We had our wedding here this past weekend and it was more amazing and beautiful than we ever imagined. We were looking for a venue that would be okay with us choosing the catering, and also definitely wanted BYOB to save on costs. Karen was extremely accommodating and excited from the very beginning! She was so easy to work with throughout the process and was super easy going and flexible. There were no hidden costs or unreasonable restrictions. Also having access to the venue on Friday to drop off all our stuff was a huge help! Our wedding was complicated, as we were blending Indian traditions with traditional wedding customs which involved a lot of planning and coordination, and everything went off without a hitch. When I arrived at the venue on the day of the wedding, everything looked more magical and perfect than we ever imagined. It was the best day of our lives and our guest could not stop commenting on how beautiful it was! The farm requires you to rent all your own tables, chairs, decor, etc - so be prepared to do some planning! We had a partial wedding planner - which was the best decision we made throughout the process - It would have been very stressful to make sure the wedding day went smoothly without some outside help. Clackamas River Farm was outstanding, from our first meeting to the end of the wedding - the day was perfection. Thank you Karen!!! read more

We could not have been happier to get married at Clackamas River Farm. Immediately upon driving down the driveway when we first visited the venue, we knew it was the spot. Karen and Michael put so much heart and hard work into creating an idyllic and stunning setting. The venue is yours all weekend, which allowed us to take our time setting things up. The flowers and string lights against the backdrop of greenery makes for an easy layout with no extra decor needed! They were easy to work with throughout the whole planning process, and I could not recommend this gorgeous place enough. read more

We had our wedding here in July and we could not have been happier. My then-fiance and I had visited about a dozen venues, and after a few minutes at the Farm we knew it was the place for us. The setting is completely magical (seriously, words cannot express - go check it out), but what made it perfect was how warm, easy-going, and helpful our hosts, Karen, and Michael were. And their kids, Olivia and Lukas, were so sweet and helpful as well; they worked our wedding, along with the awesome farm worker, Diana, and one of Olivia's friends, and did a tremendous and professional job. Our guests were glowing with complements about the space, staff, and event! Prior to visiting the Farm, we went to several venues that had a ton of rules, regulations, structure and surcharges, which felt too restrictive to us. Karen and Michael were the opposite - they were extremely flexible and accommodating, and let us use anything around the farm (tables, candles, hay bales, etc) for our decor. Another huge benefit of this venue is that you get the space for the weekend. So you can set up early, and there is no stress about early drop-offs of supplies! If you want your wedding on a relaxed, serene, beautiful farm, that is home to a wonderful and loving family - this is your place! read more

Awesome place to get married! Come and look at this venue! Can't beat the price or the service!

I got married at Clackamas River Farm in August this summer. I knew this was my venue about 5 minutes into my first visit. I am a very creative person and I didn't want a cookie cutter venue, I was looking for a venue that would be beautiful but also allow me use my creativity. Clackamas River Farm was everything I was looking for, it was rustic, it was country, it was beautiful, it had good picture settings, it had history, and it had endless possibilities! Karen and Michael were a pleasure to work with. They worked hard to ensure the property was ready for the wedding. They were extremely flexible with allowing us to take supplies out the the farm and set things up before the big day. The house worked out perfect for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in. Karen was very flexible allowing us to show up at 9:00 the morning of the wedding. The groom and groomsmen were very comfortable in the carriage house. It also made for amazing pictures! My wedding turned out perfect and I would defiantly recommend the venue to other brides! read more

My daughter's wedding was here the first week of September. It was absolutely beautiful. Karen & Mike are amazing to work with. They worked with the other vendors on the weekend of the wedding to make sure things went smoothly. The wedding itself was wonderful. From the ceremony in the field, to the reception area, with the beautiful lights at night. The place has such a natural quiet beauty. But then you can transform it into any dream that you have for your outdoor wedding. I wasn't sure when my daughter first showed me. But as we were working on it, I could tell it was going to be perfect, and it was. Simply magical. read more

