Perfect venue
Wedding planning during a pandemic is a rollercoaster. I fully expected that we'd have to get married in our living room after canceling our small ceremony at one of the ranches. But Silver Falls pulled through big time. We didn't get to use their outside elopement area because of weather but everything turned out perfectly. Brooke was so so so helpful and patient. I was driving myself crazy but she kept it together for me. -

Incredible 10/10 experience with this venue
The entire Smith Creek Village team is amazing. Brittany especially, who was the venue coordinator and took over for Shalimar, was extremely responsive, flexible, helpful, and laid back! So many of our guests were in awe of the gorgeous setting, the super friendly staff, awesome cabins, and delicious restaurant food. We had a brief misunderstanding with the restaurant about how many guests could order food at one time, but they resolved it quickly and kindly for us via a couple phone calls. They even provided setup, takedown, green cloth napkins (which Brittany drove half an hour the morning of our wedding just to get for us) and all the electronic maintenance we needed. Cannot recommend enough, it was the most perfect weekend ever. We have stayed at Smith Creek many times, and are so glad we had our wedding there. -

Wonderful place to get married!
We rented out one of the Ranches for our wedding and it was so amazing! If you're looking for a forest setting,rustic,nature surrounded place to get married for a really reasonable price,definitely come here:) they have multiple site options for weddings as well when you email about wedding sites they offer. We rented it for 2 days total $1700.-

Staff at Silver Falls were so accommodating and kind! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful venue or group to take care of my family and friends!
After searching for a unique spring venue, we were so pleased to find the Silver Falls lodge and Conference Center. Adrienne and her crew were wonderful and welcoming, making such a beautiful location all the more enjoyable! -

Exactly what I dreamed my wedding would be and everything more!
Lauren took us on our tour and was so incredibly informative, genuine and kind. She made our experience so effortless in her detailed breakdown and was so helpful every step of the way. -

We chose Silver Falls because we wanted an outdoor wedding experience and we could not have been happier. The staff was amazing and extremely helpful. The food was great and drinks were flowing! All of our guests had an fantastic experience and we received tons of compliments on the venue. I would recommend the park for anyone wanting an outdoor wedding! -

If you want a wedding in the midst of old-growth trees, with gorgeous waterfalls within walking distance, and miles of trails for your guests to explore, this place is for you. For our wedding, we rented out the entire conference center, including all the Lodges and Cabins on-site, which enabled us to have about 70 people sleep on-site all weekend, with delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners. I can barely begin to describe how amazing this location was. For photos, all we had to do was step outside and we were in natural beauty. We got married in April, and the cabins and dining halls were perfectly warm (despite the chilly, inclement weather) in both temperature and ambiance. We had many guests who had never been to Oregon and they were totally blown away by the beauty. Many of them now plan on coming back! We even had a guest get engaged after our wedding at one of the lovely waterfalls, which was truly touching. There was just so much love from everyone -- not only the guests, but also Chef Kirk (amazing food, amazing service, amazing kindness), Adrienne, Lauren, Grant, Carolina, and all the rest of the staff... our wedding weekend felt like one giant family party. Also, the staff are huge over-achievers, so they were VERY responsive to my calls and emails the entire time. Our guests of all ages and interests enjoyed themselves: the lodges were perfect for some of our younger guests who wanted to party together; for our nature-oriented guests, I arranged guided group hikes with Friends of Silver Falls (thank you, Ranger Kim!); and we had all types of locally-sourced, delicious food, even vegan options, to meet our guests varied food preferences. How I wish I could experience it all again! Thank you, Silver Falls Lodge and Conference Center, for the party of a lifetime! -

The site is spectacular. The temperate rainforest makes for a spectacular wedding venue location. The staff here are truly exceptional. They are wonderful at communicating, warm, friendly, and highly professional. We had the best time at our wedding due largely to the work their team put in. Our guests raved about the food and we were able to spend quality time with our guests since we stayed over the full weekend. Had a great music jam with our friends for the after party! Highly recommended! -

Silver Falls is the perfect place for a wedding! The pricing is great, the staff is so helpful and amazing and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. They also have cabins on-site at competitive rates so you don't have to try to find a hotel in the area. They have meadows you can reserve for your outdoor ceremony but you can literally get married anywhere in the park as long as you're not blocking a trail. Our wedding was amazing! -

