My husband has been coming to the ranch since he was born so there was no better place to have our wedding! We were so happy with the new lodge and Kendra and her team were amazing to make sure our day had no issues!

Kendra at Black Butte Ranch
Kendra was not only professional and "spot on" with all aspects of the wedding but an overall wonderful and warm person to work with. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful evening and felt as though Kendra and the entire staff at BBR were all invested in our daughter and son in law's biggest day of their lives! We had so much fun and are dreaming up ways to be able to visit Kendra and everyone now that it's over. Highly recommend to anyone considering their event at BBR. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent service!! We had an unforseen problem with one of our main entrees, and BBR went above and beyond to compensate. Our guests were blown away!

Fall Wedding at Black Butte Ranch
Our experience with our wedding at Black Butte Ranch was outstanding. It's the most beautiful venue with so many options for where the ceremony and photos can take place. We were told by numerous people that the food was the best food they've ever had at a wedding (and it was a buffet!). Our cake turned out just like our inspiration photos and was delicious. Kendra was very communicative, flexible, and accommodating to what we wanted. The price is very fair for what's included and the location; it was so convenient to have almost everything included and made wedding planning simple and enjoyable. Our guests had an amazing weekend at the property. I can't recommend this place enough!

This was the best wedding experience I could ever imagine! Everyone was so professional and flexible to make our day so special!
We loved the intimate ceremony package! Kendra was responsive, informative and flexible to help us have the most magical day. We had some uncooperative weather and were able to wait until the last minute to stay outside or not. We ended up doing the ceremony with a little rain but it made the pictures turn out more amazing! We wish we could get married here every year :) I also added the bridal room which was incredible for a small group of women to get ready, be accessible to vendors and have a view of the horses/ceremony site. After the ceremony we moved inside to the event space to sign our marriage license and the space is beautiful as well. You can’t go wrong!

An amazing experience!
We had so much fun planning our dream wedding with Black Butte Ranch! From our initial venue walkthrough with Shaina to the amazing staff who made everything perfect the day of our wedding. They were so accommodating and everyone who we engaged with were so pleasant, and helpful. Not to mention the ceremony location was absolutely magical with the view of the Three Sisters behind the ceremony site.
The venue price included a day-of event coordinator, complimentary menu tasting, and ceremony rehearsal. Also included was all dinnerware, flatware, glassware, tables and chairs (including ceremony chairs!)
We would like to make a huge shoutout to Kendra for always being so helpful, and so quick to respond with any questions, concerns, or requests we had during our planning process. She truly made the whole experience wonderful.
We would absolutely recommend The Black Butte Ranch to any couple looking for a beautiful mountain scape wedding venue.

The Black Butte team is a dream!
We could not have asked for a better venue, coordinator, catering team to help us celebrate our wedding day. Kendra was always very responsive and helped ensure our day went so smoothly. If there were issued that came up on the day of, I didnt know about them! :) The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the food amazing (so many of our guests were complimenting the food all night), and even a little bit of wildfire smoke could not put a damper on the day. We would recommend this venue and team to anyone looking for a Central Oregon venue to host their wedding or event. Thank you so much!

Black Butte Ranch- A wedding to remember!
The new lodge at Black Butte Ranch is absolutely amazing! They thought through ever detail at this event space to make it magical for weddings! The service, food and drinks were impeccable. Guests could not get enough of the craft cocktails-- including espresso martinis that every guest had in hand! Most of all-- working with the event team was easy and so enjoyable. The crew was kind and flexible-- they are there to truly take care of their clients every wish! Can't wait to come back soon.

Excellent!
I had a great experience here at Black Butte. They offer a lot for their wedding packages which helped a lot instead of having multiple vendors that would need coordination. They were able to coordinate all food, dessert, day of, rehearsal, tables, chairs, linens and a lot of others I am not thinking of. Kendra was my day of coordinator and she did a great job and i highly recommend her. She was very diligent, always got back to me when I had questions and was super helpful and organized the day of. Everything went just as planned and I am very thankful for her in regards to the smoothness.

Awesome Summer Outdoor Wedding Spot
My wife and I had a blast with our entire wedding planning / experience with BBR. Staff was friendly, helpful, thoughtful, and put together a perfect weekend for us and +150 guests. Great food, flexible options, venue was beautiful, we got great reviews from family & friends. Would definitely recommend checking out the Lodge if you're not familiar with the location.

