About this venue

Meet The Herondale—a reimagined Astoria Crest where coastal calm, wellness, and celebration come together. Set high on The Bluff overlooking the Columbia River, our outdoor spaces frame ceremonies and receptions with cinematic sunset views. Between events, guests can reset with wellness-forward touches like a dedicated meditation space and spa services—bringing a sense of balance to the entire weekend. Astoria’s story runs deep—home to the nation’s oldest U.S. settlement west of the Rockies and a landmark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition—and The Herondale is designed to honor that sense of discovery with a fresh, intentional guest experience. Bring your favorite caterer, your decorator, and your vision. No preset packages—just a beautiful canvas. The property reinvention will be complete early Spring . . . giving you the chance to be one of the first to say “I do” here.

    Staying at the Herondale Hotel for a wedding was an absolute treat—I honestly didn’t want to leave. From the moment we arrived, the property felt special, but the view from our room overlooking the bluffs was truly breathtaking. Waking up to that scenery was unforgettable. The hotel has such a welcoming, relaxed elegance, and you can really feel the care put into the guest experience. I’m especially excited to see what’s ahead with the upcoming changes—if this stay was any indication, the best is yet to come. I will absolutely be back.

    We were absolutely delighted with our experience this property. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was excited and eager to help make our special day everything we dreamed it would be. Their communication was warm and attentive, and they went out of their way to ensure all of our needs were met. The Bluff is a truly breathtaking venue, with a calming atmosphere and mesmerizing views of the Columbia River. We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it, and can't wait for the renovations to be complete so we can return for a vow renewal. The staff's professionalism and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience for us and our guests made our stay perfect in every way.
