“My husband and I were thrilled with our choice to have our wedding at the Victorian Vineyard Venue. Scott was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, quickly answering our endless stream of questions and requests with patience and care. The venue itself provided a beautiful, elegant backdrop for our special day that perfectly encapsulated our 'Garden of Eden' vision. The lush gardens and plentiful floral arrangements made for stunning photos and delighted our guests. Scott and his wife went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well taken care of. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and personal touches that made our wedding feel magical. Highly highly recommend their venue, their wine, and their atmosphere!”

Wind Mountain Ranch 

5.0

Stevenson, WA
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Wind Mountain is located along the Cascade Volcanic Arc, formed by basalt flows between 5 - 7 million years ago. Though relatively young by mountain standards, it has been weathered by wind and water since a time only the earth remembers. Humans are estimated to have settled in the area around 10,000 years ago, after the Missoula Floods carved rivers into the valley. Over time, these first people became the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, Stl’pulmsh (Cowlitz), Yakama, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Siletz, Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla. The land north of the Columbia River Gorge is their ancestral home. Wind Mountain carries significance to the Native Americans as a Spirit Quest destination and is home to a sacred archaeological site near the summit.

“We had the most dreamy, luxurious, beautiful Gorge wedding at Wind Mountain Ranch September 2024. Being local to the Gorge, I was familiar with some of the WMR/Griffin House team and staff and absolutely loved working with them. Details are not missed and Annie was extremely helpful in helping with some of the details I was unsure of planning on my end as a bride and more, and making sure everything looked perfect on my end and theirs day of. My friends and family are still saying this is the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended. We stayed in the 7 cabins with friends and family the night before and were on site all day before the wedding which was relaxing and dreamy. Having a space for the bridal party to get ready but also spread out as needed in the cabins was perfect. We made breakfast in the cabin kitchens and had hair and makeup done on site. Annie, Marlowe, Courtney and the rest of their team are professionals and made my dreams come true. Having our guests brought in by a shuttle was required as with most Gorge weddings venues, and it was a fun way for our guests to be able to relax and have a safe ride to and from the venue. A dreamy wedding weekend I'll cherish forever and am so grateful for the WMR team for bringing this dream to reality. Can't wait to return for a weekend cabin stay sometime this year.”

“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.”

“Gorges Beer Co. was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Travis and Kelly were incredibly helpful, timely, and cooperative in planning every detail of our special day. The stunning backdrop of the brewery and gorgeous patio provided the most beautiful setting we could have imagined. Travis even gave us the idea to get married at Government Cove, and it truly was the most breathtaking location. Our guests raved about the delicious food and our signature cocktail was a huge hit. Travis and Kelly really made Andy and I's wedding the wedding of our dreams - it was everything we could have ever asked for. We planned this wedding site unseen and I could not have been more impressed. Gorges Beer Co. is an absolute gem and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding venue.”

You'll find the perfect balance of practicality and atmosphere no matter what style speaks to you.

How Much Do Washington Wedding Venues Typically Cost?

Wedding venues in Washington average $6,399 which represents about 14% of your total wedding budget. That's actually below the national average of $6,500-$12,000 or 25% of total costs so you're getting better value here than in many other states. Most couples pay between $5,800 on the lower end to around $7,000 for premium locations depending on what features and services you need.

For different guest counts you can expect these approximate total wedding budgets: Small weddings with 50 guests run about $20,250 while 100-guest celebrations average $33,177. Medium-sized weddings with 150 guests typically cost $45,331 and 200-guest events reach approximately $56,197. Larger celebrations with 250 guests average $67,063 while truly big weddings with 300 guests generally cost around $77,929. These numbers help you plan realistically based on your guest list size.

What Seasonal Factors Should Influence Your Washington Venue Choice?

August is peak inquiry time for Washington weddings and books up fast. Western Washington venues typically incorporate elegant indoor spaces with seamless transitions to outdoor areas giving you weather flexibility. Eastern Washington benefits from significantly more sunshine days between May-September making outdoor ceremonies more reliable. Mountain venues require snow contingency planning from November-April. The season you choose will dramatically impact both the look and logistics of your celebration.

How Can Washington Venues Balance Beauty with Practical Needs?

When selecting your Washington venue consider both its Instagram-worthy appeal and how it handles the nuts and bolts of your big day.

The ideal venue combines Washington's natural beauty with practical amenities that support your vision without blowing your budget. You deserve both stunning backdrops and smooth logistics for a truly magical yet stress-free celebration.
