They are so friendly and on top of everything. I didn't have to worry one minute about anything on the wedding day. The location was beautiful and all of our guests (who flew in from all over the country) fell in love with Oregon from the beautiful surroundings they experienced at Beckenridge. If you're looking for a wedding venue that has both indoor and outdoor options for your ceremony and the reception all on site, this is the place! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Beckenridge!

Excellent event venue | Awesome annual powwow contest…read more First time for us to attend the annual powwow contest by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. I read somewhere that the arena was built with their own timber. I don't know who built the arena but it was well built and well thought out. This is an excellent place to gather, celebrate and honor the First Nations. Specifically about the Grand Ronde Contest Powwow: +Very family-friendly and open to the public +Camping is available +Lots of bathrooms (portables but well maintained) +Mist station to stay cool during hot summer days +Lots of vendors, lots of food +Impressive dancing over the course of 3 days. Do not miss the Grand Entry. Be respectful and listen to the Master of Ceremonies when it is okay to take photos and when you can join in on the dancing (Intertribal dance).

We have been traveling through the area for the last week and this was, by far, our most…read moredisappointing experience. On our way here we visited multiple gardens and flower farms in Salem and the surrounding area that were completely free and FAR superior. They charge $14 per person to visit the garden and in my opinion it's not worth it. The employees we interacted with were unhelpful, unknowledgeable and apathetic but beyond the poor service, the grounds themselves were disappointing. There are dead and dying plants everywhere, shade and seating are scarce and there is very little of interest to see. If you enjoy paths and trees, visit any local park and the sites will be as good. If you love roses, visit Owen Rose Garden or if you like peonys, irises, etc there are multiple farms in the area to visit for free. Unless you love the smell of hot fertilizer and throwing your money away, this is not it. Their "Amazing" water garden consists of a few algae topped ponds. They also claim to be dog friendly but they are as dog friendly as a sidewalk. They have a tram tour that literally stopped in the walkway blocking all the walking guests from proceeding while robotically reading a speech and leaving everyone to stand there in the sun until they were done. This whole experience was just so unenjoyable. I rarely leave bad reviews and I Yelp to help others avoid my mistakes so if you are reading this, please don't waste your time or money here. There are so many other great options. Oh, and to the "Business Manager" who obligatorily responds all the unflattering reviews in an effort to appear as though customer service is important, but is ultimately condescending, it's not helping your cause, so feel free to spare us all.

Even though the plants' condition in March leaves a lot to be desired, as not very much is coming into season yet, there was plenty to take in. The variety of landscaping/hardscaping is impressive, the views incredible, the plant collection inspiring (even my very non-aggie partner took notes on what we could possibly incorporate into our own yard). It's obvious that plenty of care and planning went into the garden spaces. Highlights for me included the conifer forest and the wetlands areas. The Lewis and Clark pathway with its stonehenge-like pillars was neat too. Each section has its own hidden treasures and spaces for reflection. Would love to come back in spring or summer to see what's changed.

It was buffet style and in the first pan was cut up chicken patties in very dry mac n cheese. Then shrimp mush of some kind, some soggy steamed vegetables and a bowl of lettuce with your choice of two dressings. Rolls with no butter. I ordered a Lemon Drop and I don't know what it was but I couldn't drink it. Then 47 minutes into our cruise, we turned around to go back to the dock to pick up passengers who arrived late. Because of this, I suspect that we didn't get to see as much of the river as we should have. The captain was friendly and we did see a pair of bald eagles.
