Went today to Carver Event Center to tour the venue for our vow renewal in 2027. All I can say is Wow! The venue is gorgeous and Jenn puts alot of love and work into it, no longer ...
owned by old owner. Would highly recommend to other couples looking for a wedding or renewal venue. Prices are reasonable and staff goes above and beyond.
Tip for Oregon Brides!
Beware of Linda and The Carver Event Center in Damascus, OR. The venue is beautiful however, Linda is extremely unprofessional and will renege on her contrac...
t. First of all, part of the event package includes the use of her decor closet and her/the staff setting up/tearing down. The morning of the wedding, the bride and bridal party had to bust ass to get decorating completed as Linda only had one other staff member helping her because “it’s a small wedding” and “they aren’t used to Monday weddings.” Throughout the day she made snide comments about the bride and wedding guests accusing us of being wasted which was not true at all. We were allowed to consume alcohol in the bride and groom suites while getting ready until 2pm. The boys had some beers and the bride was drinking champagne. Everyone was behaving appropriately. Around 3:30 it was time for the ceremony. As soon as the wedding party exited the building Linda went through everyone’s belongings without mentioning it to anyone and collected all the alcohol in the suites then hid it from us. It wasn’t until one of us went back to the bridal suite that it was noticed our bottles had been removed. Mind you, no where in the contract or during planning was it stated that Linda would be rifling through our belongings and removing anything from our possessions. When confronted, Linda told us that she would not be returning the bottles until we were in the car leaving the venue. Linda continued to make comments about our event/guests to a staff member while passing guests. Then to top it off, the contract stated that food and dishes were to be bussed before we left and that we could return the following day to collect decor we brought with us. When the bride went to confirm that that’s what we would be doing Linda got snippy and said that if we wanted to do that we needed to be there at 8am. Later, she decided that picking up the following day wasn’t acceptable and told us we had to completely be packed up by 10pm, reneging on her contractual agreement. This sudden change in plan caused us to cut the wedding short in order to be loaded up and leave the venue. I do not recommend working with Linda or booking your wedding at the Carver Event Center. Linda caused unnecessary stress for the bride and greatly affected the wedding experience.
Lynda was wonderful to work with from start to finish and was always available for any questions or concerns that came up. The venue is so beautiful as it is, but they also have so...
many great decor items that help to bring your perfect day to life!
