ANNA & MARK

Gorge Crest is THE BEST place to elope and have a full wedding party! After COVID-19 through a wrench in our original wedding plans, we decided to elope in the Pacific Northwest. We looked at multiple options (including a few in the Hood River / Mt Hood area) and decided on Gorge Crest for the following reasons: 1) First, the views are magical. 2) The property is versatile. And it's got a great vibe. We had dinner for two after our ceremony. 3) When you see Gorge Crest you can envision the party that it can create. It has a string-lit dance floor, hammocks, lights, smaller spaces for people to break off, wild flowers, fields, vineyards, and a flat grassy space. While it was just me and my husband for our elopement, I have no doubt that it would be a special place to bring friends and family together to celebrate. My husband and I had an extraordinary experience and are so grateful that we chose Gorge Crest.
