The Oregon Golf Club

g and seamless. We couldn't have been more proud to host a wedding there!

he PNW. About 90% of our 130 guests flew in from out of state and had never been to Oregon before, and there was no better way to show off the natural beauty than to arrive at the entrance of OGC. Every single staff member at OGC was a delight to work with and truly came through day-of. Christina was the manager we worked with throughout the 8 months of planning, and from the very first meeting, she was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and flexible with our numerous asks. From the curated wine list to the floor layout to managing multiple vendors, Christina was there for us throughout every step. On wedding day, Nicole was a true gem and periodically checked-in on us and kept everyone, especially the bride, centered and confident. Additionally, I want to give a huge thank-you to Pablo, Jared, Garret, Tim, and the many staff members who set up the tables, wiped off the wet rose garden chairs (it had snowed earlier that week and rained morning-of!), passed cocktail-hour drinks and hors oeuvres, and served us all during dinner, we were treated with respect, kindness, and efficiency. The OGC staff are the day-of heroes for making this joyful yet complex wedding a true success. One of my cherished pre-wedding moments occurred while pausing in the Pavilion to watch the staff meticulously attend to every table set-up detail as the band readied to play. Please do yourself a favor and choose OGC to be your wedding venue – you won’t regret it!

been able to experience our wedding day there. Would recommend to anyone planning their wedding in the greater Portland area!

and always made sure we had what we needed. The staff was incredible on wedding day and we truly felt like everything was so well organized and executed. Our ceremony was outside in the garden and the reception was held in the elegant white tent. I would recommend this venue and team to anyone looking for the perfect outdoor/indoor Oregon summer wedding. Nothing beats the beautiful venue, atmosphere, and team at OGC!

us. From our first walk through of the venue she made us feel so welcomed and at ease. We looked at a few other venues before but after leaving the OGC we searched no more! My fiance and I both knew we wanted to get married there! Nicole was always easy to contact and communicate with. She really made me feel like it was my special day and not just another wedding. Day of our wedding all the staff were amazing. The dinner was great, the staff were friendly and all our guests were well served.

down our easiest and most understanding vendor to make changes with. They made me feel so comfortable during such an uncertain and stressful time. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Christina for my planning process. She is so organized, kind, professional, ALWAYS available for a call when I wanted to talk something through, and all around an absolute joy to work with. We had many guests visit from out of town and they were blown away with the beauty of the club (especially that drive in!), and I am still getting compliments today that it was the most beautiful wedding folks have been to. The space itself is already stunning, so adding florals, décor, etc. just make it that much more beautiful. The food, service and staff were all amazing as well - everything went off without a hitch. I cannot recommend the Oregon Golf Club enough - thank you for everything Christina & Team!!

dding needs: getting ready spaces for the couple, ceremony in the rose garden, cocktail hour on the patio, and a reception space that can be creatively arranged for dinner and dancing! My husband and I were a Covid-19 affected couple and planned to have our wedding at the OGC in July 2020, but like many others, decided to move our date. We reschedule another two times, until landing on July 23, 2021! OGC was super understanding, flexible with us, and supported each of our date changes. As a bride, to have the personal care and support from event coordinators during a stressful time was so appreciated and what makes OGC so special! Highly recommended!

th all the changing covid guidelines and also made sure that we got to still enjoy the simple pieces of wedding planning like our food tasting, venue tours and even helping us select additional vendors. Everything about our day was perfect and I'm so happy we selected the Oregon Golf Club for our big day!

us since we wanted elements of nature. Nicole Ball was fabulous with organizing planning meetings and coordinating with us as a couple to know what we wanted for the day. The staff were always very friendly, especially at the in-person tasting when we needed our own due to dietary needs. There are so many lovely spots for pictures (i.e. the grand staircase!) The getting ready rooms also helped pull it all together (since we were largely there before the ceremony started). The Pavilion did not feel like a tent space at all - it envelopes you into this wedding world with the decor and lighting. Overall, we had a wonderful Fall wedding at the Oregon Golf Club!

so patient and gracious answering all of our questions throughout the entire wedding planning process. The Rose Garden and Pavilion are stunning and are perfect for a wedding backdrop. On the day of the wedding, everything was beautifully executed and exactly what we had planned with Nicole. I’m so glad we chose the Oregon Golf Club as our wedding venue!

ft within weeks of each other. They then hired Rita to replace Stephanie and as of yet have not hired another event coordinator. Rita was slow to respond to emails and phone calls and when she did respond, her answers were incomplete and her follow through in general was poor. They were months late on charging us deposits and missed contract deadlines by weeks. Everything about our wedding related to the venue was figured out at the very last minute and it was incredibly stressful. The day of our wedding we arrived to find one staff member who seemed annoyed to be working on a Saturday and who struggled to find staff to help set up ceremony chairs and set tables. That said once the reception started there was plenty of helpful staff, great bartenders and fantastic food. Everything worked out in the end, but The Oregon Golf Club made me feel like my wedding was just another day and like they were just there to collect my money. If you’re looking to work with a responsive and organized team of people then I wouldn’t recommend the Oregon Golf Club.

