We got married at Gardens in the Gorge last month, & it was a dream! The Green was gorgeous even in early Spring, and the views from Windsor Hall are amazing. Several people have told me it was one of the prettiest venues they’ve been to and I agree! The scenery made for beautiful photos. The staff was super helpful in preparing for our day and offered a ton of decor for us to use. I’m very happy we chose Gardens in the Gorge!
