The Wedding Website of Derek Edwards and Marnie Brown
Hood River is a beautiful small town in Oregon located at the panoramic crossroads of the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Mountain Range. It's considered the wind surfing capital of the world, and it's located approximately 1 hour from Portland. As Hood River is a tourist town in the summer, we recommend guests book travel ASAP. For more affordable lodging options, guests are encouraged to check out While Salmon (WA), The Dalles (OR), and Troutdale (OR), which are approximately 5 miles, 20 miles, and 45 miles from Hood River, respectively. THERE IS NO PARKING AT THE VENUE. Guests will park their car at Covenant Hood River, which is approximately 2 miles from the venue. Information regarding the shuttle, which will take guests from Covenant Hood River to the venue, will be provided at a later date. Please keep checking back for more information. If guests need assistance finding a place to stay, please reach out to Derek or Marnie.
