Vernonia Springs is THE place! We got married in October 2020 and fortunately had planned on a wedding ceremony with less than 30 people pre-COVID. I had several questions about everything and was constantly emailing Jeff to ask about all the ins and outs. He wrote back quickly, consistently, and professionally. We visited twice beforehand and Jeff was helpful and friendly. He was easy to work with having food trucks come in and pre-approved day before with a couple drop offs. When the big day arrived, the venue was beautiful, had safety protocols in place and we heard several compliments on the atmosphere. The venue is quiet and tucked away with limited cell service, so at the end of the night, when everyone sat around the fire place, it was relaxing and comfortable. My husband and I stayed in one of the yurts and the bed was so comfy! Other guests said they enjoyed their bed and setup as well. Honestly, I have only have great things to say about Vernonia Springs!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Gorges Beer Co., and can't say enough great things about the entire experience. From the breathtaking venue (which so many of our guests commented about) to the incredible team, everything was flawless. Travis, Kelli and the rest of the Gorges team were simply amazing—organized, prompt, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. They took so much stress off our shoulders by handling so many details that are typically overwhelming. With everything from chairs and napkins to cleanup and drinks included in the booking, it made planning so much easier and allowed us to truly enjoy our day. The personal touches meant so much to us—like having our names displayed above the bar and menu options that felt truly “us.” The large selection of beer and the fun yard games added a relaxed, joyful vibe that fit our wedding perfectly. And the after party? Absolutely fantastic! The staff brought such great energy and helped keep the celebration going strong. We highly recommend Gorges Beer Co. to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a professional, passionate team that genuinely cares. Our day was perfect, and we’re so grateful to Travis, Kelli, and everyone at Gorges Beer Co. for making it so special.
