Jillian & Guy

We hosted the wedding of our dreams at Gorge Crest, and I wish we could have a reunion there every summer. Gorge Crest was the perfect backdrop to make the happiest memories of our life. Our vision for our wedding was to have a dinner in the field style event filled with laughter, great food, storytelling, and breathtaking views of Mt. Hood. Our guests keep writing to tell us how much the experience meant to them, and I want to personally thank Jena Von Flotow and everyone at Gorge Crest for truly creating magic! From the pergola, to the lawn, to the bridal suite, and the forested secret spots, we couldn't have asked for a dreamier backdrop!

I will forever be grateful to Jena and Unveiled Events for creating magic on our wedding day. Jena is creative, thoughtful, organized, and really lovely to hang out with! She was a voice of sanity and had such a calming presence throughout the planning process! I has such a blast discussing vendors, day-of creative elements, and ways to make our guests feel welcome and taken-care of throughout the wedding. Jena was the perfect thought-partner! I was planning my wedding remotely from Boston and was grateful to lean on Jena and her Columbia River Gorge expertise. We were beyond delighted with every vendor she recommended.

In addition to the impeccable day of coordination by Jena and her team, it was the months of planning support leading up to the event that allowed me to focus on the emotional wedding to-dos because I knew Jena had checked (and triple-checked) every logistical detail. Jena even performed a small miracle and somehow got the Hood River Bridge open for us which saved our shuttle a lengthy detour and to make it time for the ceremony! Jena, thank you for helping us create memories we will cherish our entire life!
