The nearest airport to Hood River is PDX in Portland. From there it is about an hour drive to downtown Hood River through the scenic Columbia River Gorge. We recommend renting a car, but public transit is also available via the Columbia Gorge Express (~2 hour ride). The venue is located in a residential neighborhood close to downtown Hood River.
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 on Saturday 5/17, so please plan your arrival time accordingly! For those arriving early, we will have a little get together at a brewery in town Friday night. However, it is absolutely not necessary to alter travel plans in order to attend. We are grateful to the many people traveling long distances to be with us, and hope you find time to explore Oregon a little while you’re here.
Hood River has a range of hotel and rental options at various price points. We encourage you to find lodging that works best for you, but below are a couple of hotels that we recommend.
Hotel on the Columbia River, just outside of downtown. Nice restaurant on site with river views. 8 minute drive from venue.
Fancier hotel option (but with good deals sometimes available), also on the Columbia River. Beautiful, historic rooms and great onsite restaurant and spa. Also an 8 minute drive from the venue.
