Black Butte Ranch

Black Butte Ranch is a venue in Bend, Oregon. If you like the idea of an intimate wedding with around 50 guests or so, and want to be on a lake with your loved ones with an incredible location to say your vows and have dinner, I would say this is been one of the best elopement venues in Oregon for you.

Black Butte Ranch host regular weddings as a conceit up to 200 people. Although, the seclusion in nature plus the ability to curate some thing intimate with their coordinator Will leave you feeling like you don’t have to have a traditional welling or the need to fill up all the space at Black Butte has to offer. You can instead treat it as your own personal wonderland with those closest to you.

Elk Lake

We have talked about a lot of the best elopement venues in Oregon. Although, maybe you’re looking for something that feels really casual yet beautiful.

Not only is it beautiful and cheap. You can also rent out the cabins on the property so that you can lodge guests right where your elopement will take place.

Brasada Ranch

Brasada Ranch is on the fancier side of things. But, this is another venue that has the option to host and elopement ceremony within their packages. They even have a ceremony location that is small and Internet that you get to on horseback. They have incredible other venues on top of that, the best food, and they were rated to have had the best spa in Oregon.

Brasada would be a perfect choice for you if you want to have a unique intimate ceremony location but follow it up with some lavish food and the reception with friends and family, maybe around a bonfire or having drinks! Maybe you even do a massage and facial in their spot the day before your elopement.

Mt. View Orchards

Mountain View Meadows is one of my favorite elopement venues in Oregon. You get incredible views all around you, and it’s on an orchard. You can actually walk around and pick the fruit. They also make alcoholic beverages with the fruit that they grew on their farm, and this can be served at your elopement. I love that this venue has a covered area but is still open and doesn’t take away from being outside.

This elopement venue is perfect for couples who want Mountain View’s, love orchards, possibly love fall, and want to be able to dance their heads off with people they love in the middle of the mountains.

Skyliner Lodge

Skyliner is in elopement venue in Bend, Oregon. This venue has recently started to get a bit more popular. This is because it is a small venue located within a Trail system overlooking cliffs and a river. On top of that, they have a small location to get ready and a place for caterers to make dinner. Last but definitely not least, they also have a dance floor within the pine trees on their property.

This venue is going to be perfect for couples who don’t want anything indoors. Yes, they do have a spot to get ready, but it’s dimly lit and outside of that there isn’t room for guests. This venue is also ideal for couples who only want a small amount of guests, as there isn’t a ton of room for tables and chairs. Maybe enough for a 30 to 40 person guest list!
