Heceta Lighthouse B&B exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Their communication was always prompt, kind, and the staff went above and beyond to make our day special. The historic property is absolutely lovely and it felt iconically “Oregon”. The staff and their preferred vendors made everything seamless - they were warm, generous, and hospitable, and we felt so creatively aligned with them. They took great care of us and our guests before the event, throughout our wedding day and through the next day (as we stayed the night with our wedding party in the B&B). We could not have asked for a better venue and team to celebrate our marriage. We highly recommend Heceta Lighthouse B&B to any couple looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience.
