Y R Sent on 06/28/2022The most perfect wedding
We just had our dream wedding at the Farm and everything was perfect. All of our guests commented on how smoothly everything went, how incredible the view of Mt. Hood was, and how great the staff was. The venue definitely comes with a lot of rules and structure, but that is what makes the event so great, they've done this before and they know what works, trust them. We were still able to put our personal touches on it and incorporate our different cultures. The coordinators are both amazing, Cassandra helps make sure you've got everything ready before the wedding and Kristen is there for you all day during the wedding. The food was incredible, Ginger was great to work with and put some special touches on the menu that we asked for. Our guests had an amazing experience and got to see the best Oregon has to offer. The farm was beautiful with all the natural flowers and the view of Mt. Hood is the best in all of Oregon. We loved the day so much and could not have dreamt of a better way to celebrate each other. -

Our wedding at MHOF was a dream come true! Maybe you hear that all the time, but I really mean it! After a year of worrying and planning, I can not think of a single way it could have gone better. Even when we thought it might rain, they seemed to have the situation under control. Everyone raved about how special and delicious the food was! Plate after plate, it just kept getting better. The farm itself was perfection, from the surrounding gardens to the table settings, to the gorgeous views of Mt Hood (who showed up in all her glory!). Everyone told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! Kristen and your staff, and your excution of the whole wedding vision were perfect. I keep using the adjective perfect, because that’s how it felt! Everything went so smoothly! It is obvious they care about each of their guests and take pride in their work. They made sure it was an extra special day! -

Mount Hood Organic Farms was a dream come true for my wedding day. The setting is so stunning from the mountain view to the intricate design of the Apple House, and the team made sure everything was in place and ran smoothly. The food from Cultivate Catering is incredible, every one of my guests mentioned how delicious it was, plus they were great about working with everyone's dietary restrictions. -

This was the most special place to have our wedding at and bring all of our guests to! I’m reading through all of the reviews and pretty shocked at any non-5 star reviews, but also thankful for them because reviews like that are maybe why there will still a few dates available a year before our wedding and made it possible to have our wedding there! I think anything negative that’s been left is more a reflection of those people and not necessarily the venue.
Brady and John are the sweetest people - I think I came 3 times ahead of the wedding (first tour, to show my mom, to show my mother in law) and Brady was so sweet each time accommodating my requests to come again. This was the first organic farm in Oregon and she and her husband built the place with their own hands. It is clear how much love they’ve poured into this place and the architecture of the apple house (where the reception is) is amazing. And it has the best view of Hood in the area!
Cassandra and Kristen are the best tag team duo of coordinators - super responsive to any (the many) questions I had and always made you feel like you were in the hands of professionals.
And the food is insane - seriously so many guest commented on how good the salmon was and the meal is so seasonal and delicious. Ginger is also the sweetest person and thoughtful plans each meal.
Our wedding was a magical day and I am so grateful we had it at Mount Hood Organic Farms -

Lisa Sent on 08/05/2016Mt. Hood Organic Farms is the DREAMIEST place to get married. It was important to us to find a venue that supported marriage equality. We looked high and low for a venue that felt like it actually had the love and positive energy we were looking for. Many of these wedding venues are manufactured and feel very fake, not to mention, beauty is really important to me (one time we visited a venue and from the wedding view there was a UHAUL sign in complete view! This lead me to verify that view was important and we needed to see beautiful things while we were getting married). Mt. Hood Organic Farms is a private, family run farm and as soon as we stepped foot onto the property, we knew were in the right place.
Brady, the farm owner, explained that the farm works as a team with other woman owned businesses: Cultivate Catering & Cassandra Cass Coordinating, and that when you work with the farm, you work with these fine folk, too. At first, we we felt limited by the choices that seemed to be already made, but we eased quickly into trusting the team fully that there must be a reason that they have some structures in place: It's the love and the details! And they work really well together and trust each other. And when vendors trust each other, you can focus on the details and creating a vibration that is like no other.
There was so much love and positive energy that went into our wedding. There was a lot of great care and detail work that I know would have been missed planning a wedding anywhere else. The food with Cultivate was incredible; farm to table, local whenever possible... Everyone would not stop talking about the view! Cassandra was amazing, and helped get everything in alignment. We really felt heard.
If you want the most beautiful outdoor wedding with the best team behind you working like angels in the background, and want to gift yourselves an experience not just for you but for your guests, then you absolutely have to have your wedding at MHOF!

