Everything I Dreamed Of

Ally and her team were absolutely amazing from the day I started working with her. Communication was timely and she was so accommodating to all of my questions and requests. Everything from the tasting, to choosing the menu, to what ballroom we wanted to use, was absolutely seamless. Our wedding is exactly how I had imagined it the full year leading up to the big day. Seriously, every detail is exactly how I had pictured it in my mind and I could not have been happier. This venue is situated on the beautiful Willamette River and has been fully remodeled. Our rehearsal dinner was held in a private space inside of the restaurant and all of the food and drinks were exceptional. We had a room block for all of our guests, and that worked perfectly for them to enjoy the full evening and walk to their rooms at the end of the night.
Was it a more expensive wedding? yes!
Whas it worth absolutely every penny? 1000%
I did some add-ons and an open bar, so that did increase the price - especially for 260 guests. So, keep that in mind.

Our wedding venue eventually turned out to be everything we wanted. The staff who worked our wedding were wonderful. However, working with them was not the best experience. The event coordinator at the Valley River Inn was behind the ball at every turn. Their quote turned out to NOT include many items that were, in the beginning, discussed and supposedly agreed upon. The food (heavy appetizers) left a lot to be desired, and was not adequate for the number of guests they knew we were expecting. The worst part was that we were still finding and correcting errors in the contract the week before our wedding,

The venue was beautiful and perfect for our wedding. However, if you want to hold your wedding there, make sure you get the details hammered out well in advance and IN WRITING. Recommend with caution.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
