A few months ago, Rachelle and I went on a trip to visit some gorgeous venues in Sisters, Oregon. Our last stop was Black Butte Ranch and I instantly fell in love! The staff was so friendly, welcoming and helpful, giving us a tour of the whole ranch! It is the absolute perfect location for a weekend wedding! With many houses and condos for rent, your guests can stay in their own private house and with activities, from horseback riding to lounging by the pool to getting a massage at the spa, will surely keep your guests entertained! Planning a weekend wedding is great for your guests to be able to come celebrate your love and get away for a vacation! I invite you to fall in love…

Champagne: How would you describe your event space?
Aimee: The true Oregon experience: Breathtaking views, intimate outdoor setting and unhurried, personal service.  You can have it all: a backdrop of mountain lake and meadow views, surrounded by towering Junipers and quaking aspens pointing to a clear open sky bathed in moonlight and a sea of stars.  While taking this all in, our staff will be seamlessly tending to your guests every need and joyfully celebrating your special day with you. 

Champagne: Describe your ideal client.
Aimee: I love working with couples with a sense of humor.  The wedding planning process can be a stressful one with all the details involved, but if we are all laughing along with way it can actually be a really fun time (as it was meant to be!).  And we all know that a couple that laughs together, stays together! 

Champagne: Do you have weddings year round?
Aimee: Our primary event space showcases the natural outdoor splendor of the area, placing the majority of our weddings in the months of June through October. With that said, we do have many beautiful indoor options that can be utilized year-round. 

Champagne: How many guests can your event venue accommodate?
Aimee: We have hosted very intimate weddings of 20 up to parties of 200+.  There are really unique dynamics that occur in weddings of different sizes and we truly enjoy hosting them all. 

Champagne: How many people can you accommodate overnight?
Aimee: Our housing options include lodge rooms, cabins, condos and expansive homes that can accommodate parties of nearly any size.

Champagne: What amenities can you provide for the wedding guests?
Aimee: We have nearly endless amenities available here on the Ranch; one of the things that makes our venue so unique and amazing.  Most wedding guests choose to make a vacation out of their trip here to take advantage of our two 18-hole golf courses, 3 restaurants, 5 pools, full service spa, gym, sauna, miles and miles of bike and hiking trails, canoe and paddle-boating, the list goes on and on!

Champagne: Do you have an onsite spa?
Aimee: We have an amazing full-service spa that is perfect for a morning-of pampering for the bride, a relaxing start to the bachelorette party or even gift certificates as favors for the hard working members of the wedding party.

Champagne: What set your venue apart?
Aimee: Our service principles are set up to ensure the entire process is a seamless and stress-free experience.  That coupled with our unrivaled scenery makes for a truly unforgettable and extraordinary wedding. 

Champagne: Thank you, Aimee, for sharing more about Black Butte Ranch! We are so excited to work out there soon! Make sure to check out their website and follow them on twitter!
