend Skamania Lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful, relaxing place for a wedding. It's not cheap, but it's well worth the cost and you do get what you pay for--great service, delicious food, and a day you will never forget!

Skamania Lodge was the most beautiful setting for our wedding reception and our guests were very happy with the services and accommodations during their stay. The staff was exceptional and our wedding catering manager Tiffany was amazing; we can't say enough good things about her. Jena was incredibly friendly and helpful at helping us with our contract and all of the staff was professional and pleasant. Additionally Shay provided excellent AV/MC services. This was the PERFECT destination wedding location and we could not be more satisfied!

Skamania Lodge was the perfect place for our wedding for so many reasons! We worked with Jena and couldn't be happier with the level of service we received. The food was beyond fantastic, the views were to die for, and the planning/coordination Jena and the rest of the staff provided was absolutely priceless. I was in constant contact with Jena throughout the planning process, and she made sure I had everything I needed to ensure our wedding day was a success. On our wedding day, the staff was so incredibly accommodating and really allowed me and my groom to sit back and enjoy our big day. Rest assured, if you book your wedding with Skamania, you won't regret it. They take incredible care of their couples and leave no stone unturned. Thank you, Skamania! Highly HIGHLY recommend!

Skamania Lodge was the perfect location for my wedding and reception. After meeting with the wedding coordinator and explaining our vision, she was able to pull it together seamlessly. My guests had an amazing time. Some of them still say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I would recommend Rebecca and Skamania Lodge to anyone. The staff are very professional and helpful. And they made it a weekend I will always remember!

Absolutely fantastic. Rebecca, our coordinator, was wonderful and extremely attentive. Skamania is a large venue and we had a very tiny wedding. Never would have known it for the amount of attention we got from the venue. The treatment we got was royalty like. It was a magical day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
