This property has a lovely location and the facility is very adequate, but the current ownership made our stay for a family wedding weekend miserable. We live locally and chose this facility because of the pretty location and nice facilities. Unfortunately, we did not check with anyone about the people running the facility. We met several times with the event coodinator, in person, and made our requirements known for the event. We were let down several times in terms of our requests for the wedding, and the entire weekend was a difficult experience for my guests and myself.
Although we were repeatedly told the Bride had the major say in how the wedding occured, we were rebuffed in our attempts to set up the way she wanted things during several crucial parts of the wedding, including the ceremony and the reception. Also, in more than one instance, items which we were told would be made available were not available, causing us to scramble at the last minute before the wedding, or making us do without that which was promised ahead of time. This situation caused a lot of stress for the Bride and her family.
When my overnight guests arrived on Friday afternoon they were accosted by the owner in a confrontational manner. This type of behavior continued all weekend with too many events for me to go into a lot of detail. Two examples: in the middle of the wedding rehearsal Friday afternoon, he tried to pull me, mother of the bride, aside to talk about ridiculously inconsequential matters. I was trying to concentrate on the order of ceremony events! On Saturday morning as we ate breakfast, we received a lecture on having our bags ready and rooms cleaned up 8:45 AM the next day - even though check out was not until 11AM. This when we had just arrived, and were thinking about preparations for the wedding that day. These lectures from the owner were numerous and annoying, as was his presence during the wedding and reception dressed in casual clothes (a sweater) for our formal event. I will not go into more detail other than to say he was a thorn in our side the entire time with his constant nagging and clueless behaviors. My entire family had flown out from New Hampshire to Oregon to attend this wedding and I was embarrassed at how they were treated. I would not advise anyone to have a wedding at this site under the present ownership.
