Located just outside of Salem, Silver Falls State Park is one of Oregon’s most beautiful natural areas. It’s best known for its Trail of Ten Falls, where you can walk behind several stunning waterfalls. With lush forests and scenic views, it’s a peaceful and unforgettable spot—perfect for a special day like ours.
Right in downtown Salem, Riverfront Park sits along the Willamette River and features walking trails, open green space, a hand-carved carousel, and beautiful views of both the Peter Courtney Minto Island Bridge and the Union Street Railroad Bridge—perfect for a scenic stroll during your visit.
If you’re looking for a great spot to grab coffee or brunch during wedding weekend, we highly recommend Isaac’s Downtown. It’s bright, local, and full of heart — the perfect place to unwind and enjoy downtown Salem before (or after!) the festivities.
One of our favorite coffee shops in town! If you have a sweet tooth, Jeremiah's drink is the Caramelized Snickerdoodle, while Heidi loves their matcha.
If you’re looking for a great dinner or drink spot while you’re in town, we recommend Ritter’s Housemade Foods. It’s warm, local, and delicious — a place we love to unwind together. Whether you grab a cocktail, a pizza, or just enjoy the downtown vibe, it’s the perfect taste of Salem.
