Beautiful venue, amazing staff. Responsive and reliable!
I felt that the venue price was very reasonable and worth it! My day was absolutely amazing, and my whole family kept saying how gorgeous the property and location is.
The Water Oasis was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. With lots of options for ceremony space we were able to make the space our own for the day and have the reception under the pavilion. Everything there is naturally beautiful so it was easy to decorate and didn’t need much. With tables and chairs included they set up based on what we wanted and had it ready by 10am day of! The preferred vendor list they give out after you book saved my life, I found all of my vendors that way! They were awesome in letting you come to the venue at any point which was helpful for me as a visual person. The bridal/groom suites were great for getting ready so everyone was at the venue well before the wedding time. Overall it was a great experience with The Water Oasis.
My husband and I are OVER THE MOON that we chose The Water Oasis as out venue for the most special day! We have received do many compliments about the venue. Our guests and family were so impressed with the venue and how gorgeous it was! I would choose The Water Oasis over and over again if I had to. The staff were so wonderful. They do what is needed and are there promptly when needed. Otherwise they stay out of the way while you enjoy your special day. The venue provides so many different landscapes and sceneries for the best experience. It is well maintained and absolutely gorgeous in every way. We even had our wedding in a tine of year where not all of the flowers have bloomed and it is still phenomenal. There is so much to enjoy whether you want to be under the fantastic heaters in the covered pavilion or you want to be on the sand by the water to enjoy the fountain. There is so much opportunity for gorgeous pictures in different areas of the venue. Just take your pick whether you want trees, flowers, water, mountains, sunset, sunrise, the fireplace, and much more, for beautiful back drops to capture memorable photos! There was a place with seating, mirrors, and a bathroom for women to get ready, as well as a place for the males. It is all furnished so nicely and is even great for the getting ready photos! Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone and encourage those who are looking for a venue, to consider taking a walk around The Water Oasis!! I wouldn't change a thing about the venue. It served every bit of purpose that we needed/wanted for the wedding! Thank you so much to staff as well as the owners for providing such a dreamy experience!!

Any questions?
I just had my wedding at The Water Oasis and it was beautiful! The staff was very helpful and professional. Communication was great and I really appreciated having all the tables and chairs set up for us the morning of, as well as help with other vendors. It was a beautiful day, highly recommend!
The Water Oasis did excellent work to make sure that all our venue details were ironed out ahead of time. I loved that we didn't need to worry about renting tables and chairs, and really appreciated the extra time we had because they were set up beforehand. The venue is SO beautiful, and our guests could not stop talking about how lovely it was. I loved how there were so many different types of photos we could take, since the venue had such diverse backgrounds all over!

Cass & Autumn, thank you so much for choosing our venue for your wedding day! Love the photos you shared here with us and thank you for leaving this kind review. We are so happy you had an enjoyable experience from start to finish, and that yo...
ur guests enjoyed their time here as well!
The Water Oasis is gorgeous. The whole property is beautifully kept, the spaces are elegant, and it was the perfect setting for our special day. It was so nice to utilize different areas of the venue (pavilion, meadow, pond, etc.) and our guests really enjoyed being able to spread out over the property. The staff was very kind and helpful and made sure that everything was just the way we wanted it. I would get married here over and over again!
We had our winter wedding (January) at The Water Oasis, after more than a year of planning. It was very nice scheduling visits to the venue, and it's amazing how much they are still adding! Since I booked the venue, they have improved their pavilion building by adding walls and doors instead of roll-up walls, an additional slab of concrete connecting to the pavilion, and more twinkle lights. Working with the venue manager was good, although majority of the interactions were between them and my wedding planner. On the day of, we were left a little upset in the morning as we were told that the venue would be completely shoveled (there was an ice storm the week leading up to our wedding), but my dad and brother and the groomsmen ended up having to shovel and clear the paths. Additionally, the water went out the morning of so we were without water while getting ready, which was not great. However, other than those things, The Water Oasis was very open and transparent, easy to work with, and an incredibly beautiful venue. Even getting married in January just after an ice storm, it was incredible and we had a fantastic night.
Everyone at the Water Oasis was super helpful and knowledgable throughout the entire planning process! They made selecting a layout for the ceremony and reception a breeze!
We are still in the planning stages of my daughter's wedding. Renae at the Water Oasis has been so helpful to work with. I love their vendor list that they provide. We had no idea how we would figure out who to use, their list took all the guess work out of it.
