The Trout Lake Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly easy-going and accommodating, taking the time to understand our vision and provide detailed guidance every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely charming and picturesque, with a well-loved, affordable feel that was exactly what we were looking for. They were open to our idea of having our dinner in the back patio space, and it came to life beautifully. The team also went above and beyond to create a custom food menu for our dinner and sourced a very specific wine we wanted. The flower arrangements were an fairytale. And it was so fun to have a live band! Our wedding day at the Trout Lake Hall was truly perfect, and we wouldn't change a thing!

Possibly the best decision we made during our wedding process (aside from getting married), was choosing this venue. We were able to rent and use 3 locations throughout the weekend (Pavilion, House 3, and Thunder Island), and each was accommodating and gorgeous in its own way. The ease of having everything from welcome night, rehearsal, ceremony, and reception in the same spot made our logistics 10 times easier. Lots of wedding venues are gorgeous, but what sets the Locks apart is their this place is that they are truly flexible and hospitable. They will actually listen and try to make anything work for you! We had 200 guests so we really pushed the capacity, and the team worked flawlessly to make sure we got what we needed. Jeanetta (the manager) offered so much helpful perspective, was easy to reach and communicate with, and went the extra mile, even helping us put up and take down lights, bringing her personal tools. It felt like showing off the PNW to our east coast and Midwest guests. They were blown away, and so were we. If you want a low-stress, high-flexibility, and completely stunning outdoor wedding, this is the spot. Hidden gem for sure.

We are wedding photographers who recently got the chance to shoot at this beautiful venue. When I got to talking with the staff, I was shocked they’d only been open for a little more than a year. It was beautiful and the day flowed seamlessly, the experience made it feel like they’ve been doing this for 10 years. The highlights for us were the beautiful landscaping, tree deck, patio, and indoor space, and the people. Everything was close together (which can be a huge bonus for wedding logistics), and there was some really great areas for group photos. This wedding was in October, so it got kind of chilly and the giant campfire was a huge hit. If you’re looking for a woodsy venue with some really awesome owners, Rocky Hill is it!

The best location ever! Beautiful venue. I think I knew it was the one the first time I visited and we looked at 3 other venues. EVERYTHING went as smooth on the wedding day. The ceremony (which is the most important to me) and everything else went the way I wanted it to so I was very happy about that. I thought it was perfect! THANK YOU especially to our Coordinator, Noel. She was just a delight to work with! Anyone would be so lucky to have you as their coordinator. We just felt at ease with you. I will definitely recommend you guys for anyone planning their weddings or other events. You are just simply the best! Their in-house vendors are fantastic to work with as well. Everyone, from Noel to their vendors all really listened to my vision of the wedding and made it all happen

I cannot recommend Redland Farms enough! My high school sweetheart and I got married there and it was THE best experience. Every detail of the property is so high end and elevated. They made all my dreams come true! The staff was incredible, and the property is truly a slice of heaven. We loved getting married under the beautiful oak tree! The white barn was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos! The bridal suite was the perfect space for me and all my girls to get ready. The fire pits were perfect in setting the romantic vibe! They have twinkle lights hanging everywhere which made it feel so special. The farm will always hold a special place in my heart and we enjoy going back at Christmas time when they open for Christmas trees and reminiscing on our special day there. 10/10 would recommend to any couple!

My partner and I looked at a couple of wedding venues in the first stages of planning, and once we visited the Aerie we knew immediately it was the right fit. We rented The Cave - their smaller outdoor venue - and it fit our vision for the day perfectly. It felt rustic and secluded without having to drive an hour outside of Portland, and it was simply gorgeous. Natasha who we worked with for the year in the lead up was phenomenal - we felt listened to and taken care of with her. We're so happy to have had our special day at the Aerie!!