Breathtaking Spot for Any Size Wedding
We decided on Black Butte Ranch due to various reasons including the new Hacker architecture lodge, husband's family trip as a child, and our love for Central Oregon & the Pacific Northwest. Our guest list included only immediate family members (30 including 5 small children) and we were looking for a location with a beautiful setting and plenty of activities for those traveling in from California. The intimate wedding package was perfect for our needs with a small upgrade to include the bridal suite.
We initially communicated with Shaina and confirmed the date and selected the right package. The new lodge was in it's final stages of construction but the renderings were dreamy. My husband flew up to meet with Shaina and tour other venues in the area, but nothing compared the the picturesque BBR location. After everything was confirmed, we were introduced to Kendra. Kendra was communicative and flexible with many of our requests, even offering to repurpose flowers on the day of the event, play music at the ceremony, place name tags in accordance with the seating chart, and place menus. During the event, she had champagne and beer ready for us as we entered into cocktail hour and an hor d'oeuvre plate set aside. She was cheery, warm, and made sure everything looked beautiful and flowed seamlessly. I felt more relaxed than I thought was possible on your wedding day. The overall service was fabulous from the entire staff, especially the bartender working our event.
Highlights from the ceremony/reception:
-Location in front of Apen trees was absolutely gorgeous and provided a bit of shade on a sunny summer day.
-Plated dinners, appetizers, and cake were all delicious and extremely fresh. The chef at the lodge is very talented. We ordered halibut, rib eye, butternut squash risotto, spring salad, seasonal vegetable, and provided a vegetarian option of curried cauliflower steak. The guests loved everything, especially the bread and butter served to start.
-The reception space inside the lodge was absolutely jaw-dropping with floor the ceiling windows capturing a spectacular view. The layout worked perfectly with a dance floor, built-in bar, spot for our DJ and large deck outside. They even had a fire pit with seating.
-The Bridal suite was modern, spacious and comfortable with a steamer, plenty of full length mirrors and plenty of natural light coming through. Only drawback is not having access to the suite until 12pm. However, we made it work.
I would suggest booking lodging right away if you're planning a wedding in the summer. It was very hard to find lodging 5-6 months out. We rented a couple large Airbnb houses for family traveling from out of town and a BBR condo near the lodge for us. It was a heatwave during our wedding week, except our wedding day (thankfully), so it was nice to have AC. Some places don't include AC so we avoided those. The Black Butte Ranch community in Sisters has so much to offer including, bike rentals, horseback riding, hiking, lake activities, pools, spas, etc.
I loved every vendor I worked with! Our photographers, The Image is Found (husband and wife duo) are talented artists and were not only warm and easy to work with but captured the most beautiful candid moments. Check out their website and Instagram! Their blk and white photos are amazing.
Our florist, Petals, Flowers by Katie (recommended by BBR) was phenomenal as well. She was communicative, so fun to work with, and exceeded expectations with her work. I received so many compliments about the flowers.
Cassidy Elise Artistry did a great job and making us all feel comfortable and look beautiful. My makeup in photos turned out great and my hair withstood most of windy day.
Curated Event Rentals provided the chairs for the reception and linens. They were easy to work with and the chairs were in good condition.
CVU Event DJ's based out of Eugene were extremely easy to work with and accommodating to my requests to be less conventional. I shared my Spotify lists with them; however, they do a good job at curating music if that's what you want. They have great energy and a cool vibe.
Only constructive feedback:
-Wish the bar upstairs was opened later. It was fun to head up there for one last drink.

We recently got married at BBR and we couldn’t be more stoked about our experience. Not only is the Ranch absolutely stunning, but the staff was incredible. They were so friendly, accommodating, and professional. Also, the food was DELICIOUS! All of our guests were shocked about how yummy everything was. There are no words to describe how awesome our day was. Thank you BBR!! Can’t wait to come back for our anniversaries ;)

Beautiful Mountain Wedding
Our wedding day was beautiful at Black Butte Ranch! The views were gorgeous at the ranch and it was probably one of the most beautiful settings to get married in Oregon. The sales director and coordinator went out of their way to make everything perfect for our big day. There were issues with the venue lodge getting remodeled on time but the sales director secured an amazing alternative site with mountain and lake views. They took care of all the last minute details with the venders and this was very appreciated. We could not of been happier with our experience at the ranch.

Great for my Microwedding
Black Butte Ranch is the perfect place to get married if you don't want to have to lift a finger. The onsite wedding coordinator organized everything for me and made it so easy for me, someone who hates planning. It's a great value and we had a beautiful ceremony right on the water. Highly reccomend.

Amazing Staff, Unbelievable Venue and Beautiful Venue
My husband and I can't stop talking about how wonderful of an experience we had at Black Butte Ranch. We have been planning our wedding since 2018 and they have absolutely been amazing throughout the process. Alicia, our on-site wedding coordinator, has been so amazingly helpful in so many ways, especially in regards to the COVID-19 situation (we were supposed to have our wedding in June 2020). She answered all of our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Alicia (along with the rest of the staff) made us feel so welcome and we didn't feel uncomfortable in any way as a gay couple. Alicia went above and beyond for us several times and was able to accommodate all of our needs. The food was incredibly amazing and they were even able to accommodate some dishes for our Vegan guests. The wedding was beautiful and amazing. We were able to have a wedding set up the way we wanted it and we are so pleased with how everything worked out so well. My husband and I highly recommend Black Butte Ranch for weddings. Alicia and her team took very good care of us and we have no doubt that they would be able to do the same for you. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the beautiful Black Butte Ranch venue and we look forward to staying there again in the future. Thank you, Alicia and BBR staff!

Flawlessly Smooth Day
We chose this venue primarily for the beautiful mountain backdrop. However, after experiencing everything they offer, I’m floored at how well they coordinated everything. The officiant was provided to us and she worked with us to customize our ceremony and calm our nerves beforehand. The provided day-of coordinator was there to keep us on schedule, get us drinks after the ceremony (we were SO ready for some champagne!), direct us on how to walk down the aisle, and was our DJ. This was such a big help to make the day go smoothly. It allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding, rather than dealing with timelines or coordinating things. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue.

Perfect venue - best views and top notch service!
Excellent service, quality, incredible views, and truly a tailored experience. Price is very affordable for an intimate ceremony and reception dinner, which included so many of the little details; way less stressful!! Food and cake provided by venue was so delicious, we got a ton of compliments. The views speak for itself. Our day coordinator Alicia was outstanding; she ensured a smooth event and touched on all the details. Truly a gem!

Amazing place and people!
We had our wedding at BBR right on the tail end of COVID shut downs. There was a lot of uncertainty leading up to the date and Alicia and her team helped us SO MUCH. They were flexible, calm, and helped us create our vision even though it seemed like everything was working against us. BBR has such an amazing team of people and we couldn't have asked for more. Totally recommend this group (and beautiful place!!) to anyone planning a wedding.
