Loved seeing the property, buildings and the artifacts and hearing the story of how this family came to find a home in this small town along the river. Dr Cable was the first doctor in the area and you can still see his furniture and where he treated patients (as well as the beautiful piano for his wife that took a journey to get to them!). Learned that they have TEA & SWEETS served Fridays from 2-4 PM $5 per person in the cute little cottage in the back... wonderful place to visit! One thing to note is that the time is wrong... they are not open until 5 as stated here on yelp!

Muriel was always so understanding, listened to our every detail and seriously delivered when we were finally able to have our wedding! Not only had the entire venue really come to life with all of the decorations, but before the ceremony my hubby and I got to take a look inside the barn and I couldn't help but cry at how incredibly gorgeous it was. The Adeline Farms team really made everything more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined! Annika was with me (bride) the entire time making sure I had what I needed and was on time. She was so sweet and helpful! Matt the bartender was just the absolute best! The entire night he made sure my hubby and I had the drink of our choice in hand and he was so nice to everyone. I cannot say enough times how grateful I am for this amazing team! I also had Muriel's planning services and she just was a dream to work with and helped make our big day the best day of our lives!

The sound system also was very good. Rahel and her husband were very helpful. She helped us get a bartender who we really liked as well. The reception went really well and everyone had a blast. The outside was also very nice with plenty of space for guests to relax and children to play. Compared to the other venues we looked at it was above and beyond. Also, there are virtually no neighbors so there's no need to worry about loud music and there's a ton of parking. It's only 20 minutes from downtown Portland and Vancouver so quite convenient as far as location goes as well.

There's something about Corbett with its crazy wind corridor barreling down on the inhabitants at all times and acres of former farmland. Somehow, it makes the teens take crazy risks with their lives, which is probably the story of teens everywhere in the U.S. But I hear about JB's life as a teenager in Corbett and I'm given a jumble of Dazed and Confused-style antics involving drunk driving, class cutting, and nature walks, not always in that order. You can understand why my outsider's perspective on the small town of Corbett is a little skewed. So when JB's band had the opportunity to practice in the Columbia Grange Hall in Corbett, it was a bit of a revelation. Beyond providing the setting for countless truant excursions out on Rooster Rock, Corbett contains a simple wooden building just off the main highway where the local citizens organize. The grange once served as the physical space to educate people about family farms as well as lobby for more federal money for local farmers. These days, the Columbia Grange members still do a lot of work with food. They collect food items for some residents in the Sandy River area and pass out lunches to seniors once a week. They also use the space to hold craft fairs and flea markets. My friend's grandmother volunteers not just her time but her amazing stores of energy and commitment to her hometown. One sticky summer day, she unlocked the entrance and let her grandson's band loose on the small stage. The fledgling band, with JB on the left side with his guitar, looked pretty happy on the stage despite the lack of air flow. They ran through their set several times. As I chugged down one bottle of water after another, I surveyed the wooden planks along the floor, the ancient piano, and the steeple-shaped ceiling. Every structure appeared like an object time-traveled out of Corbett's history. It wasn't my past, which felt kind of odd. But I watched my boyfriend do what he loves on that dusty stage in the place where he went to high school, and it felt like that place could be part of my history, at some point.

We very easily could have been defeated by the situation, but the staff at Opal 28 always made us feel supported and positive that our event would be amazing! Even though people were working remotely and, I'm sure, dealing with their own stresses, there was never a lapse in time for communication and answers to any and all of my questions that came up over that year. Often times, my questions were met with so many thoughtful options and possibilities that it was clear the Opal 28 staff was a trusted team with a ton of experience! On the big day, the staff took all of the decorating and arranging into their own capable hands and off of mine and the venue looked even better than we imagined! I love the flow of the space, giving guests different areas to visit in both indoors and out. The food was impeccable and I should mention that in the time between booking the venue and having our wedding, we had gone totally vegan and wanted a plant-based menu. The chef came up with an entire list of possibilities and everyone was blown away that it was a totally vegan menu. Having the available apartments upstairs was also a huge help as we were able to add one for the night to use as a staging and changing area and place to store extra needed items. I can never thank the staff of Opal 28 enough for their care and professionalism and ability to keep everything positive and calm in the face of so many unknowns. I highly recommend this venue for any and all festivities and look forward to visiting again!
