    A Perfect Weekend Wedding

    Truly an unforgettable weekend.

    My husband and I got married at Wind Mountain Ranch the first weekend of October and it was absolutely perfect. (Thanks to Misty at Luxe Productions for orchestrating!)
    Thank you Annie for working with us and helping to make our dreams come true.

    We rented out the whole venue (including all the cabins) for a full weekend of events.
    On Friday we hosted our guests in the main building for a night of wine tasting from our favorite wineries (Hiyu, Maloof, Statera, and David Hill) and paired it with an Indian Buffet from local restaurant Kirpas Indian Cuisine.

    Saturday morning we hosted yoga + soundbath, followed by a beautiful French-inspired picnic on the lawn. Kids and adults alike flew kites and threw frisbees and soaked in the scenery.

    We really wanted to take advantage of the whole venue, so we had welcome cocktails by the pond, and followed with the ceremony on the main lawn. We couldn't pick a favorite view, so chose to have all of them and had the ceremony in the round. Afterwards, we had a seated, family-style dinner in the main building followed by dancing and mingling. The only negative was that it ended too soon. ;)

    The cabins were wonderful for our family to stay in and for us to get ready in. They are really quite lovely and spacious.

    Annie was so helpful with all of our requests and flexible with our schedule. We really could not have been happier. Highly recommend Wind Mountain Ranch!!

    We look forward to coming back and stay in a cabin for our anniversary.

    Amazing venue, highly recommend!

    We had such a special and magical wedding experience at Wind Mountain Ranch! The venue is stunning, with incredible views in all directions. Everyone at our wedding was blown away by the beauty of this location.

    We had the best time celebrating our marriage with our loved ones at Wind Mountain Ranch. And it was so fun to stay in the cabins with friends and continue the celebration. Molly and her team are a pleasure to work with. We will always remember the immense joy, love, and celebration of our wedding. We feel so fortunate and grateful for the whole experience and it will always hold a profoundly special place in our hearts.

    Amazing Venue

    Wind Mountain Ranch is incredibly stunning, with so many options to make your day unique. Molly was so easy to work with, and made sure that no detail went unnoticed. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, it really is the perfect place to get married in the PNW!

    Breathtaking venue, perfect day!

    From the first time meeting with Molly to even after our wedding, she was the absolute sweetest! She is very helpful and made sure we had everything in order for our big day. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and it was amazing to have so much space and use of the cabins for our out of town guests. Everyone who came to our wedding commented on how stunning the venue and the views were! We still have so many friends and family members tell us it was the best wedding they’ve been to! I definitely recommend this venue for any wedding!

    Simply Magical

    This venue is stunning! We had the best weekend of our lives, staying at the cabins, enjoying the Gorge, and working with Molly. The cabins are so cozy and the perfect get away from the city. We stayed all weekend and had our wedding on Sunday. It was magic. We looked at other venues are they are incompatible with Wind Mountain Ranch!

    We will remember this weekend forever.

    Perfect Venue!!

    This venue was absolutely perfect! It was Gorge-ous, the cabins were cozy, and the setting was amazing. Molly was a joy to work with. Very professional, fun and made getting married during a pandemic seem easy. I would highly recommend Gorge-ous Weddings at Wind Mountain Ranch to anyone looking for the perfect place to spend the happiest day of their lives!

    Serene, surreal, and stunning.

    From the first contact we had with this venue, we could feel the passion and love they have for weddings. Every detail of this venue has been meticulously thought through by Molly and her family. Through the entire planning process, Molly was always quick to respond and able to answer all our questions. We had toured a few venues, but as soon as we set foot on Wind Mountain Ranch, we knew this was where we were going to be married. The property is absolutely stunning and the views.... there are no words to describe the mountains and Gorge, you’ll have to go see for yourself!
    Because of Covid-19 we decide to cancel our 150 guest wedding in order to keep everyone safe. I called Molly, distraught and heartbroken that our wedding would be canceled. Molly was so kind and understanding.
    We decided to have and elopement with just our parents and siblings and postpone our reception with all our friends and family until June 2021.
    We had a month to completely replan our wedding, and Molly went above and beyond to help us and answer all of our questions.
    We rented out the cabins the weekend of our elopement for our families. Our families LOVED the cabins, the craftsmanship is amazing and the decor and amenities are so well thought out. They have everything you need, and more!
    The day of our elopement was perfect. Molly made sure everything was set up and ready for us. It ended up pouring down rain, classic Oregon weather. The flexibility of an elopement meant we could wait two hours until the rain cleared to have our ceremony. Again, Molly and her family did more than we could have ever asked for to make sure our day was perfect and adapt to the weather.