Megan Sent on 09/30/2015Not only is this farm STUNNING but they are seriously excellent at running weddings. Brady, Cassandra, and Ginger are so organized, kind, helpful, and professional. They really did make planning a wedding seemingly easy. My wedding was honestly more perfect that I imagined it could be. The farm is pristine, the flow of the events throughout the day was ideal, the food was delicious, and they ran the entire day flawlessly. I do not have enough good praises for Mt. Hood Organic Farms! Initially Mt. Hood Organic Farms was slightly above our price mark but we decided to go for it...and I am SO HAPPY we did! It was well worth every penny! I had no idea that planning a wedding could be so straight forward. And much of that is due to the helpfulness of the team at Mt. Hood Organic Farms. All of our guests are still raving about the views, the food, the whole day! We are so happy with our entire experience. THANK YOU! -

Amy Sent on 06/06/2025A magical venue space and professional team
I had such a wonderful experience as a partial planner working with Mount Hood Organic farms. Their venue is incredible. It really is one of the most amazing spaces that I have had the honor of working at. Their team is on point. Between the pre-planning, the communication, and all of the details, they really execute a phenomenal event. The venue is quite magical! -

We loved having our September wedding at MHOF
We cannot thank MHOF enough for the magic that you all helped us to create. They made it easy to navigate wedding planning from out of state and we truly could not be more thankful for all of your advice, encouragement, and investment in our day! We were giddy all day, feeling just such happiness and confidence in the way the day played out. It was a huge gift to us to hear that both of our parents felt like they could just enjoy the day and be with friends and family, not at all worried about little things.
Our guests have commented on how it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve been to, how the venue felt surreal, and how the food was some of the best they’ve had. One of our friends even told us that she was trying to recreate some of the dishes!
Thank you for letting us create these incredible memories at your venue and for being such a great team! -

Janet Sent on 08/28/2023Stunning Venue with Amazing Team
MHOF was one of the three venues we looked at, and we put the deposit down within just two weeks! The venue is absolutely breathtaking and has everything we ever dreamed of. It's more than just a wedding venue because it's a working farm that has been lovingly touched by Brady and John – that was one of the main reasons we chose this place.
The way our wedding flowed – from the reception in the garden, cocktail hour by the pond, to group pictures at the stunning Mt Hood, followed by dinner in the courtyard and dancing in the apple house – was absolutely perfect. It's already been a year since our wedding, but every time we run into our friends and family, they still can't stop talking about that magical day!
We have a lot of respect for Brady for maintaining her farm so well and for opening it up for us to use. She is straightforward but fair, so as long as you treat her place with respect, you'll enjoy your day without a hitch. Cassandra and Kristen are also fabulous. I was a bit worried because I worked with Cassandra up until the rehearsal day, but it got turned over to Kristen on the big day. However, there was absolutely nothing to worry about – Kristen handled everything like clockwork.
Last but not least, Ginger and her catering team were simply amazing. We loved that we could customize our cocktail drinks, and the farm-to-table approach was exactly what we wanted. The team was so sweet and had such great energy, and all our guests really appreciated it.
If you're still looking for a venue in Hood River, I recommend going for MHOF – you won't be disappointed! -

Hanna Sent on 08/06/2016Okay, so this venue is seriously GORGEOUS. The venue was a dream and because of how gorgeous it was, I don't regret having my wedding there. However, there are some things I wish I had known:
1. This venue is Expensive when you add up the venue, the catering, the bartenders you end up paying separately, and the coordinator (that you are required to use). Despite it's cost, they almost awkwardly charge you for Every Little Thing, like I'm handing you a $9000 check (that is Just the venue, not the caterer, coordinator or extras) and I had to worry about all these $5-25 checks/cash for all these little things the day before my wedding (for lawn games, twine/clothespins rentals etc).
2. They do not like customization. We wanted a unique wedding and ended up doing all the centerpieces etc. ourselves and even though my amazing mom and aunt set pretty much Everything up, the coordinator acted like it was a huge inconvenience.
3. They were all easy to reach via email. The way they structure this experience is very impersonal though. You make an appointment to visit the farm to see if you like it, you then don't see it again until the May "Site visit" where you and EVERYONE having a wedding there for the summer walk through and go over everything. This is the ONLY time you get to try any food. The food was incredible, but it felt incredibly impersonal.
5. Lastly, the owner. The owner is very severe and not at all warm. Literally minutes after I was married, I went into the cottage to use the restroom and she came barging in complaining that everyone left their stuff in there (everyone being my 3 bridesmaids and my mom) and how they all needed to move it. I was like…I got married TEN minutes ago, I want to be walking on cloud 9, not worried about all this little stuff! It was pretty upsetting.
Overall, the venue is unlike anything I have ever seen. But I wish I had known all of this going into it….

Emily Sent on 07/02/2020Covid Chaos
My fiancé and I had been thrilled to have our wedding here in the summer of 2020. MHOF is a venue with views that are unmatched and lovely grounds. Unfortunately, when COVID began altering the course of our wedding plans, it became clear that the owner was not willing to work with us during this unprecedented time. The owner Brady refused to give back any portion of the deposits and her only offers were to move it to a later date in 2020 and have it as a "socially distant" event. Meanwhile Clackamas County per Phase 1 (the phase the county was in during our wedding date) said "local social gatherings of 25 people as long as they can maintain social distancing". There is no taking away from the splendor and beauty of the location. I do warn brides and grooms, however, that prior to booking you consider that if the owner of the venue showed little to no flexibility during COVID, that I doubt she will show any flexibility if there are any problems that suddenly arise during your wedding planning process. With Brady not giving any portion of the deposit back to any of the brides or grooms, many couples were put in a difficult situation trying to re-plan their wedding with a huge chunk of the budget now being gone. It is a shame that such an extraordinary venue comes with such an inflexible owner.
