Willamette Heritage Center Reviews

I can't imagine a more beautiful venue. Really nice people to work with.

We loved having our wedding at Willamette Heritage Center. It is such a charming historical location. Everyone we worked with was very nice and flexible with us, and the grounds were very scenic for the photography.

The Willamette Heritage Center was a beautiful, affordable venue. I liked that they allow you to use whichever vendors you choose. (I had a couple friends do the catering which is how we saved money.) The venue coordinator and grounds keepers were so helpful and supportive.

The Mill was a great place to have my wedding :) it's what I always dreamed of when I was a little girl. I'd do it over and over if I could :)

I had a wonderful experience with Mission Mill! Laura is very flexible and easy to get a hold of. I got married on the grounds and had our reception in the Dye room. Very nice for smaller weddings. Everyone was very helpful and made it a positive experience!

The Mission Mill was the perfect place for our wedding! We used the outdoor space for our ceremony and the Dye house for our reception, and both worked beautifully for us. Laura, the on-site coordinator, was very helpful for all of our questions and was willing to work with our particular needs. Overall, we had a really great wedding and the location and value of the Mill could not have worked out better for us!

Mission Mill Museum is a wonderful place to have a wedding and reception. We rented the chapel as well as the giant Spinning Room and could not have been more pleased!
The grounds are so fantastic! Beautiful grass, water, even ducks. They worked with us to help make our big day a reality with no stress. They had areas that could be used by us for pictures in the event of bad weather. Luckily the weather was perfect so we could take advantage of the flowers and buildings to the fullest. The chapel is adorable and quaint. The spinning room provided enough room for all 160+ of our guests to sit, move around, dance, eat and mingle without being too spaced out or bumping into people. It was perfect and if I could do it all over again, I would choose Mission Mill Museum again as the venue. All our family and friends have still to this day been commenting on how beautiful the place is. And there's something kind of nice about getting married in a place of history!!

We loved having our wedding at WHC. Tammy and her crew were wonderful to work with. They really tried to help out as much as they could and provide extras when available (for example, we needed more than the 200 chairs they had available for the outdoor ceremony, and Tammy was able to bring chairs over from WHC's other venue to make this happen so we didn't have to rent chairs). We did have to rent a lot of thing, as WHC only provides the chairs, tables, and space, but they provided a list of vendors that all were super helpful and experienced with the space, so it was not an issue. I would highly recommend this space for events.

The only reason I didn't give WHC all 5's is because there were several events going on the day of our wedding. We rented the outdoor space and the spinning room, and another group was in the Dye House. Cars and people were passing by our outdoor ceremony space as we were getting ready, which was a little bit annoying. I wish there had been a little more crowd control. It wasn't a big deal though. Again, we had a great experience overall and were very happy with our wedding venue.

The venue was beautiful and perfect! We got married in the Dye House. And the staff was so helpful and were there anytime I had a question, or concern.

It is a quiet elegant place to have a reception. They were flexible on the time, and very cost effecient.

I've been in about 5 times already to look at it again without an appointment and they are always excited to show me and talk about layouts and give me new ideas. Very friendly people! I love it!

The Willamette Heritage Center was a DREAM venue. It had everything you could want in a venue: absolutely on the inside AND outside; large enough to accommodate a big wedding (we had 300 people); beautiful, expansive grounds and old, red buildings that were great for photos; more than enough parking space; no charge for using your own caterer (that's so hard to find!); a kitchen; tables and chairs (plus their set-up) included in the price; a solid sound system. The staff were SO helpful and accommodating. They heard all of my requests and I felt completely confident that my specific requests would be handled. I feel so grateful and lucky that I found this venue with just a Google search!

This venue is beautiful and a really good deal. We got married on the lawn and had our reception in the Dye House. In the beginning, there was a staff member that got a little nasty and threatened to cancel our reservation since we hadn't paid the deposit yet (even though I had left voicemails and email messages trying to get a hold of someone to pay).....anyways, after that we were assigned to a new staff member, Tammy, and it was all good from then on. We were able to hold our rehearsal on the Friday before our wedding (our wedding was on a Sunday) for no extra charge. Tammy was also gracious enough to let me use a room to get ready in on the grounds so that I didn't need to rent a hotel room. She even provided some full-length mirrors. She gave great advice on which way the ceremony should face and where the aisle should start at our final details meeting. On the day of, Jim met me at 5:30 in the morning....he had already set up all the chairs for the ceremony and the reception. He even found an extra table cloth for us when our caterer forgot to bring one for the gift table. And then of course, the grounds and Dye House are just gorgeous. There's a creek that runs under the Dye House and there were baby ducks, too. We just got our pictures back and everything just looks so beautiful. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a gorgeous place to get married without having to go broke for it.

Mission Mill is an old Woolen Mill that has been transformed into a Museum. We were going for a vintage theme, so this place was perfect! We had our ceremony outside on the lawn and our reception inside the Dye House. The services were pretty good, though we did have to track them down to arrange various things. Also, they told me they had a projector that would work for our slideshow, but when the wedding day arrived, their equipment would not work for a Mac computer. That was my fault for not double checking first, but it was frustrating. They did return every call and email in a timely fashion. The staff were very professional and outstanding to work with during our event, and had everything set up exactly how we wanted. I felt the value of the venue was excellent in comparison to other venues. We didn't want to spend a ton, and for a reasonable fee we got a lovely venue. Plus, we were able to use the whole grounds for pictures and milling around. Overall I was very pleased with this organization and venue for our wedding, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful vintage venue.

The Mission Mill Museum is what it is. It is a great venue for both wedding and reception, although I had my wedding at a church and moved the reception to the Mission Mill. The photographer loved the texture and color of the museum ground The photo's are amazing. Parking was easy and accessible to our guests. Further, our cater, DJ, and wedding coordinator loved the the venue.

This space was huge and accomodated all my guests. A little tight on security if you decide to serve alcohol.

This is a great place to hold a reception. It is so classic and doesn't need to be decorated too much. The staff is very friendly and more than happy to work with you. I would have another event here anytime!

We loved this venue. We had a lot to do being from another state and all. They gave us free ice (when they heard us asking a sister to go get ice) by advising they had extra from a previous party. It was a refreshing experience seeing as it's something I would have done. KUDOS

The venue is gorgeous and the perfect place for a wedding. However the people who run it were unresponsive to me and my mother had to be the one to communicate with them as she was unwilling to work with me- very frustrating. Overall the hassle of the people was worth the setting, but be prepared to follow their rules.