    This venue is STUNNING. Absolutely breathtaking! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Molly and everyone at Gorge-ous Weddings and Wind Mountain Ranch. They provided everything we needed for our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to other couples!

    Dream Wedding

    This location is so beautiful. The owners were kind enough to show us around even though we dropped by without an appointment and the coordinator Molly was kind enough to agree to extend our time frame for our party.

    A beautiful venue and a wonderful experience

    Our special day was beyond perfect and a large part of the magic was thanks to Molly with Gorge-ous Weddings at Wind Mountain Ranch. Molly was always quick to respond to my questions and was so sweet to work with. The Columbia River Gorge is so beautiful, but there is something special about Molly's venue, it really is the perfect place to celebrate your love.

    Breathtaking views and exceptional service

    As a vendor I have the pleasure of visiting lots of venues to host events and weddings. Wind Mountain Ranch is so majestic with so much to offer, the gorge views, pond with rolling hills of grass, and mountains wrapping the property. Molly the owner and property manager will take such special care of you taking down all of the pertinent details to ensure the venue is set as planned for your arrival. Having on site accommodations for the night of your wedding for you and your wedding party is also a fantastic perk!

    All the stars!

    There are not enough words to describe how epic this place it. Not only are the grounds BREATHTAKING (our wedding photos are amazing!), but Molly was a dream to work with. Everything was so organized, easy, and very user friendly. They went above and beyond for our wonderful wedding. Highly, highly recommend!

    Incredible Venue

    Gorge-ous Weddings is an incredible scenic venue. It was the first venue we looked at for our wedding and even though we saw many others after leaving we both knew that would be where we would get married. It is not only beautiful because of the incredible Columbia River Gorge views, but also because of all the details the owner, Molly, puts into it. The tent, landscaping, even the guest restrooms are beautiful.

    I don't know where to begin this review. Everyone at Wind Mountain Ranch was a delight to work with. Molly and her team are extremely responsive, considerate, and generous. They have thought of everything in order to make the venue utterly amazing for the couples. It's worth every penny.

    About 4 days before my wedding, the ranch house, where about 12 of our guests were staying, caught fire and was no longer available for guests. Molly's husband called me and guaranteed that they'd find another solution for us. We looked for other nearby rentals, but nothing seemed right. Within a day, Molly and her family offered her dad's house which very close to the venue property. It was such an amazing place and actually ended up being an upgrade from the ranch house. The view from the front patio has an incredible view of the Gorge and was actually where we ended up taking all of our pictures.

    This just goes to show how much Molly and the Wind Mountain Ranch team care about their couples. I can't stop thinking about how great our wedding day was. It was made even better by the relationships we made. Thanks, Molly and team!

    Molly was seriously a dream come true to work with. She was very clear and professional (but also super down to earth and a sweet person) about everything when booking the venue for our wedding. Any questions we had (which was a lot) she always answered for us quick and thoroughly. I cannot tell you how many people commented how amazing and GORGEOUS this venue is. It truly is a little slice of heaven sitting up above the gorge with a breathtaking view. The amenities included in the package make Gorge-ous Weddings worth the price. The best part is being able to use the ranch house while getting ready in the morning! All of the groomsmen, bridesmaids, family, vendors, were commenting how nice it was to all be in one location together. We were even able to rent the house the night before as well, and Molly was extremely helpful in setting this up. I would absolutely recommend booking Gorge-ous Weddings for your special day. We are so happy we did!

    We absolutely fell in love with this venue when we first visited. The views are breathtaking and there's lots of ways to customize your ceremony and reception. Working with Molly was icing on the cake. She was always willing to help and give us ideas to make this the wedding we dreamed of. We had the best experience possible with Gorge-ous Weddings at Wind Mountain Ranch and hope you do too!

    Having our wedding here was the best decision we made about our wedding. From the very beginning everything went smoothly, communication and quick responses from Molly made our wedding planning for decorations very easy. Everything about this venue is worth the money! The views, grassy areas, amazing reception tent and the ranch house. They offer many bonus rentals which helped make our ideas really come to life. We had a lot of family's with tons of kids so having a place for kids to be able to run and play was huge on our list and Wind Mt Ranch truly provides that. My husband and I would recommend Georgous Weddings at Wind Mountain Ranch to any couple looking for a beautiful location with all the amenities you could possibly need for a wedding. Every person from our guest list easily said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been too. We were so blessed to share our special day with all our friends and family, and show them all the beauty that we see living in The Gorge. Thank you, thank you Molly and your whole family for being a part of our day and all the days that led up to it!

