Highly recommend Sunriver Resort!

We can't say enough good things about Sunriver Resort as a wedding venue! The staff was incredibly warm, professional, and supportive from start to finish, which we were really appreciative of. They took care of things I hadn't even considered and were responsive whenever I reached out with questions. The day of the wedding was a breeze because everything was taken care of and the Sunriver team was calm, prepared, and professional. Our guests gushed about the food provided throughout the wedding weekend and were struck by the beautiful and serene environment of the resort. We were so happy with our wedding experience at Sunriver Resort and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking!

Beautiful venue with the best people to work with!

Sunriver is a beautiful and accommodating venue to book your big day! Truly, from the coordinating, setup, chef & staff, bar service and support team, everyone was above and beyond amazing. Our main point of contacts were Kelly & Shelby and they did everything to align our special day to a dream setting in working with our vendors. They went above and beyond to personalize and make it real for us. The food was phenomenal, everything was delicious and the portions were fantastic, our guests are still talking about it. The bar & wait staff was so AMAZING and streamlined so all our guest were covered at all times. Our vendors were treated amazing. In general, only have great things to say, this venue is naturally beautiful and provides so many options for your big day and the staff truly made it so easy to align, highly recommend this venue!

Beautiful venue, excellent service

Beautiful place, very competent & experienced staff, smooth coordination with the rest of the vendor team. Takes a lot of the stress off of the day knowing that everyone has it together. Moved the ceremony for rain, & it turned out better than had the weather been clear. Looking forward to having anniversaries here in years to come. Thanks for all of the work involved with providing a great experience for ourselves & our guests!

Flawless Hosting Experience

It was an absolute pleasure to receive a venue tour from Kelly S. She answered every question we threw her way with ease, was timely in her coordination and communication, and was patient and accommodating with our accidental lateness. While we didn't end up moving forward with the location, favoring something closer to home in California, I can only imagine how pleasant it would be to work with her and the staff at Sunriver, as her hosting was flawless in execution.

Forever grateful to Sunriver!

I couldn’t be more glad that we had our wedding at Sunriver Resort. I was grateful to be working with them from the start, but when the pandemic started, I became even more so. They took such great care of us and were so understanding of what we were going through. We had several conversations with Lindsay and Lynne while we were trying to decide how to handle it, and they were nothing but supportive. When we decided to postpone, they made the transition painless, and from there working with Lynne was awesome. She was so helpful answering all of our questions and coming up with creative solutions and back up plans. She helped us deal with the uncertainty and constant change that came with planning a wedding during a pandemic. I could tell she genuinely cared about our wedding and was dedicated to making sure it was wonderful. When the day came, the venue was gorgeous, the food was amazing (everyone raved about it), and everything was done safely and smoothly. They are so on top of safety protocols that we didn’t have to worry about anything, but at the same time none of the safety measures took away from the experience of our wedding. The staff were all friendly and professional and everything went wonderfully. I’m so grateful for everyone at Sunriver who worked on our wedding and for how well the team is handling pandemic weddings in general. I can’t recommend them enough!

So Grateful

My daughter and her fiance chose Sunriver pre-pandemic because of the beautiful Great Hall and the excellent reviews of the food. We contracted for a November 2020 wedding. Several weeks later COVID surfaced as a commonly understood threat and, well, the rest is history! A history we are still living! Over the following year, Lynne Cahill and the staff at Sunriver worked with us, guided us, supported us, contemplated with us, commiserated with us, and shared our journey through the unknown to the ultimate rescheduled wedding on March 13, 2021. Along the way, there were so many changes, so many uncertainties, so many decisions to be made and made again as the COVID situation shifted. Although we couldn't have known what was to come, I am profoundly grateful that we chose Sunriver as our venue. My daughter and I always felt that Lynne and the staff were working with us as a team and had our backs. They were adaptable, responsive, creative, level-headed, and up-to-date on current COVID regulations and trends. As our family struggled through the year, our constant mantra was "Thank goodness we're working with Sunriver!" The well-considered and implemented safety protocols meant that our limited number of guests felt secure at the venue and on site -- while the confident, and positive attitude of the staff created a relaxed atmosphere. Structural elements and protocols required for safety are stylishly implemented, minimizing any sense of compromise or oppression. The result was that my daughter managed to have the "wedding of her dreams", despite all of the alterations and adjustments! The guests raved about the food, complimented the smooth flow and seamless organization of the evening, and reported having a fantastic time! And for the bride and groom, the staff has multiple special touches in place to make them feel taken care of and special. The reviews on the internet make clear that Sunriver is an excellent wedding venue, which is why we chose them. But to be able to maintain that excellence during a year such as this last one is an impressive accomplishment. We will be forever grateful for our choice and to Lynne and the staff for helping to create such a fantastic experience and memory for my daughter, her groom, and our family and friends.

Axelsen/Gassner Dream Wedding

We had the most wonderful wedding thanks to Alli & Wendy who made sure every detail was beyond expectations. The resort had amazing ambience, the food was like being at a 5 star dinnerhouse, and the servers made sure every detail and request was perfect. Thank you to the entire staff for making our wedding perfect. Linda & Dick Gassner

Dream Wedding at Sunriver Resort

Sunriver Resort held special significance to my daughter and her fiancé because they had individually spent family vacations there growing up. We are from out of state but knew the Great Hall, with its rustic beauty, was the perfect setting the moment we walked in. We started secretly plotting with Sheila even before the engagement happened! In all it was a 2.5 year journey to the wedding date and we got to know the venue and staff well along the way. From day one they immediately responded to all our crazy questions and special requests. They helped us plan not only the wedding day but the entire week! They made time for us every time we came into town to vacation and plan for the big day. When COVID hit and our plans needed to change, Sunriver staff helped us navigate all the challenges. While we were all in un-chartered waters and businesses were hurting, Sunriver only became more generous and remained 100% client focused. We were particularly struck by their compassion, constant up-front communication, flexibility, creativity, concern for our guests, and outstanding working relationship with our vendors. They were personally invested in creating the experience my daughter dreamed of, even if it needed to look a little different than where we started. With all the curve balls thrown our way, the wedding week was magic, and it would not have happened without the personal commitment of Lynne, Lindsay, McCauly, Wendy, Liz, every reservation agent and the entire Sunriver staff. We are eternally grateful! As we drove away from the resort the day after the wedding, I opened my coffee cup from Starbucks to find a heart in the foam, and I smiled at the gesture! Everyone gave us the VIP treatment til the day we left, and we will miss our connection to them. The Sunriver team feels like part of our family, and we will look forward to celebrating more life events at Sunriver.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
