Gorge Crest Vineyards was the perfect place to get married. My husband and I looked at over 12 venues near the Hood River area because we knew we wanted to get married in the Columbia Gorge. Nothing competes with the views and amenities that Gorge Crest has to offer. I also really appreciated that Jena & her husband offered discounted pricing for May during “off season”. The venue is romantic with his and hers separate suites above the reception barn, a huge fireplace, a winding wooded path leading to a breathtaking wisteria trellis down by the horseshoe pits, and of course Mt. Hood front and center for the ceremony. Jena is very easy to work with, answers emails in a timely fashion and allowed us to bring our own arbor for the ceremony. Some other perks include ample parking (but a shuttle bus is the way to go!), a nice kitchen for catering staff, two lovely indoor bathrooms and an outside bar with covered patio. I would not have done anything differently with our wedding!
