She also offered us the flexibility to allow us to use to the room to our best advantage. Everything was always clean and she attended to every detail. There is a lovely "living room" like set up in the adjacent area with fireplace, leather chairs and kitchen area. She always had water and a pot of hot water and coffee available for coffee or tea. She was always welcoming and accommodating. AFter some awful experiences with some other local venues, it was a joy to work with her!

I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a place to hold an intimate at home feeling gathering without having to do all that getting ready. Her communication was great, the tables were all set out and looking lovely when we arrived and the courtyard was warm and inviting. Oh and the pricing is very competitive. Cannot wait to host another event at Windrose!

In May, I wanted to book our wedding in a timely manner due to needing to request time off from my work. Lesley was not available to show us the venue due to her being out of the country at the time but she was very accommodating and had Melissa come and show us the venue. We fell in love with Melissa right away. She explained all the different options and packages we could pick from. We gladly picked her Tiny Coordinated wedding option. Lesley sent us a reminder to apply for our marriage License 60 days before the wedding which was really helpful. She also agreed to officiate our wedding for us so she sent us a questionnaire to tailor the ceremony to our style. Then, once closer to the wedding she sent us a draft of everything she was going to say and gave us the option to adjust it as needed. It made our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. When we arrived to the venue, she had everything already beautiful, set up, and ready to go. She helped with getting any extra decor I had brought unloaded from the car. The dressing room was adorable with multiple mirrors to get ready at. We only used it to change into our dresses but we were very impressed with it and wished we would have booked more time to do our hair and makeup in there. My bouquet and the boutonnière made by Melissa was stunning. The flowers on the top of our arch were beautiful too. The ceremony was beautiful and Lesley did an amazing job keeping it short, funny, and tailored to how we wanted it. It was exactly how I had envisioned. She then helped us with getting our marriage license signed and filed it after the wedding for us which was a huge relief. She helped with getting all of the catering set up and our cake cutting organized. While my only complaint was that we ran out of tortillas, Lesley was able to get some more tortillas for us. Looking back on all of it, I was extremely happy with the experience we had at Lavender Owl Farm. It sounds like they are making even more improvements to make the venue more beautiful then it already is. The beauty of the farm-like style and flowery gardens speaks for itself and doesn't require much more decor. I would highly recommend to others looking to have a beautiful small intimate wedding.

If you are getting married in wine country near McMinville, Rogue is hands-down the best bar and…read morecatering option available. I got married this past Saturday at the Evergreen Air & Space Museum and my guests (and husband) won't stop talking about how much they loved the food. I'd originally contacted a bunch of Portland-based catering companies who had tons of stellar reviews, but their quotes were totally absurd for what they were offering. I work in hospitality and have worked plenty of events, so I thought I'd had a reasonable budget for food and beverage -- but literally NO catering company came close. My reception was during peak July wedding season; they could afford to quote ludicrous prices because SOMEONE would eventually pay. I finally got Rogue through my contact at the Falls/Evergreen Museum. Aside from actually quoting me a reasonable price, here are a few of the MANY other reasons Rogue is amazing: - They're local to McMinville, so they know almost all the venues there and won't charge for gas/transportation like Portland-based companies - Janet (the co-owner and my primary contact) responded to all my emails quickly and in a straightforward way. No form emails. No glossy sales pitch requiring a "consultation call" and time-wasting handoffs through a disorganized event contact. I was literally like, "Here's what I want, and here's my budget. Is this possible?" She responded, "Yeah, we can make that happen, let me send you a proposal/menus for that price point." I'd had calls with 5 other companies and not ONE of them would give me this straight up info. Leading up to the reception we had tons of emails about menu adjustments I wanted and stuff, and Janet was always really on top of it. She's also extremely practical, no-nonsense, and organized... Honestly, that's a rarity in the events industry, where event planners tend to be all charm but can't remember all the glorious promises they made you on the day of your event. - I had a lot of specific things I needed for my menu due to some, ahem, "discerning" guests. I wanted some dishes pescatarian, some vegan, etc. And I personally wanted all of them to be local and sustainable. As an added difficulty, the Space Museum doesn't have any facilities for prep - or even running water. Everything had to be prepped and brought in from off-site. Janet handled all of those requests with aplomb. She even thought of things I hadn't. And everything tasted really, really good! - On the day of the event, her team was super on top of everything. They were very professional and everything was set up on schedule. There isn't a single thing I could criticize about their execution. We even had some last-minute challenges on our end, like the wine we brought for them to serve wasn't chilled because someone on our end dropped the ball, but they were totally adaptable and made everything work. Janet and her chef-husband also operate a restaurant called Subterra in the area, and they've been in the catering industry for a long time. They know what the heck they're doing! If you're where I was this time last year, overhwelmed by catering options and wondering whether planning your own wedding was a tragic mistake and maybe you should just elope so you don't have to deal with the stress of it all, just TRUST ME... Get Rogue on board. Tell Janet what you want and what your budget is (she'll have no problem telling you if it's not feasible... and probably figure out something that IS feasible for you). You won't regret it and this will make everything way easier. I survived planning my wedding reception, and you can, too! Go get 'em, tiger bride-slash-groom!