    Best wedding venue ever! All of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was; it doesn't get better than having the mountains as your backdrop! Besides the amazing landscape, WMR had so many extra features we simply couldn't find anywhere else - Our wedding party stayed in the ranch house that's included as a part of the venue contract, while we stayed in one of the private cabins. Also, if you're looking for an outdoor venue, you might've noticed it's difficult to find one without porta-potties - WMR does not have that problem! Their restrooms are beautifully done, and we actually had guests comment to us how beautiful the restrooms are (not even joking). Most importantly, Molly is one organized lady - She had prompt answers to our many questions, and with the venue being family property, she knows it extensively and is able to provide the best advice based on her years of experience in the area. Thanks for everything, Molly!

    I swear to you, there is literally no place on this earth more beautiful! Every guest at our wedding is still talking about the location! Not only does it make your beautiful photos, but Molly and her husband are excellent business owners. Even with a baby on the way, Molly managed to be prompt in her responses to us and we were allowed to visit the venue for planning. I wouldn't change a single moment about our special day. My husband, my family, & I all intend to celebrate our five or ten year anniversary at the same venue! It really was that perfect...

    I honestly wish I could rate higher that 5 stars. My husband and I had an amazing wedding day thanks to Molly. The venue was exactly what we were looking for and the price aligned with our budget. Molly was incredibly responsive, answering emails and calls within the same day. Although she was in the middle of wedding season, she still gave us her full attention and she remembered us. I know that sounds strange but with ALL those couples, she remembered what was going to be different about our big day. We were lucky enough to have amazing perfect weather and couldn't have been happier. I would HIGHLY recommend Gorgeous Weddings for a perfect outdoor event.

    My son and now daughter-in-law were married at Wind Mountain on 8.9.14. They feel lucky to have found this venue as it had everything they were looking for - a beautiful setting, indoor tent option and a fun flexible coordinator. Molly stressed from the beginning that she wanted to help them create the day of celebration that felt right for them and she truly did. Wind Mountain Ranch was one of the few outdoor venues that had the essentials included (tables, chairs, linens, restrooms, bar, lighting, house for wedding party preparation) but allowed them to bring in their own caterer and beverages. The cost was comparable to other venues but was a better value due to its inclusive package and lack of add on costs. It truly was the perfect venue for their special day!

    Wind Mountain Ranch is an incredible find! We were so lucky to have stumbled upon it while searching the internet for venues near Portland. It was the first and only venue we visited – we knew right away that this venue was for us. The open space, incredible views, natural beauty, amenities (tent, tables & chairs, house, ceremony site(s), bathrooms), and the personal feel of the venue sold us over immediately - even on a cold and rainy day in late February. What we did not know at the time, but quickly discovered, was that the beauty and personal feel of the venue were just the beginning of our positive experience. Molly was hands down the most responsive and helpful person we dealt with during our planning process. I cannot stress enough how critical this was to the success of our wedding. No matter how small the detail, she responded quickly and clearly so that I could move forward with planning. She was helpful with suggestions and open and flexible to working with us to make our event special and successful. The package also allows for personalization and flexibility to work with your budget and theme. We felt that we had most exceptional event – it was a resounding success and we could not have been happier. Our friends and family kept asking where we found out about Wind Mountain Ranch. It is a unique and special place – Molly and her family have worked to preserve the personal and family feel and this is felt in the warm and welcoming energy that fills the entire venue. We are so thankful that we came across Wind Mountain Ranch in our search – it was perfect! I highly recommend going for a visit if you are looking for an event venue, you will be sold the moment you drive up the driveway.

    Gorge-ous Weddings at Wind Mountain Ranch was one of the last venues we looked at, and immediately after taking the tour and speaking with Molly, we knew it was the one. Whereas all the other venues seemed to be lacking an element that we were looking for, or there was something we would have to make-do with, Wind Mountain Ranch had literally everything we were looking for and more. Molly seemed super organized and on top of things, which was comforting. The grounds were immaculate, the views stunning, and the ranch house was beautiful and a perfect, comfortable place for everyone to get ready before hand. With tables, chairs, and linens provided, and additional decorative items available for use, we didn't even have to get any outside rentals which was awesome. On the day of the wedding, the venue was even more beautiful than the first time we saw it, and our guests were raving about what a gorgeous location it was. Molly was fantastic to work with and we couldn't have chosen a better backdrop for our big day.