I was at the wedding of two of the recent reviews that gave the farm 1 star. I would have to disagree with most of what was commented on. Of course we didn't witness everything but the family that owned the farm seemed very kind & very hospitable. Many people commented positivity on the lovely farm and we agreed. It was a beautiful venue. I would have my wedding or an event here no problem. I would imagine you'd know what to expect when you sign up for an outdoor venue at someone's home. Expectations should be different than a public dance hall. I heard people comment that the "1 star bride" was a bridezilla so make note of that for anyone considering this venue or a farm in general. Remember it's a farm not a cathedral. And if you're obsessive, don't chose a farm. I just wanted to write this comment to show support for people that are making an effort in providing people with nicer event venues. As an independent business owner I know how tough it can be when one person tries to spoil it all. It's a tough business filled with many rules and difficult people. Keep going Clackamus River Farm! We need more beautiful places like yours. read more

Our daughter's wedding on August 9th, 2014 was beautiful. It was love at first sight when saw the setting. The property was gorgeous and provided great photo opportunities. It was hard to decide where to have the ceremony. We received many compliments on how beautiful the wedding and the venue was. The Victorian farm house, the enormous yard, the silo and the barn provided the perfect country setting. Karen and Michael were great to work with. They allowed us to start setting up before the day of the wedding, which saved an incredible amount of stress. Both of them were very accommodating and helpful. They wanted everything to be perfect and it was. We invited them to join us for the wedding and the reception. We were glad they did and enjoyed their company and thankful they shared their farm for our daughter's wedding. I would recommend The Clackamas River Farm to any future bride or for anyone who needs an unique place to have an event. read more

What else can we say, besides this venue is amazing! For a quite a few reasons! Karen and Michael are very friendly, helpful, and super accommodating! They were very quick to answer emails about any questions we had. We also got to take a few different tours before the wedding. The property itself is beautiful, and very spacious. Not to mention you can have you ceremony in quite a few different places, the amount of options are awesome! You cannot get this kind of service and time booking a wedding venue anywhere else. They only book one wedding per weekend so you get the whole place to yourself to set up the day before, celebrate the day of, and take down the day after. Could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. Thank you Clackamas River Farm! read more

Clackamas River Farm - This property sits on a huge amount of land. Made for some awesome photo ops! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Eagle Creek, Oregon

We got married at Clackamas River Farm in August of 2019. Karen and her husband Mike were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We looked at quite a few venues and as soon as we met Karen and walked around the farm we were sold. We were looking for an outdoor venue where we could bring our own food and beverages, use who we wanted for music, and have as a backdrop for the party of our lives -- and we got all that and more. All of the different areas provided at the farm photograph beautifully but more importantly make you feel at home and allow you to relax and appreciate the small moments. Karen and Mike stayed out of the way all day but were easy to find if there was anything we needed. Our day went off without a hitch, despite a sprinkling of rain (there is a covered portion of the barn where we moved our tables and comfortably sat 170 guests). I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for something beautiful, relaxed, and quintessentially Oregon. read more

Fisrt of all the property is amazing however the service and amenities are far from that, the "ground floor" of the home available for use is actually a smaller living room (wich was not private from the hosts family nor was it clean or the bathroom). The room for the groom and groomsmen was a room on the outside of the barn with rigged up lighting, no carpet or door. The bathrooms consist of 2 porta-pottys semi hidden by aqward fencing and placed right out in front of the barn off the driveway. Before the wedding they recently removed a good amount of flowers in the ceremony area leaving no option but to plant your own. For being a place that hosts multiple weddings the amount of setup and repairs they were doing the day before and the day of, were unacceptable sence balance was due 30 days prior. I do understand it is an active farm of some sort no livestock, nursrey or vegetables? But at the price they charge the area should be cleaned up quite a bit. We had to fight tooth and nail to get them to clean what they did. The grass was mowed only a few days before the wedding, however it was a good six inches high and mowed without a bag leaving grass clippings Everywhere leaving us no choice but to mow it ourselves. However with all the complaints aside with about 10 people and about twenty hours of setup we made it look amazing and the bride and groom were more than happy, but getting to that point sure was a challenge. In my opinion not worth the "bargain" price or the hassle, it is cheaper than most venues but there was a lot of prep and time is money. read more

