My partner and I were so happy that we were able to work with the Oregon Golf Club to host our wedding celebration! While we chose OGC initially due to sentimental reasons, we woul...d absolutely recommend working with their team, and especially Nicole Ball, for any event. The service and venue truly exceeded our expectations!
Planning process:
OGC made it super easy to plan our event with detailed planning and information packages that really streamlined the naturally stressful process. Throughout our planning time, Nicole was also open to answering questions and helped us feel supported along the way. She also demonstrated a lot of flexibility; even with needing to postpone our event due to covid, she was happy to work with us to figure out new plans. In addition, we may not have been the typical couple that works with OGC -- with wanting to DIY/customize a lot of details -- Nicole was kind enough to give helpful direction to ensure we made informed decisions. Our plans ended up working out the way we envisioned them!
Food & Drinks:
Due to planning a wedding from out-of-state, we were unable to attend the complimentary tasting event that OGC holds for their couples, which may have slightly affected our experience with food served as we had to choose blindly. Still, the menu choices were varied and thoughtful, and the kitchen was accommodating to dietary needs. Variety was also not an issue with beverages offered, and half way through the night, many guests were already letting us know that OGC's signature cocktails were serious business.
Customization:
I would say one of the highlights of OGC is how easy it was to customize our event! In looking through photographs from previous events, we immediately noticed really different designs within the exact same venue space and were excited execute our own vision as well. Having so many locations to potentially utilize (on-site getting ready suites, clubhouse meeting rooms, indoor main dining room, the vineyard lawn, rose garden, and rose pavilion), we were able to design our event to match our needs exactly. Rain plans were also super straight forward to create given the many options.
Service:
The event team did a great job on the day-of! We could tell they were experienced and attentive and everything ran smoothly. The bartender was great with our guests and all the wait staff were polite and professional.
Venue:
Lastly, the venue is simply beautiful! There was a good mix of modern and rustic views all around, and we were lucky enough with the weather to have unobstructed views of mt hood.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience at the OGC. Super thankful to Nicole and the whole OGC event team for all their efforts in making our special event run so smoothly! They gave us the freedom to focus on our union and our loved ones, which was what we found most meaningful.
