Best Wedding Venues In The Pacific Northwest That Will Make You Feel Like You’re NOT in The Pacific Northwest

If you recently got engaged and your google search history is full of things like “Best destination wedding venues in the pacific northwest” or “What state is best for a destination wedding?” then buckle up because I am bringing you some of my top picks for wedding venues in the pacific northwest that will make you feel like you grab your passport, hopped on a plane and landed in the some of the most beautiful wedding venues around the world.

Yes, it’s true. The Pacific Northwest is full of wedding venues that scream Pacific Northwest vibes. But did you know several Oregon wedding venues will give you a destination wedding feel right here in the Pacific Northwest?

If you think that the traditional pacific northwest wedding venue vibe just won’t fit you and your partner but aren’t sure if a destination wedding weekend is in the cards. Then have a look at some of these beautiful venues. 

Brasada Ranch– Powell Butte, Oregon

Bradada Ranch was recently voted the #8 best resort in the U.S. for a reason. The venue blends modern rustic with the high desert landscape. You’ll feel like you’re celebrating a wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while on the property.

Discover 1,800 acres in central Oregon primed for exploration and adventure with panoramic views, award-winning golf, and curated experiences that evoke a wild sense of wonder. Make an entire weekend celebrating for you and your guests by visiting the spa, doing yoga, or taking a sunset horseback ride before your welcome dinner party. 

Del Mar Villa– Dundee, Oregon

Del Mar Villa in Dundee, Oregon, will leave you feeling like you’re at a wedding in Lake Como, Italy. The building and grounds are very similar to those of Villa Balbiano or Villa Astor wedding venues on the Amalfi coast. 

Del Mar boasts a 26,000+ sq ft luxury ‘Italian Chateau-inspired Villa on 46 acres in the heart of Oregon Wine Country! Sprawling out behind hundreds of acres of hazelnut and blueberry groves, Del Mar Villa encompasses acres of impeccably maintained lawn, patio areas, sports courts, walking paths, an arbor, and much more. The Villa features 11 bedrooms (8 luxury suites and a 3-bedroom family suite), 10+ bathrooms, private and gathering spaces, a ballroom, a chefs’ kitchen, three kitchenettes, a pool table with an entertainment area, 3+ dining spaces, and endless outdoor spaces!

This elegant wedding at Del Mar Villa highlights the classic and timelessness of the venue.

Amaterra Winery– Portland, Oregon

Amaterra Winery is a private membership-based winery, vineyard, and club just minutes from downtown Portland. Amaterra is a wedding venue rooted in the appreciation of family and friendship, which couldn’t make me love them more. You’ll be close to Portland, so your guests will have access to all the accommodations, but you’ll feel like you’re at a destination wedding in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Lakewold Gardens– Lakewood, Washington

Lakewold Gardens is a 10-acre Estate garden wedding venue in Lakewood, Washington. The historical estate will transport you to a Georgian-style wedding without having to leave the pacific northwest. Lakewold Gardens is for intimate weddings of 80 guests and offers elopements year-round.

Desert Wind Winery– Prosser, Washington

Where do I even start with Desert Wind Winery wedding venue? Desert Wind is inspired by Santa Fe and was called a grand luxury experience by the Oregonian. Desert Winds has a warm, southwest ambiance from the stucco exterior to the cobblestone patios. Intimate groups and groups of up to 150 guests are welcome.

Monet vineyard– Brush Prairie, Washington

Monet Vineyard Wedding Venue

Monet has been a favorite venue for photo sessions for a long time. So I was thrilled to hear that Monet Vineyards is opening their books for weddings this year! Monet echoed the beauty of European homes and gardens in Portugal.

Monet Vineyard is a private estate hosting a limited number of weddings per year for 75 guests and under. Making Monet Vineyard the perfect intimate European-inspired garden wedding venue. 

 Much like this editorial, It’s the perfect space if you’re looking for a chic, old-world venue with a touch of romance.

 Black Walnut Inn– Dundee, OR

The Black walnut inn and Vineyard is a wedding venue only an hour from Portland, Oregon. The Villa is perched over 100 acres of vines in the heart of Willamette Valley, giving you all the feeling of a Tuscan wedding venue in Oregon. With a maximum of 50 guests, their wedding packages are a better fit for someone looking for a more intimate wedding. But don’t let that hold you back from having the wedding weekend of your dreams. Having an intimate wedding weekend means that you get to spend more time with the people you love. Go on a sailboat ride with them all, go horseback riding, or take a winery tour together.

Villa Catalana Cellars– Oregon City, Oregon

Villa Catalana Cellars is a small east Willamette Valley winery located thirty minutes south of Portland, Oregon, between Canby and Oregon City. The winery and Estate are inspired by San Clemente de Tahull, a 12th-century romanesque church in Catalonia, Spain. The gardens and estate give you a Mediterranean feel. 

And there you have it! If you have questions or would like to chat, let’s connect!

Fascinated by every glittering detail — from the bride’s smile to the heirloom necklace her grandmother let her borrow — I showcase every facet of a wedding day so you can treasure it for decades. 

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.  

My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the beaches of sunny California to the mountains in Oregon. But regardless of where I travel, the Willamette Valley and deep forest of my own slice of heaven will always be my home.
