About this venue

The Historic Balch Hotel is a 20-room inn built for gathering, set in the small town of Dufur, OR, where the Columbia Gorge meets the High Desert. With expansive grounds and vintage character, it offers couples the rare opportunity to bring their people together in one place and let the celebration unfold over time. Surrounded by rolling lawns, pine and fir trees, romantic gardens, a serene pond and waterfall, and wide-open views, the property feels both spacious and quietly inviting. With over 300 days of sunshine each year, outdoor celebrations here are as reliable as they are beautiful. Weddings at The Balch range from intimate ceremonies to full weekend gatherings, with options for exclusive use of the hotel so couples & their guests can share the experience together. The Balch is located 13 miles S of The Dalles, about 1 hour and 40 minutes E of Portland. If you’re looking for a wedding that feels warm, unhurried, and truly shared, The Balch may be the right place to gather.
