We had our wedding on and absolutely stunning early fall day at The Stage and we are so thrilled with Horning’s Hideout!! We cannot say enough great things- this is really a perfect PNW gem. We got incredibly lucky with this venue. It’s the best combination of forest, outdoors, and still covered space options in a beautiful setting. Nancy Horning was prompt, professional, and so helpful. We were able to visit the venue multiple times, which helped us determine our set up and decor. Horning’s is a popular spot and this was helpful for curating the absolute best vendors for our wedding day. It was so important to us to be able to have the freedom to pick our different vendors and Horning’s made this easy. The grounds are kept in impeccable condition, it was easy to guide guests to our specific venue, and the bathrooms were stocked with the necessities all night! Our guests raved about our venue and it’s because Nancy and the rest of the HH staff are clearly dedicated to maintaining their different venue sites so that everyone gets to enjoy the beautiful space. The Stage site itself was spacious but still felt intimate with our 50 person wedding. Really this venue has it all- I wish I could throw my wedding here on repeat because it was such an incredible day.

Horning’s Hideout was a stunning venue for our wedding day, especially the Lakeside setting. The scenery was breathtaking, with vibrant hanging flower baskets, peacocks roaming the...

grounds, and twinkling string lights, all of which made the space feel magical. We didn’t feel the need to add much in terms of decorations beyond the tables—we embraced the natural beauty of the location. Since this was my first time booking a venue, I wasn’t sure what’s typically included in the base price, but it’s worth noting that Horning’s Hideout does have additional fees for things like Wi-Fi (there’s no cell service at the venue), extra tables and chairs, wedding insurance, a PA system, and more. While these weren’t deal breakers for us, it’s something to be aware of if you’re new to wedding planning. One great perk is that you can bring your own alcohol without needing an OLCC bartender, though wedding insurance is required. The venue also offers unique options like camping for large parties, disc golf, and paddle boat rentals, which we used for some adorable photos! The overall experience was magical, and our guests absolutely loved the venue. If you book a Friday wedding, like we did, you get access from Thursday evening for your rehearsal through Saturday at 9 a.m., which was incredibly convenient for setting up and leaving things overnight. The staff did seem a bit tense toward the end of the night, but in fairness, we had a few overly enthusiastic (and drunk) guests. Despite that, I really appreciated their patience and their excellent communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the event.

of space and we didn't even realize other weddings were going on elsewhere on site. Bob and his team were very helpful and friendly, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Vendors were also able to get to the space with ease. One note: it will be difficult to get Uber/Lyft out there for pickups, so set up transportation ahead of time. You can leave your car overnight, so we had a party bus pick up everyone, and it worked out great. We couldn't imagine a better location to get married.

Thank you Bob for all your help.

We got married at the Creekside area of Horning’s Hideout. We hit it off with Bob(the owner) upon meeting him for the initial tour and we booked right away. Horning’s is a wonderf...

ul outdoor spot and the Creekside location truly is a magical setting for a wedding. Bob can connect you to other vendors as much or as little as you would like. He’s very friendly and responds promptly to questions or concerns. It ended up raining a bit on our big day and Bob made sure the chairs were dry for our guests. One of the biggest perks to booking at Horning’s is that you get your spot for the whole day, so there’s no hectic logistics with set-up and tear-down. Bob has all the tables, chairs and linens, so you don’t need to rent them elsewhere. There’s lots of beautiful spots for photos and while there will likely be other weddings on the property at the same time, your site is private and secluded. There were 2 other weddings on our day and we wouldn’t have otherwise known.

I started my wedding search on Instagram. I googled "weddingsporland" and this venue popped up. I'll admit, When I originally viewed their website and instagram page, I wasn't too ...

impressed. I thought this was more of a "Concert" venue than wedding. I then went back to instagram and looked at their tagged photos and saw one that inspired us to drive out there. Approaching the venue, I felt like I was lost and wasn't sure if it was the right area, I felt like I was driving through people's property until I made it to my destination. The Lush smells of the woods hit me the second we got to the venue. The Peacocks were so beautiful and owned this property. When we got there, I was told there are 3 different wedding sites and we toured all three. My husband and I had intimate wedding which was around 80 people. The "Creekside" Venue was absolutely beautiful. We knew the second we went down there that this was the spot we needed to have for our wedding. The creek was beautiful, the pond, the TREES WERE SO BIG AND BEAUTIFUL! Everything was just perfect. There is RV parking, Camping and hotels that are roughly 20 minutes shy of the venue. Food was catered, we did have to purchase something to have an open bar. Bob had every question answered the second it was asked. Exceptional host for this place. This Venue is a literal hidden gem and nothing but compliments came to use about the wedding venue we selected. I suppose if you are a "heavy" partier, this place may not meet your standards due to the check in time the day of to set up (unless wedding is on a friday) and you have to do the clean up the next day. For us, It was the best and accommodated our needs for a spectacular wedding. I'd give 10 stars because of how special our wedding memories are, but unfortunately it only allows 5.

so everything worked out wonderfully. He was very prompt and answered any questions we had.

The location was beautiful! We got married at the Main Stage, and it was perfect for what we wanted to do. There was so much space that we could have food, dancing, lawn games, a "...

kids' corner," and camping. As the owners said, we couldn't hear the other weddings going on at the same time, so it really felt like we had a private little spot in the woods. The owner was also very responsive, especially day-of: the power was shut off for fire prevention, and he immediately went out and grabbed generators and set them up in time for the ceremony.

Horning’s Hideout is the best!! I knew I wanted an outdoor wedding in the woods so when we toured Horning’s Hideout as our first venue tour, I knew we didn’t need to look any furth...

er, it was perfect! Very reasonably priced in my opinion for what you get. The owner, Bob, is fantastic. His personality is awesome, he’s laid back and super quick at communicating. Best part is that you get the venue all night, they don’t kick you out at a certain time so you can party all night if you want to. We chose the creek side location and it was stunning, everything I could’ve dreamt of and more, but all the locations are beautiful. I’m so thankful that we went with Horning’s hideout, can’t recommend them enough!!

Anyone who is looking for a secluded getaway spot to hold a special day, I would HIGHLY recommend Horning's Hideout.

Bob came by to check on things and tidy the bathrooms throughout the event, and he was very kind and helpful on our day - even going as far to keep an eye out for the groom by radioing the entrance and letting me know when the coast was clear so I could run around in between hair and makeup. We had shopped around a lot of venues, and this was definitely worth while for all the space and time you get.

better venue. My daughter wanted the perfect rustic wedding and it was delivered. It was almost magical, the weather was perfect and location was perfect. The wedding was at Creekside all three locations were available but we loved having the ceremony by the creek and then the reception was under the patio and the dining tables were in the grass area. The patio was beautiful all lit up with lights - We were able to dance the night away. We even had our rehearsal dinner at the venue, luckily our caterer was able to cater our dinner - it was lovely eating with our wedding party at the venue.

Beautiful venue! We were at the Creekside location. The grounds are kept up very well and parking is near by. It's so magical with all the trees and the creek right next to the cer...

emony space. Exactly what we were looking for! I would advise renting your own table cloths as the ones they supply are removed at 10pm even if your reception isn't over yet. So just work that into your overall budget. Also, set up is allowed as early as 11am. So make sure you have a lot of helping hands to get that done quickly as 11 is a late set up time. Other than that- no complaints. It was a wonderful day- beautiful venue! Highly recommend!
