Another thing I would like to note is that the venue manager, Nicole, is one of the "good guys" in the wedding industry. She doesn't want clients or vendors to feel alone in the process/on the big day, and truly went above and beyond in a way I don't see all venues do. Anyone who gets married here is in excellent hands.

Our daughter's wedding was held at the Old School House. The event was fabulous and the wedding…read morewas absolutely stunning. Few areas of concern was the landscaping and the grass only. The garden had taken a setback and the gardens were not properly cleaned up prior to the rehearsal and also the day of the wedding. The grass did not appear to have been freshly cut, no fresh mulch and there were some dead bushes near the areas where guests would be attending near the front of the building. The building was wedding ready and everything was functioning well! The day of manager was great to work with and all vendors appeared to know the venue well. The guests also loved the old feel of the building and it gave such a nostalgic and magical theme. Our family will always remember this day at the Old Schoolhouse with such fondness!

I coordinated a wedding at Ferrier Creek Nursery last Saturday for the first time, and I'm happy to…read moresay the venue exceeded my expectations. I remember speaking with them at a large Portland Bridal Show last year, and I was impressed with their politeness and down-to-earth feel. I like the fact that they allow you to bring in a caterer of your choice. This wedding had beer and wine, which the bride/groom were able to bring in themselves. The ceremony was outside on the side lawn, with dinner on the main lawn, and reception/dancing in the barn. The grass was green, and all of the landscaping was well maintained, creating a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and dinner. The barn has an undercover area in the front, which is handy for a backup plan due to less than preferable weather. The barn has a smaller side, good for cake cutting, bar, guest book, or gift table. The main side of the barn is great for dancing. The upstairs area of the barn gives a great perspective for photos, bouquet toss/garter toss, or extra space for tables. There is a back walkway that is great for storage, or for a photobooth area. I liked that we could come in as early as 9am to setup, and we weren't required to be cleaned and out until midnight. This gave the bride, groom, and their family plenty of time to truly relax and enjoy the day. The venue provides plenty of parking, plenty of space, and exclusive use of the venue site for the majority of the day at a reasonable cost. They were very hospitable, and provided as much help as they could to make the day run smooth...even if it was outside of their contracted responsibilities. The only two things that I noticed were not perfect were: The lawn for the ceremony was being watered the day of to keep the grass green, however it made the grass slightly soggy, but not unmanageable, and if they incorporated outside lighting into their landscaping, it would not only enhance the beauty of the already wonderful scenery, but provide useful extra lighting when tearing down outside on the lawn after dark. On a positive note, they did provide one large industrial light that provided enough light to get the job done when breaking down the dinner setup on the lawn. Thank you Ferrier Creek for all of your help!

We got to visit with the sheep that were trimming the grass in the vineyard, and enjoyed watching the sun go down from the patio. The Chemeketa wine studies center has three programs - managing vineyards, making wine, and hospitality. All three come together beautifully with views of next year's crop, bottles full of previous year's crops, and food prepared and served with aplomb. Check their web site for hours, and for special events. In the past, we've attended alumni events where we got to meet with winemakers who have moved their skills to local businesses.
