Eugene / Springfield area wedding locations & Links

Blue Rooster B&B huge barn 5 min south of Eugene in rolling hills. Space for roughly 100 people inside barn. Great summertime location. Barn is very nice but still a bit open to the cold weather as barns always are. Best in warm weather.

Belknap Hot Springs 45 min up in the Cascades from Eugene. River, old growth forest. Rental cabins. Rooms in the hotel to rent. Plenty of space for large or small weddings and can easily accomodate 3 or 4 weddings at the same time with full privacy for each.

The Campbell House Right in downtown near 1st and Pearl (I think). Can only accommodate about 40 max. in the ceremony location.

Chateau Loraine 45 min south of Eugene. Great for large groups up to perhaps 300. Beautiful grounds right on the side of a very beautiful lake.

The Coburg Country Inn 5 min. North of Eugene. Great for large groups. Has two seperate locations that can be used at the same time. Indoor reception location at both sites. Very nice grounds. Lots of Gazebo & Roses type design on the grounds. Visit website.

Eagle Rock Lodge 35 min up the McKenzie River from Eugene. Right along the McKenzie river. Beautiful grounds. Lots of room to set up big tents alongside the river. Very private. You get the whole place for the whole weekend. Extremely beautiful natural looking grounds with some old growth trees. Visit website

Hinman Vinyard 20 min south of Eugene. Any size groups. Can accomodate 100+ indoors. Very beautiful grounds with lots of Vineyards and rolling hills.

McKenzie View B&B just northeast of Springfield. Large house with beautiful property right along the river. Good for groups up to 100.

Odell Lake Lodge 1 hr east of Eugene in Cascades. Beautiful but can be a bit cold in September. Very rustic. Rantal cabins and rooms in the lodge. Lots of space to make your own ceremony location by the lake or in the woods.

Shelter Cove Lodge also located on Odell lake. Same as above but lodge and cabins are a bit more modern and a bit less rustic charm.

Wayfarer Resort 20 min up the Mckenzie River. I think this might be my favorite location for your size group. Plenty of privacy, not too far from town. 6 Rental cabins and a central lodge. Very nice waterfront along the McKenzie river.

Whisper-n-Oaks 20 min towards Monroe on Hwy 99. Surrounded by working wheat farms. Beautiful setting custom designed specifically for weddings. Any size groups. No indoor facilities except dressing rooms for Bride & Groom.

Custom Wedding and Engagement Rings Eugene Oregon
As you may know from the blog, Amelie and I are engaged now. But before I popped the question I had to have a ring of course. Amelie and I searched for weeks all over Oregon and Greece without finding anything that really jumped out at us. Then I met Gary Dawson of Goldworks down on 169 E. Broadway (near Zenon's) and he specializes in creating custom jewelry. We sat down and worked out ideas to create a ring that is one-of-a-kind and it is even more special to me and Amelie just because I had so much control over every little detail in the design. I had the most wonderful time desigining and creating this perfect engagement ring with Gary and I would like to HIGHLY reccomend him. It came out perfect and I can't reccomend Gary enough. He is a very gifted artist and he's also just a great guy.

Hi Glen,
Things have been crazy busy, and I feel bad that I hadn't gotten back to you to let you know how beautiful the album turned out. They are incredible, we had a Porter reunion last week-end and everybody was really impressed.

Thanks for an amazing job.

Hi Glen,

I hope that you are enjoying your time in Italy. Hopefully it isn’t too hot!

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed working with you, and also how many comments I have received from both American and German family and friends about how impressed they were with you and Amelie. They said that every time they turned around to see a special moment, there you were quietly in the background capturing it. They really felt completely comfortable, and looking back on the whole whirlwind event, I don’t even need to see the pictures to know how glad I am that you and Amelie were there to capture it all.

Anyway, take your time with the photos, and I look forward to seeing them when they are finished.

Thank you and safe travels!
Amelie

Hey Glen,

The photographs are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for your brilliant work you did at our wedding in Cabo.
I felt as though I was never able to fully thank you, with my broken zipper the day before and chaos of the wedding day!
Thank you thank you.

You really caught the moment.

You did a great job and we have wonderful photos.

Thanks again,
Lindsey (Cheney)