up having to get a tent the day of our wedding for the rose garden area because it rained all day, up until our wedding and then stopped raining. 🙄 For the money you are paying for this venue, it’s definitely prettier without the tent. The tent takes away from a lot of the garden appeal, especially the archway that you would normally stand in front of during the ceremony. We ended up having to pay for an arbor from our florist so that the inside of the tent looked pretty. The venue was still very pretty, and the reception hall is gorgeous with all of the draping. I highly recommend getting the extra draping package, so behind your head table/sweetheart table it looks good. That’s what we ended up doing and we are glad we did it. Without that draping package there would have just been a black wall because behind that black wall, is the kitchen where all of the staff goes in and out of. We only had two small issues with the venue, one of them was the food quantity. The quality was outstanding. We did a Fettuccine Pasta dish which was fantastic, they accommodated is with this since their food package doesn’t normally have a pasta dish, we also did rockfish and the prime rib carving station. All turned out so good. But when they were dismissing tables to go to the buffet line, they ran out of rockfish before all of the tables were even dismissed. They then told one of my bridesmaids that the fish that was put out was enough quantity for everyone at the wedding, when there were still numerous tables that hadn’t been seated yet. They ended up going to get more, but by the time it came out, everyone had already had their servings. Our second issue was with the desserts. It could have been the timing of when we cut the cake, to when we ended up leaving that night maybe? But I had several guests tell me that the venue was cutting our cake into servings and placing it on tableS for guests to get, but the tables they were putting the cake on, had nobody at them. Cause they had already left. So a lot of our cake went to waste unfortunately. But I do recommend this venue. It is so so pretty and we got the best photos from our photographer.

heir grooms' quarters were not in a barn, like the majority (ALL) of the other 14 venues we visited. Barf. Our wedding guests said this venue was the classiest, most beautiful any of them had ever been to. It lightly rained the day of our wedding, and Anna (Ah-nuh, NOT Anna Banana) was working through rain-options with us to the very last minute in the event of a downpour. Everything about the experience was a dream come true. Thank you, Oregon Golf Club team!!

the food was AMAZING!

while we were getting ready wasn’t amazing. We are members there and know that they like to keep weddings out of sight for members, but they could have been more accommodating. Several times we asked for things (mirrors, for example) and the attendant would just disappear and not address the request for hours if at all. Also, we had no steak knives for steak during dinner so we were trying to cut steaks with butter knives. That said, the venue is just a great set up especially for a big group and I do recommend, I just hope they find a way to be a little more organized and accommodating for people on their big day.

r phone. I would recommend the Oregon Golf to anyone! What an unforgettable day for my husband and me. Thank you!!

her it was through emails or phone calls, she was always there to answer our questions or concerns! I would highly recommend this place! Great venue and wonderful team. Was the more beautiful than I even could have imagined!

quests and made the whole wedding process so much less stressful than it needed to be.

t answering any questions my family or I had about our package. The venue is beautiful! There were so many flowers in the ceremony garden and the air conditioned Rose Pavilion where our reception was held was so appreciated for our 100 degree wedding day! The food was incredible and we got so many compliments from our guests. Our wedding day was absolutely spectacular and The Oregon Golf Club was the perfect backdrop for it!

d estimate before we left after the tour. Sadly we had to decide on a date (due to family) that they ended up being already booked. I would highly recommend this venue as you will not be disappointed!

st be over. I assume the food would have been amazing but I never got there. What I got was four site visits to a beautiful place with four different people who can corroborate my story on the following: one coordinator rolling her eyes repeatedly and saying memorable things like "We are really just trying to fill our calendar", her supervisor claiming I must have "misunderstood the tone over email" of that first coordinator, then telling us that about a third of the outdoor patio space (incidentally, the third that makes the entire space gorgeous and has access to the beautiful view they boast) would actually be blocked off and not part of the site rental although it was initially and repeatedly presented as a feature. This information, by the way, was not disclosed up front, but revealed to me in the final hour of contract signing because I happened to ask just the right questions in just the right way. Other brides may not be so lucky. They're very responsive; a favorite response around here seems to be "my hands are tied", which is just the kind of confidence-inspiring, customer-advocating language you want to hear from someone you're spending $30,000 with. Although I spent months wishing and hoping and making excuses for the customer service RED FLAGS I experienced (to the bewilderment of the 4 people I mentioned before, and mostly because the space, which turned out not to really be the space, was so beautiful) it is finally clear to me that my business belongs elsewhere. Yours does too.

ing me to the location... as it was supposed to be candid, so the bride/fiancee didn't know I was taking the pictures.

d and beverages are fantastic. Things to know: I'm not calling these negatives, as they are more so things that some may not care about but others might. The event coordinators that you work with on the details prior to the big day are fantastic, but the actual day of staff is not - I highly recommend hiring your own day of coordinator to handle all the details! There were several little details that were missed that we had to scramble at the last minute to take care of. You cannot take any of the leftover food home or bring in any outside food or beverages. It's pricey but definitely worth the cost in my opinion!