I was a bride this summer at the venue. Here is my list of PRO's and CON's: Pro's: The House from the outside looks beautiful, I loved the big black walnut tree, and the land was semi flat for everything to look straight. After about $400 spent on flowers I would say the small area I got married at looked semi landscaped. CON's: 1) I have no idea who wrote the first review, but Karen was as best, difficult to work with. She seemed to have an opinion about everything and was very condescending when I didn't agree with her statements. Things as little as which direction I wanted to be facing with MY ceremony, the outhouses being covered by something so it was not the first things people saw when they pulled in. Which she provided wood paneling and then I had to bring my own curtains to hide the entire face of the area. This woman was not helpful at all. 2) When I signed the agreement she had said I could keep the party going as long as I turned DOWN the music after 10pm, which was fine with me. However, her husband at 10pm came and started unplugging all the lights that we spent hours on, putting up a giant silo (which I let her keep!) 3) Her foster son. while getting ready this 12-14 year old boy kept coming in and would just stand there, watching all of us girls. Finally after the 4th or 5th time my maid of honor told him it was inappropriate to be there and that he had to leave. He still came back and it was very uncomfortable. I would have expected more appropriate behavior from this family. 4) I had to specifically ask to use the restroom in her house because my dress is not going in a porta potty. She gave attitude, but agreed. 5) the place for the groomsmen to get ready was... a small dark area with no windows, light at the time, no door, no mirror, no anything. Literally it was just an area, not a room even. 6) 10 minutes before the wedding started she wanted us to move all of our stuff outside, when I snapped that it was 10 minutes until I was getting married, she said "then everything needs to be moved into the living room so my family can eat." 7) I had to FIGHT with her to move this chicken coop to cover an old broken down, or in her words "ready to fall apart at any moment" RV camper. It is right when you drive in and it had a sign saying "booty shaking" outside the door. She fought me for a week about moving it. She didn't, just parked a chicken coop partway in front of it...... 8) She had a huge stack of metal and junk sitting when you first pulled up and refused to move it. When I asked if I could have my friends move it and then move it back after the wedding she said, "I'm sure your friends are really fond of you." 10) I planted a bunch of flowers for my ceremony and bought soil to refill after so I could take my flowers home after and leave it in better condition then when we got there. She refused, saying it was in the contract, I went home and read that, no where in there did I sign for that. 11) After the wedding my family went to clean up everything, she took a bunch of stuff inside her house. Even like all the juices we had for mixed drinks were in her fridge? my sisters purse was dumped out and spread around. I am still missing cards from guests and my bridesmaids were missing belongings as well. 12) Nothing was in the least bit prepared for a wedding. Everything was last minute, the grass was 6 inches long and we had to go get our own mower and mow it. The day of my wedding we were mowing. 13) I had curtains I bought, 10 sets to use there and she still wont answer my call to get them back. Earlier in the week before my wedding she said she wanted to buy them or I could "donate them to her" what? She scrounges for things she can get for free from you, its weird and wrong. 14) While we were setting up for my wedding they were showing it to someone as a possible venue. At the end of this review I would like to say I would never in a million years recommend someone to this site. This was a difficult experience, the only reason my wedding was beautiful was we had over 25 people for a week fixing this place up. So dot be fooled like me by the beautiful pictures, this was an ugly experience. read more

My son and daughter in law just had their wedding here. It was fantastic and they could not have chosen a better place. Karen and Michael did everything to make sure it was a wedding to remember. You can tell how much they love the place and how much they want you to have the wedding of your dreams. It is just beautiful here; from the sound of the Clackamas River in the background to the beautiful pastures and gardens. It is also very kid friendly. There is a tire swing to swing on and chickens to look at. So many of the guests came up and said this was the best wedding they had been to. They loved the setting. It was nice to have the venue for the weekend, instead of having to rush around and get everything out loaded up before the next wedding comes in. Thank you Karen and Michael. The wedding was perfect. read more
