Perched above the Columbia River Gorge, Gorge Crest Vineyard offered the dreamiest backdrop for this late-summer celebration. The venue’s open lawn, mountain views, and surrounding wildflower fields created an atmosphere that felt both expansive and intimate—all framed by those signature panoramic vistas that make this property such a standout.
On this slightly overcast August day, the sky shifted between soft clouds and glimpses of blue, giving the entire event a calm, luminous glow. The vineyard’s natural landscape did most of the work, with rows of grapes, wildflowers in full bloom, and unobstructed views of the Gorge setting the stage. Guests were treated to that quintessential Gorge Crest experience: sweeping scenery from ceremony to cocktail hour and a sunset that painted the horizon warm gold by evening.
The wedding’s details played gently off the venue’s natural beauty. The groom’s moss-green suit and the bridesmaids’ palette of greens and soft oranges blended seamlessly with the vineyard surroundings. Florals echoed that same organic approach—simple whites, soft pinks, and buttery yellows accented with bright pops of orange to bring a little playful contrast without overpowering the space. Their tablescapes followed suit: airy, understated, and intentionally scattered with touches of color that complemented the venue’s earthiness rather than competing with it.
As the sun dropped behind the Gorge, guests gathered with the couple to close out the night, surrounded by glowing views, warm air, and the landscape that makes Gorge Crest Vineyard such a magical place to celebrate.
The couple chose our Premiere Package for the extra design support and collaborative planning it offers. With more meetings, hands-on guidance, and custom design boards, they could clearly visualize every detail while staying in full creative control. It made the entire process smoother, more confident, and beautifully cohesive from start to finish.
Behind every beautiful wedding is a talented team of people - see The Vendor Team who made this day a reality at the end of the gallery.