    We loved this venue from the moment we saw the pictures online! Everything turned out perfectly and just as we had envisioned. Molly was wonderful and very helpful. Our guests were blown away. It was perfect!

    Molly was amazing! She made sure we had everything we needed for our wedding day and everything was perfect. She's so nice and helpful. Not only did she help us with everything for the venue, but she helped us by suggesting other vendors and helping me find a place to alter my dress :)

    Getting married here came at the most amazing time for me, my now husband and family. We were having some horrible family stresses and had to find a venue fast! We met Molly and her husband at a wedding show and immediately hit it off with them. We felt bad for taking their time at the show (because we had a venue at the time), but then were so thankful for spending that time with them because when our venue fell through, we immediately thought of them! Molly was so considerate and thorough. They have such fun things to rent to make your day special. Getting married on a ranch (that has such rich family history to begin with) was a complete joy. The day was BEAUTIFUL and my wedding was perfect. I am not lying when I say that people still talk to me about my wedding (3 years later) and they still comment on how gorgeous and seamless the day was. Please get married here- you will not regret it!

    Jesse and I dated for five years before finally tying the knot. We got engaged in December 2012 and immediately started looking for venues, hoping for a 2013 wedding. We thought we wanted an urban wedding and looked at a handful of venues in the Portland area, all of which were really expensive and each lacked that special something we were looking for.

    We knew about Gorge-Ous Weddings through a family friend and Molly was able to get us in for a tour right away. It didn't take us long to figure out that we found our wedding venue and we really lucked out booking a summer Saturday.

    Gorge-Ous Weddings is so accommodating! They don't nickel and dime you for everything you want and they have a plethora of on-site items to use like tables, chairs, wine barrels and decorative items to rent as well so you don't have to order too many things from an outside rental company. Also, a big expense for us at other venues were chairs. Gorge-Ous has beautiful white chairs and at other venues, we were looking at a few thousand to cover the ugly brown chairs or rent nice white ones… big money and headache saver! From start to finish, they made our planning process so easy and our day was beautiful! The sun was shining, the venue was amazing, and we wouldn’t imagine a better way to start our life together.

    Molly was amazing! She was wonderful with communication and very sweet! Gorge-ous weddings was the most amazing venue I had looked at, and it was in our budget! The views are breathtaking! The only thing I wish upon is that they allowed my dogs to share our special day with us :)

    Wind Mountain Ranch far exceeded our wishes for an outdoor wedding with beautiful scenery and a giant awesome reception tent. On our big day, I burst into tears the moment we rounded the corner and saw the chairs set up for our ceremony facing the mountains. The forecast for our late September wedding was rain - an anomaly. We kept our ceremony outside and watched as the clouds rolled around us and sheets of rain came down across the river. We breathtakingly beheld a miracle. The sun shined on us when our officiant pronounced us married. Our photographer took over 5,000 photos and guests commented all day about how gorgeous the setting is, one comparing it to a mountainside in Ireland. The whole day was full of magic. We really enjoyed the ranch house for getting ready and staying overnight with close family and friends after the reception. Molly was an incredible help for months of wedding planning, answering tons of questions and accommodating us for our visits to the venue to figure out all our little details, including a variety of lawn games. Molly was so open and helpful. She even changed the wording in the contract to honor us as a same-sex couple. I could talk for hours about all that is amazing at Wind Mountain Ranch!

    The property is truly gorgeous! It's a lovely location with lots of options. We loved it and our guests enjoyed the beauty of the locale. Common adjectives used by our friends and family (and even other vendors) were, "gorgeous," "beautiful," "amazing," and "magical." The story of the venue is quite sweet as well (something to appreciate if you're the sentimental type). The owners are professional, clear and direct. They are running a business but if you have an inquiry, need or question, just ask and/or explain. Things are pretty black and white, but there is also consideration and flexibility. Come the weekend of, we enjoyed having personal connections and pleasant interactions with them.
    There's definitely items included in the rental that are helpful. There are also rentals available and other conveniences available. Just be prepared to pay! The venue and extras add up quick and it can get expensive. We wished more was included in the overall package price (like decor rentals, more inclusive of lodging, etc.)... but overall, we feel like we got what we paid for and it was completely worth it!

    The venue is picture perfect! Everything you need to make your special day unbelievably beautiful is right on site. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for our wedding.

