We had such an amazing experience having our wedding and reception at Columbia Edgewater. Sara was so helpful in putting it all together. And the costs were really reasonable. The ...

food was amazing! Columbia Edgewater takes care of all set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, etc. The staff was fantastic during the entire day. We really felt well taken care of. The food was fantastic! We had our ceremony outside on the balcony. It was perfect with a beautiful view of the golf course and the balcony ceremony spot seems to be the perfect size for up to 100 people. The front yard is also just as beautiful of a spot to have an outdoor wedding ceremony. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful setting, great service for reasonable cost. We are so happy with our choice and we have heard nothing but great things from our guests as well.

The Wedding of Our Dreams at Columbia Edgewater Country Club We could not have asked for a more perfect experience than our wedding at Columbia Edgewater Country Club! From start ...

to finish, the entire team was an absolute dream to work with — professional, organized, kind, and attentive to every single detail. A huge shoutout to the venue’s event coordinator, Miranda Smith, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran flawlessly. Her professionalism and calm presence made the day completely stress-free — every detail was handled beautifully, and I never had to worry about a single thing. She even figured out a way for me to have my dream grand exit of a “pool jump” with my bridal party! Our guests are still raving about the incredible food, and we have Chef Kelly to thank for that! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and exceeded expectations. The quality and care put into the menu truly elevated our entire celebration. The entire staff from bar team to servers were extremely attentive and welcoming to all. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — from the lush golf course views to the elegant event spaces, it provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, the team was so accommodating with every little request and truly went out of their way to make our vision come to life. Thanks to Columbia Edgewater Country Club, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend this venue and their amazing staff enough, if we could relive this day forever we would!!!

She was so wonderful to work with, it was unbelievable. She was always so quick to respond during the planning process and truly made the day of a breeze. I would host another event there in a heartbeat!

Our daughter was married at the CECC in December. We toured & researched many venues prior to our selection. We would choose this venue again in a heartbeat. Jacquie, the event ...

coordinator is to notch. She is knowledgeable, helpful and supportive throughout the process. The venue is beautiful--don't just go by photos, go & tour! Photos do not do it justice. The venue is clean, safe & has plenty of parking and clean restrooms. All of the food & drink was high quality and the food was cooked perfectly. The wait staff was beyond courteous and helpful to us and all of our guests. I would highly recommend the Columbia Edgewater Country Club for your special event.

I cannot say enough good things about Columbia Edgewater Country Club. I booked my date in 2014, just over a year out from my wedding date and the coordinator, Jacque, was very res...

ponsive and accommodating all my questions through the process. I was SO impressed with the staff the day of and during the reception. The staff got us anything we needed for decorating purposes the morning of while we were getting the space ready; our food in the bride and groom suites was there on time and delicious; a server came up to the bridal suite immediately following the ceremony and asked us if we needed any drinks (was SO not expecting that and it was delightful); and during the entire reception, I had multiple servers ask me if I needed something, how I was doing, if there was anything they could do for me. I was VERY impressed by that. The bartender was on point, the staff was amazing. And the food ... .we did a taco bar which was a cost effective option for us and it was better than I could have hoped! The whole thing was truly outstanding. All events have a few snafus, however, and I believe in being inclusive. The ONLY small criticism I have were that there were beautiful hand made edible flowers on our cake that the staff didn't save. The flowers took the cake maker 4-6 hours a piece to make by hand so it was disappointing to not get those back. I also can't seem to locate the cake topper. I think I'd be more upset about that if it weren't that everything else was truly perfect and on point. I have NO hesitation recommending CECC as a wedding venue. Jacque is great to work with and has a wonderful calming demeanor and tried to meet our every need (and did a great job) and the staff overall definitely went above and beyond what I would have expected. On the whole, I'm more than happy with CECC! :)

done early, which was amazing to take the stress off of us. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the bartenders would have been better about managing tabs and such. But they were great about moving our wedding inside last minute because it was so hot outside and it was beautiful! I would definitely recommend the Columbia Edgewater to my friends!

CECC was a fantastic venue to work with! We had to change our venue at the last minute, and CECC was very flexible in helping us find a date that worked for us and them. Jacque is ...

an expert when it comes to weddings and helped make the whole process easy to understand. It was a huge plus for us that they do so much in house. Not having to worry about finding a caterer made planning easy and the day of much simpler. Plus, our guests can't stop raving about how good the food was! I will admit, I was nervous that the venue was a little dated, but it turned out fantastic and more beautiful than I could have imagined on the wedding day! This is an excellent venue and a great value for the price you pay!

I really wanted an outdoor wedding and was planning to have the ceremony out on the lawn and reception inside. Of course, Oregon weather can NEVER be counted on, so when the foreca...

st said showers ALL DAY in the middle of JULY I was pretty disappointed. We ended up calling the wedding inside for the ceremony to save my sanity, and avoid the possibility of a downpour on all our guests. Kelly, the Event Coordinator, and the rest of the CECC staff really came through and listened to what we wanted, in order to accommodate our needs. The extra candles and details really made it romantic inside and the weather ended up holding (go figure!), so we were able to get pictures outside as well. The greens are so well-kept that the backdrop of the course was incredible. People still talk about how good the food was! I was really impressed when the head chef met with us to help make our selection and talk about the preparation and pairing of items. I chose to do a 'family-style' dinner so guests could dish their own food and interact a bit, which included a dinner salad, flank steak with mushrooms, salmon, creamy orzo (which the chef concocted just for me!), asparagus, and roasted red-skinned potatoes. I thought there was a little too much time between the salad and the main course being served, so we just used it as an opportunity to greet some of our guests. We had plenty- 175 ish! Also, since I'm not a huge fan of cake, we did pies instead. Their pastry chef, Heidi turned out those pies beautifully! We had a choice of marrionberry or apple and I have to say, I don't think I've EVER had better apple pie. Seriously. She also was able to make a few mini pies in molds I gave her the day of which were very cute for the dessert table. Amazing. We had a lot of fun and partied through the night and the staff took care of everything. I've seen too many times where the families are helping with the setup and clean up, and this was so much more relaxing seeing everything set up in the morning and the family not having to do the bulk work. They were on top of it, even with the last-minute decision to bring the ceremony inside. Thanks so much CECC! You rocked our night. Lindsay

ople would call me crazy but I wouldn't have changed a thing. I was able to get ready at the venue, have our catering done by them, and our cake! I got so many compliments from everyone about every aspect. Especially the food! The steaks were HUGE! Not a typical venue where you get skimpy portions. This venue gives you everything you need, you can have the whole day to get ready, an amazing bridal suit and groomsmen room. It was great and at the right price! I couldnt believe how affordable it was, and trust me I am cheap. Not someone that says 15k or 20k is cheap and I had almost 200 guests. Kelly was so amazing. She did everything for me. I emailed her a billion emails a day and she took care of it for me. I was so thrilled to have her help. THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the staff of CECC, if I knew all your names I would praise you. ~A very happy bride!

They tailored the menu exactly as we wanted it, tapas and dessert bar. Everything was delicious!