The park officials were very helpful and flexible. The rates were extremely affordable and the area is gorgeous! I would absolutely recommend this as an "outside of the box" wedding venue to anyone who wants something a little more on the rustic side :) -

The team at Silver Falls is amazingly creative and accommodating, not to mention organized and helpful. They scheduled calls at every step of the way, keeping track of all the details and sending updated schedules. The venue itself had everything we wanted. Natural beauty, amazing catering, overnight accommodations, and great fun for all our guests. All our guests were in love with this venue, and so were we! -

The perfect family reunion wedding
Smith Creek Village was a fantastic venue. It was very affordable so we rented a big ranch building for Friday and Saturday night during peak season. We had enough time to host a big friday welcome dinner, the wedding and sunday brunch. The ranch buildings include enough bunk beds for all of the guests (which we did not use), making it an incredibly inexpensive wedding location for your guests. It was nice to have enough time to see everyone and enjoy our guests over the entire weekend. The cabins were fantastic and our family was very happy, even those who are not outdoorsy. The big leaf restaurant impressed us (it is great during peak season so don’t judge if you tour during the winter). We would have hosted the rehearsal dinner at the big leaf in retrospect given how nice it was. Everyone ate at the restaurant so our guests stayed close and they spent a lot of time together as a big group. It felt like a big family reunion. We took amazing photos at Silver Falls the day of the wedding. I would recommend this venue for DIY couples who are prepared to add lights and a sound system. (I would highly recommend asking them about signs ahead of time and anticipate that no one will know where they are going. Just give a little extra time for the guests to get redirected by the very helpful Smith Creek Village welcome kiosk) -

Beautiful venue with lots of on site lodging
With all of the chaos of a COVID postponement we are still so glad that we ended up having our multi-day hybrid Hindu/western wedding with Smith Creek Village! The Smith Creek team also went through a lot of changes in the venue throughout the pandemic so communication was spotty at first but once the venue was fully back up and running they were flexible and easy to work with. We had one event at the Ranches- a gorgeous space and more DIY with vendors etc. The second event was at the lodge with more help from the smith creek team. It was so fun to have our guests staying on site in the cabins (or camping at the ranches!) and they appreciated the access to the new coffee shop/restaurant on site.-

Fabulous Outdoor Wedding Venue
Silver Falls was the perfect wedding venue! My husband and I wanted an outdoor wedding and somewhere our family and friends could gather and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest. These parameters were easily accommodated at Silver Falls Lodge and Conference Center. The lodging was plentiful and comfortable, and the food was super delicious! There's a huge lawn where guests can play lawn games in their free time, and trails to multiple waterfalls are easily accessible from the venue. We had the freedom to use our imaginations and create the ceremony and reception of our dreams, all under the guidance of Lauren, the wedding coordinator at Silver Falls. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the planning process and execution of our wedding. Many of our guests commented on what a great time they had, and several said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I highly recommend Silver Falls as the ideal spot to celebrate your marriage! -

We got married at the New Ranch in the park. It was a beautiful location! The only down side is it is a overnight facility so you can't check in until 4pm so it calls for an evening wedding but the view is amazing when the sun sets. We had about 70 people there and had plenty of room inside and out. Overall it was a breath taking place to get married. -

If you are a bride who likes the outdoors, try this venue! We used the New Ranch as our venue site and some of us slept there in the bunks, some in nearby cabins and some in hotels in nearby silverton. It was beautiful scenery all to ourselves! It has a commercial kitchen that our caterer friend used. The only downside is showers are not located at the ranch, but it has bathrooms and everything else. One of the biggest pluses is it is so inexpensive you can save money for other things. The key is to reserve it 9 months ahead of time! You also have to make sure it is clean when checking out and they a very picky. We took amazing photos in the nearby scenery, I recommend the upper north falls trail, I could do it in my wedding shoes and you get right up to one of the falls! Everyone raved about what an awesome place it was! -

We reserved both the Old Ranch and New Ranch for our wedding. The price was AMAZING ($200 per building per night). There was plenty of room for all our guests and is a truly lovely (rustic) setting. They do not have any rules about food or alcohol, which was great. You are not allowed to have open flames (no real candles), but they do have large fireplaces inside where you can have a great big fire. I would highly recommend Silver Falls if you would like to have a vintage, rustic, or outdoorsy wedding! -