The property itself is gorgeous. There are multiple places we can hold the ceremony and so many beautiful spots for pictures. If you are looking for a place to have your wedding I highly recommend this place.
We absolutely loved The Water Oasis for our wedding venue. The property has everything you could want for a wedding venue - bridal party suites, chairs/tables, 12 hour access, and multiple gorgeous back drops for photo opportunities. The venue manager and whole team was incredible helpful to answer our questions throughout the process and make sure our day ran smoothly. The venue itself has multiple spaces available for your ceremony/reception and a lot of versatility in the space. We couldn't recommend The Water Oasis enough and have the most wonderful day here!
The Water Oasis is a gorgeous venue and we are so glad that we chose it for our wedding. We were married in September and the property was spectacular. The shade offered by the pavilion during the ceremony was much appreciated by us and our guests and the main structure had fans that kept us cool throughout the reception. All of the different zones in the property allowed our guests to enjoy themselves while still offering the opportunity for my husband and I, and our families to have quiet moments throughout the day. The facilities to get ready were wonderful, and we were so thankful there was an air-conditioned space that we or some of our more elderly guests could retreat too as needed. The natural beauty of the property meant that we had very little we needed to contribute ourselves. Our Venue Coordinator, Renae was a wealth of experience and advice and helped us above and beyond her role. The only unfortunate aspect of this venue is that they are rather strict on when you have access to the property. This made setting up and tearing down the wedding rather stressful. Overall a wonderful experience, I highly recommend this venue.
My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Water Oasis and it was perfect. We rolled the dice having a March wedding and our day had snow in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon, and a little little rain in the evening. The pavilion kept our guests warm and the ambiance of the fireplace with the candles was stunning with plenty of natural light and a beautiful view of the surrounding gardens as well as having plenty of room for our guests to eat, drink, and dance the night away. The staff was helpful and attentive throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. The venue also offers a variety of amenities, including a bridal suite and groom's room, which made getting ready on the day of the wedding a breeze. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend the Water Oasis to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding venue in Oregon.
The Water Oasis was such an amazing venue! The day after we got engaged, my now-husband and I visited Water Oasis and immediately fell in love. We didn’t even visit another venue, but I certainly don’t regret that. Our guests couldn’t stop gushing about how beautiful it was - the view from the pavilion out into the field being a favorite for many. I absolutely loved having everything we needed in one spot. There were rooms to get ready in, so many beautiful spots for pictures, the grand arbor where we had our ceremony, the pavilion for our reception, AND they provided and set up all the tables and chairs. Not to mention that the venue itself is so beautiful that we barely had to decorate. We also booked almost all of our other vendors from their preferred list. It was so nice to have that to go off of since we had no idea where to start looking. We truly could not have picked a better location for our special day.
This venue was PERFECT! It was open and large so that we could design the space how we wanted to. The people we spoke to were cordial and prompt. I would recommend this location to any couple!
We originally booked The Water Oasis for our July 2020 wedding. When we had to postpone, they were so helpful and flexible in finding another date for 2021. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL, and there are so many areas for photos. Everyone we worked with along the way was very communicative and supportive during such a crazy time with changing regulations. All of our guests loved the venue and the views from the pavilion out into the meadow. I’m so happy we postponed in order to be able to use our original venue, we have zero regrets!
The Water Oasis was a wonderful venue for our vow renewals! The grounds themselves are so picturesque and offer a variety of backdrops for different parts of your event all at one location. Additionally, all of their amenities including the bridal suites, guest bathrooms, kitchen for catering and ample parking for vendors were available for your convenience. They were flexible with COVID complications and the rescheduling of the event itself along with our rehearsal dinner and on the day of, made sure everything was set up as discussed and that the evening ran smoothly. Communication was a little spotty at the beginning of the process trying to set up walk throughs and ask questions about the venue but completely understandable during the time, considering the uncertainties during COVID times...
Obviously, the location is amazing! Its HUGE and has an incredible diversity of locations to take photos and hangout: I mean there was a beach?! mini lake, waterfall, gazebo, wheat field, awesome pavilion, cute his/hers getting ready areas and ceremony arbor!! Like what?! amazing! Great indoor / outdoor space which made it so we didn't have to worry if it was too hot, rainy - we knew we had an amazing looking option and set up regardless. The people were nice and easy to work with, our supervisor for the day even helped us cut and serve our cake! They definitely took covid seriously if you wanted them to and made sure the bathrooms were frequently cleaned and everyone was safe. If you want an outdoor wedding, this place is it!