    The name doesn't lie - the venue is absolutely stunning. Everyone was blown away by the magnificent backdrop of the breathtaking gorge. The venue provides many conveniences such as an existing bar with two taps, a catering area, water, power, and of course the fantastic guest house! Molly was wonderful to work with and very straightforward. The existing structures (fences, lighting, and country items) made the venue a real-life dream. The are some strict rules and timelines to follow but it is definitely worth it- the site is worth treasuring.

    Oh my goodness! I can't say enough good things about this venue!!! My husband and I left the wedding feeling like we just lived a fairy tale! The place is absolutely beautiful and the owner Molly was extremely awesome ! She got back to us about every detail and made the process of choosing a venue super easy! All the guests talked for months after the wedding about how beautiful the venue was! The venue was a bit pricey but in the end you only get married once, it was totally worth it!'

    My husband and I just got married at the wind mountain ranch one month ago today! Our experience there was so amazingly perfect. The ranch house made it so easy for the girls to get ready and for the boys to get to kick back and relax down stairs. Everyone raved about our venue and the view is breathtaking. Molly does a very professional job and organizing and responding to any questions you may have. I can't thank her enough for such a memorable day.

    This was the first venue we visited & knew it was the right one for us right away. Molly was great at answering questions & quick to respond. The venue has gorgeous views of the mountains & everyone thought it was the most beautiful venue they had been to.There are also views of the Columbia River & many options for locations on the property to get married at. We were very happy with our choice and couldn't have been happier with the venue.

    Beautiful venue. Hands down one of the prettiest venues around. All of our guests were stunned by the venue and the scenery. My husband and I, even though we had a perfect wedding and it was an amazing day, we think the venue is overpriced. We think it's way too much money for the venue, that includes the tent, most tables and linens, chairs, bar, and ranch house. (I believe it's more money now because they include the 3 cabins on site)

    It always felt like a competition when trying to get a date set to come out and view the venue, even after we were locked down with our date. Molly would give us a date and time that we could come out but also say that she gave those dates and times to other people. It was stressful because we had to always act fast

    In the contract we were forced to go with her bartender that Molly contracts with. We had a lot of trouble with one of the bartenders throughout the night. From withholding white wine to guests. Instead of saying "we don't have any chilled bottles at the moment" they would say they were out, which is super confusing to guests when it's the beginning of the reception and white wine is on the menu. We also had an incident at the end of the night when all but a few close relatives, the one bartender we had trouble with and our coordinators crew were the last ones there. My husband and I lost a gifted 1979 bottle of wine and him and the coordinator went to look for it. They went by the trash bins and found 2 full cases of unopened wine next to the bins, under cardboard boxes that were empty. They were both shocked. Now, we can't be 100% certain on this but all the evidence that we have points in the direction of the bartender. It was very disappointing to know that somebody was trying to steal two cases of wine, and that we had to deal with this at the end of the night. There were a lot of pointing fingers back and forth between or coordinator and her crew and the bartending company. It was all very disappointing.

    Covid-19 Nightmare

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the owner was genuinely a nice lady. However, due to Covid-19, Washington has mandated that wedding ceremonies can only have 30 people, and receptions are cancelled, which meant that our September wedding would not take place. Because my fiance and I are moving the week after our (at the time) wedding date, we are unable to reschedule. We requested a refund of our deposit because unfortunately, we were not cancelling but the state had mandated it, and rescheduling is not an option. The venue will not provide a refund because it is 'non-refundable'. While we completely understand if we had chosen to cancel this wouldn't be something we could get back, but because it is required by the state we live in, we asked this be waived. Unfortunately, the venue will not provide us our $4600 for services that were not provided.

    Horrible experience - do not book this place

    DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! The owners are horrible to work with, make everything difficult and treat paying customers like garbage. Our wedding was planned for July 2020 and due to coronavirus we had to cancel, as the size would not be allowed under governmental restrictions. No support was provided for rescheduling whatsoever and the "options" we were given were non-options and a complete ripoff (i.e. expecting us to pay $2K more than the usual Friday rate to get a Friday next summer and not giving us ANY Saturdays to choose from even though we had already paid extra for a Saturday). We ended up walking away because the whole experience was so awful and they kept our ENTIRE deposit in exchange for nothing but an awful memory, a whole lot of stress and the absolute worst customer service imaginable. Trust me, you do NOT want to work with these people. Keep looking -- there are so many other beautiful venues in Washington where you will be treated with respect and empathy. Stay far away from this one.
