A few weeks ago, I woke up at 6:30am on a Saturday morning to begin a full day of meetings. I have to say, I’m not a morning person, but the beautiful drive to the Columbia Gorge quickly woke me up. Molly welcomed me to the Gorge-ous Weddings venue and began showing me around… The view is breathtaking, one you wish you could wake up to every morning, one that would maybe even make me a morning person. Molly and her family are lucky enough to wake up to this breathtaking view everyday… yes, I’m a little jealous, but after Molly’s recent wedding, they are sharing their experience and view with you! I’ll let Molly tell you more about Gorge-ous Weddings...

Champagne: What inspired you to open a wedding/event venue?

Molly: I would have to say my own wedding. My husband is from out of town and his family just could not believe the beauty we have in the Gorge. It inspired me to share this venue with others.

Champagne: What size events can you accommodate?

Molly: We can accommodate weddings up to 500 guests as well as large family reunions and other events.

Champagne: What sets your venue apart from the rest?

Molly: We have overnight accommodations in our beautifully remodeled Ranch House that is included in all wedding packages.

Champagne: We heard you recently got married! What would you have done differently?

Molly: Honestly I would have hired a coordinator. Reason being come the day of my wedding, I was slightly overwhelmed with everything that need to be done. I could have used an extra set of hands and eyes to get me though my day.

Champagne: What are you so happy you did?

Molly: I never thought in my wildest dreams I would marry a man in a Kilt, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Champagne: What is something you think people should know when picking their wedding/event venue?

Molly: Look around at all the places you can get your photo taken. Your wedding day will come and go but you will always have your memories in photos.
