The Perfect Venue

My husband and I got married at Zenith on new year's eve. The venue is stunning both indoors and outdoors any time of year. Dana, the venue manager, is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Kari, who was delightful. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. I've been here for wine tasting with a friend as well and the winemaker is very engaging and the rest of the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend for an event or a fun day in wine country.

Perfect Venue All Around

Zenith was the PERFECT wedding venue! From the beautiful landscape for our outdoor ceremony to the gorgeous ballroom for our indoor reception we were so happy with every part of the venue and experience! Not to mention the wine is amazing! Almost every guest complimented the wine even some non wine drinkers were won over. We recommend the Tempranillo, Barrel Select Pinot Noir and Auxerrois
Dana is incredible for coordinating and handling so much! She made our day easy and stress free! She was on it for everything, there literally were no issues (that I knew of). Whoever says there will be something wrong the day of obviously never worked with Dana! Everything was the way we pictured minus the weather which was the only thing she couldn’t control! She’s so much fun and incredibly talented! If you get the chance to use her for planning or day of services, do it!
We also rented the estate house and bungalow for the night before and night of our wedding and could not have been more pleased with those properties as well! They are beautiful and well maintained and were exactly what we needed to house ourselves as the couple as well as our bridal party! Everything about Zenith was a dream and I would recommend them to anyone!

Beautiful Venue with Great People

I was originally a 2020 Covid bride and dealt with a venue who wouldn't let me reschedule due to the pandemic. The owners at Zenith were so understanding and helpful and I could tell they genuinely cared about my day and wanted it to be a positive experience. The venue is gorgeous and the people are easy to work with! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an Oregon wine country wedding!

Perfection

Zenith was an absolute dream! We hosted our wedding there on Saturday October 2nd, 2021 and everything went off without a hitch. I feel in love with the venue from the moment I stepped foot in it and I couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. The lawn for the ceremony, the beautiful ballroom, the bridal suite to get ready in, the delicious wine and their recommendations for outstanding vendors, it was such an amazing experience! Not to mention the breathtaking scenery of over 100 acres of vineyards - all of our guests were so impressed with the grounds!!

Additionally, accommodations on the grounds (zenith estate and bungalow) were amazing and the owners were incredible to work with! Kate the Hospitality Manager was absolutely amazing, she handled everything so professionally and with kindness, from wine tasting for the event, answering lots of questions, and in her role as our Day of Coordinator she eased my anxiety and ran things so smoothly. She was honestly such a gift and I adored working with her so much!

Thank you all for making it such a dream, couldn’t have imagined it anywhere else!

Amazing Venue

Having Zenith as our wedding venue was one of the highlights to our entire wedding day. The grounds of the vineyard are absolutely breathtaking, and the inside facilities are gorgeous as well. One of the main reasons we wanted to go with Zenith was their ability to accommodate an outside wedding or inside wedding, which in Oregon is always nice to have because rain is almost always a possibility. We were able to have our Plan A (outside wedding), but know that we could go with Plan B (inside) if the weather forecast looked rainy. That helped ease some of the anxiety about Oregon weather and the big event. We loved this venue and are so happy with our decision!

Fabulous venue, great wine and wonderful service!

I would highly recommend planing your wedding or event at Zenith! We looked at at over a dozen venues and narrowed it down to two. Zenith won out with location, service, and trusted vendors. We chose the wines we wanted after a tasting with Jen. We had a small plates tasting menu and ordered six different wines (must order ahead of time- they can give you an idea of how much you'll need). Our left over wine was shipped to us in Texas (we chose to go the cheaper route and wait until the weather was cooler- it arrived in October). Jen was onsite all day for our wedding, and she made sure we and the vendors had everything we needed. We opted to start our day with mimosas while getting ready in the bridal suite. We were able to bring in our own non-alcoholic beverages (juice and sparkling water) and fruit to add to the wine we purchased from Zenith. They have multiple convenient options for payment, including venmo, check, and quickbooks. Because Zenith is about 15 minutes from the Salem convention center. I would highly recommend hiring a transportation service like we did (Quest*) for the safety of your guests. Vendors- I had already chosen the photographer I wanted to use (Powers Studios*) and I looked at pictures of weddings at Zenith held around our date to see the outdoor spaces and what the weather was like. Talking with the team at Zenith, we put a plan in place for the ceremony in case of bad weather. Zenith has a list of caterers that you can use, and we chose Willaby's* from that list after meeting with the team and tasting the food, and booking their coordinator (Stargazer*). After securing Zenith, we reviewed their vendor list to find our baker (Lux Sucre*), DJ (Event Team Entertainment*), and officiant (Rev. Dee*). *see reviews

Wine Country Fairytale

This venue is beyond gorgeous and accommodating. From the outdoor ceremony, to the indoor reception, and the beautiful Bridal Suite, everything was perfect. As close to all-inclusive as you will get, with chair set-up, and all the cutlery and dining necessities on site. Large, indoor bathrooms (a huge plus for our guests) and ample coat closet for guest use. The facility itself is so well designed, we hardly needed any decor of our own to make this look like a dream. The best part though, was the breathtaking views! Hills of vines as far as the eye can see, gorgeous fountain and pond upon the entrance, and beautifully manicured lawn and flowers. The owners were friendly and down to earth, very easy to deal with, and the event coordinator/manager was amazing - she made the whole process so easy for us! This place will forever hold a special place in my memory as the best day of my life (so far).

Professional, responsive, and nice

The moment we drove around the bend and caught our first glimpse of Zenith, we knew we were going to love the venue. Everything about this place is beautiful, and the people working there make you feel comfortable and confident that your big day is going to be wonderful, organized, and operate smoothly. My worries melted away upon our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
