Wedding season is in full swing and it’s no secret that the Willamette Valley is often times chosen for the ceremony. It’s ideal for many reasons- beautiful rolling hills of endless vineyards, prime weather and multiple resources for planning a wedding. Many brides choose one of the many vineyards in the Willamette Valley due to its scenery, lodging and affordability. One such location is the Domaine Margelle Vineyards, located near Silverton, OR which is perfectly situated near the Cascades and nearby lodging like Oregon Garden Resort. They offer two bridal packages- a One-Day and a Two-Day Weekend and venue pricing starts at $3,000. The Two-Day Weekend Package includes overnight use of the property for Rehearsal Dinner, wedding plus vacation rental and “La Bastide” for bridal party prep and overnight accommodations. Speaking of, the Domaine Margell Vineyard has tables and chairs for up to 200 people and can accommodate up to 300, plus they only schedule one wedding per day so no one in your party will feel rushed. They feature several property sites to choose from for your event that overlook the gorgeous Willamette Valley. To top it off, Domaine Margelle Vineyards produces their own Estate grown Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris Wines!
With such a beautiful environment, you’ll want to capture every moment of it. A Light in the Attic Creative Media offers both video and photography services and even offers Super 8 MM film to compliment the rustic feel of the vineyards. They offer a wide variety of packages and prices to suit your budget and tastes plus they offer a free consultation. In 2010 they were voted Best New Vender by Oregon Bride Magazine and they are an approved vendor by The Green Bride Guide.
The people at Willamette Valley Wedding Professionals will help you put together the perfect ceremony, from start to finish. No wedding is exactly the same so each member of their team is selected based on the needs and specifications of the bride and groom.