Where do I start? Was it the beautiful scenery, the elaborate pavilion, the gorgeous bridal/groom salons or the rolling golden fields surrounding the venue? If you are looking for that fairy tale scenery this might just be it. They offer some of the kindest professionals as part of their preferred vendors and boy did they not disappoint. We had the privilege of working with our Event Coordinator, if that’s what you want to call her, I prefer Superwomen. Ranjita, or Jita, was the most down to earth, sweetest, wizard and nothing was ever “no we can’t do that” but more like “let’s get this done”. She suggested things I didn’t even know we could do which made the experience less stressful and more like the wedding of my dreams. She went the extra mile and I am so grateful for her. I would absolutely recommend having your wedding here and using Jita as your Event Coordinator.
Covid pushed our wedding back a year, and they helped us every step of the way. When our big day finally arrived, they were just as helpful. I was so stressed on every detail but they made the day run so smoothly. Even helped me find last minute Hair&Makeup and a baker for my cake when my original places were unavailable after Covid issues. Love love love The Water Oasis ❤️

The Water Oasis team was an incredible group to work with. Not only is their property absolutely GORGEOUS, but each and every member of their team that we worked with was wonderful!
My husband and I were meant to get married at The Water Oasis in April 2020. We were 4 weeks out when the COVID shutdowns went into place and we had to postpone. Renae, Ranjita, and Rhiannon put so much effort into ensuring we received clear communication through all the changes - along with compassion for the difficult decisions that needed to be made. It made such a difference to know our venue was working with us through this challenging time and cared about the impact it was having on us.
Even before the COVID craziness hit - we always felt like The Water Oasis team cared about our wedding. Even though they host so many events, they never forgot that this was such an exciting and meaningful event to us.
The process they have in place for their weddings - the care for the grounds, assigning a venue manager to each event, planning ahead to ensure the day-of runs smoothly… it all was so easy, which made it fun, to plan our wedding.
In the end, we were unable to host our wedding at The Water Oasis (due to personal limitations around COVID) but we did work with The Water Oasis team for nearly 15 months - the last 5 of which were through a very challenging period - and our great experience with them during that time certainly deserves a review. The team they have at The Water Oasis is a wonderful group of people who work with you and care about your event just as much as you do.
My husband and I spent weeks searching for a venue and kept being disappointed by the months it took for venues to respond and the strict rules and regulations they set. I stumbled upon The Water Oasis and am SO happy that we did. They assign you an event manager that helps make sure that your day goes perfectly. We only had two months to plan and Renae Heineck was an ANGEL and helped us make sure we didn't miss anything. They had stations set up for sanitizing and were very compliant with COVID rules. The property is stunning and has a ton of places for epic wedding portraits!
The Water Oasis was the most beautiful location. Our guests could not believe how incredible this place was. The pavilion is a gorgeous location for reception, ceremony, and dancing. The arbor is a beautiful ceremony location. The landscaping and ponds are great for pictures. And the staff is so friendly and helpful. They had awesome constant communication, especially during this time of COVID-19. My husband and I would highly recommend them.
I reached out to this venue asking about availability for July and just general info about what they offer. They sent me a detailed PDF to read over but then a few days later out of no where I got an email stating that they feel like they wouldn’t be a good fit. A good fit for what? I haven’t mentioned anything about my wedding wants yet. I feel like this is just rude. They haven’t spoke to me or anything and just decide to tell me they can’t have me. I want to know WHY.
Response from the Vendor on 10/16/2019
Kayla,
We reached out privately through the messenger to let you know that we are working with the knot on why these messages were sent out yesterday. Between 9 am and 10 am our account was hacked and automated messages were sent out to over 3...
0 clients who inquired about price and date availability. We would NEVER send out a message like that. We are happy and proud to welcome EVERYONE at our venue. While we are glad we caught it quickly, we realize it caused chaos and hurt feelings to those effected. We have been working diligently on reaching out to everyone effected - including an in depth tech investigation on why it happened in the first place. We please ask that you remove this review, as it is not a reflection of our values or ethics at The Water Oasis. Thank you.
I was a guest at a wedding there in August. The venue is beautiful. The wedding coordinator Val made sure all the guests were comfortable and all details were taken care of.what a great venue.
My husband and I got married at The Water Oasis in July 2018 with a guest count of about 260 people. We did a lot of venue tours in the Portland and surrounding areas, but The Water Oasis was one of the most beautiful venues. The owner and venue managers were so helpful and accommodating. After our first visit, we knew as soon as we left that the venue was the right decision. The venue feels like 5 locations in one with a beautiful tree/water fall feature, sanded beach area, big country field, beautiful white arbor area, and a brand new structure. The only thing we wish could have been different about our big day, was more shade. The new structure is big and beautiful, but when the sun is setting it is so bright and hot. Our guests did not even want to sit on the left side tables because they were in direct sunlight and sweating. If they added some pull down side walls of some sort, then it would be perfect! We also felt like the wedding ended so early (10pm) compared to other weddings. I think the curfew is based on whichever county you get married in, but we felt like it was way too early.
Otherwise, this venue is really an amazing place. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue or really any other event!
Beautiful venue with many different settings on one location. Staff were very nice to work with and really there to help you. Very accommodating and willing to try things outside the box.
The venue is perfect and the staff is amazing. Valerie was so easy to work with. It was everything we hoped for.
It was the first and the last venue we looked at. The scenery was spectacular and the new pavilion is amazing. We are so lucky that we got to have our wedding there.
We had our wedding here a few weeks ago and I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue. We had so many comments on how beautiful the space was. It has every setting you could ever want for your wedding photos. Throughout the planning process, however, there were some communication issues. Many times I would e-mail them and not get a response back, but several weeks later I would get an e-mail reminding me to take care of something I already took care of. It took several conversations for some of my updates and plans to actually be written down and understood. I felt a sense of disorganization and that they were not paying attention to detail. We had our rehearsal scheduled several months out. About a week before the rehearsal, we were confirmed for a different time than we had originally agreed upon. We had to rearrange our rehearsal dinner and ask our wedding party to try and get there earlier on a Thursday evening. It worked out, but was stressful. However, our wedding day was an unpredictable day of Oregon weather. The Water Oasis really took care of us in this regard. They provided complimentary umbrella rentals, which made for some really cute pictures, and they gave us a significant discount on heater rentals. Deni also went above and beyond by securing and personally picking up a tent for our live musician we had playing our ceremony. Overall, it was a wonderful day. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this venue for anyone planning their wedding.
I can't express what a great experience we had working with Water Oasis and the owner/manager Rhiannon. She was so accommodating and sweet. The space itself is beautiful, and there is so much variety of different areas and scenery, meaning there is no such thing as a cookie cutter wedding there. It's well equipped for weddings, with an included tent (already wrapped in white draping with beautiful iron chandeliers inside and optional rain walls), plenty of electrical outlets throughout the property, nice bathroom facilities for the guests, plenty of parking, a separate vendor area, and great bride and groom suites. Plus, they don't nickel and dime you. All the tables and chairs are included and they will set up the seating for you according to your specifications.
Planning our wedding was stressful, but once we booked The Water Oasis as our venue, that part was such a breeze. I would 100% recommend this venue to everyone.
It was clear on our first visit to the water oasis that it was the place. Stunningly beautiful everywhere. My wedding was outdoor with cocktail hour on the beach and reception back in the tent. Deni helped us from the water oasis and was extremely responsive, helpful and provided great advice. One thing I wished I would have known or been told is that the beach area is not ideal for walking on. Ladies in heels cannot go on the sand without falling and tripping. It did not work as planned for happy hour. Not their fault but I can’t be the first bride with that problem. Hopefully all brides in the future will receive that information for planning purposes. Otherwise everything was absolutely perfect! They have everything needed, the packet you receive once booking the venue is GOLD. Diagrams, pictures, measurements all of the venue, planning guide, vendor recommendations, and more were so incredibly helpful for planning. I couldn’t have imagined any other venue for our big day. Thank you!!
Beautiful venue. The property managers were nice and accommodating. I like that the table and chairs were included in the rentals.
We got married here a couple weeks ago and couldn't have picked a better venue! The Water Oasis has so much to offer with it's different locations on the property that you can use for the ceremony. The meadow is where we chose to have ours and it was perfect! We received so many complements on the venue and how gorgeous it is at our wedding and we still do!
Rhiannon (the owner) was an absolute dream to work with, she was there for us through the whole process.
I can't rave about this beautiful place enough! Definitely check it out!
Our flower arrangments and bouquets were beautiful and elegant
I couldn't of dreamed of a more perfect wedding! The venue is gorgeous with such a variety of scenery. The on-site salon to get ready in brought such ease to the day. I would highly recommend this venue! Don't forget to check out their pond, cabana and beach.
