  Amazing venue!

  Most beautiful venue I've ever seen. We wanted something different from a country club and this was our dream. Extremely affordable and Rose was wonderful to deal with through the entire process. The venue is beautiful along with the upstairs bridal suite. Rose knows her venue better than I ever could've anticipated and because of this, communicated what she knows works best. She had everything ready to go days prior and made sure to communicate with any questions she had for both us and the other vendors. Everything was absolutely perfect - wedding day went off without a hiccup.

  Amazing venue for my bohemian barn wedding!

  I just had my wedding and reception at Crooked River Ranch this past weekend and I could not have been happier! The venue fit perfectly for my bohemian barn wedding vibe I was going for. It was the perfect day, and thanks to the owner Rose for making the whole experience very easy for me. My guests are still talking about how beautiful of a venue it is. The barn and property alone is amazing, but even more so she already has quite a bit of stuff to use on-site. Everything from a fire pit, cornhole boards, lawn games, signs, s’mores cart and so much more! 10/10 would recommend this venue to anyone!

  Beautiful Venue

  Me and my fiancé recently took a tour of the barn at crooked river ranch. It is absolutely beautiful and very well designed for a wedding. It also comes with a lot of wedding decorations that go very well with the barn. Rose is great to work with and very accommodating.

  Perfect Venue

  Our wedding day was perfect! Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful it was: the Barn, the land, the fire pit, everything looked so amazing it was like being in a fairytale. Rose and the staff assisted all our vendors, directing them where to set up and making little adjustments as needed. The bathrooms were kept clean all day. We did have some rain but they were prepared for everything so even that didn't ruin any of our special day. We're so glad we chose Crooked River Ranch and highly recommend this venue to others!

  Available/ Supportive/ helpful/ Flexible

  This venue was the best for a DIY bride like myself. From the start of the planning process, Rose was giving advise and making sure I was on track with my planning. I was given great recommendations but was allowed to use whom ever I desired. I ended up going with all of her recommendations. She has a beautiful piece of property.
  Day of, their team went above and beyond helping getting set up. She allowed me to change anything I needed too. She even had someone sew pants for the father of the groom who split his pants.

  Simply amazing!

  My daughter and I visited at least 6 other venues before coming across Crooked River Ranch. When we first got there, I fell in love. The barn and property are absolutely gorgeous! Many of the other barns we saw didn’t come close to comparing to Crooked River Ranch. It was well kept and taken care of. You could tell that Rose; the owner and her husband take great pride in the venue and property. On top of the beauty of the venue I instantly felt comfortable with Rose. She is down to earth, detail-oriented, caring and just wants to help create couples dream weddings. I was also amazed that the barn was similar in price to most of the other barns I viewed but it came with decorations. This was huge because I knew the price of decorations could add up fast. Mostly everything I was looking for she already had. She had very similar taste to mine so that definitely worked out in my favor! Even if your taste in décor is a little different there are many decorations that I think can/will work for most people.
  The property is just as stunning as the barn. I remember when I first saw the firepit and I was in aww with how gorgeous it was. Most of the firepits I saw beforehand were nice, average, but the firepit here was breath taking! It was classier than most and that is what I was looking for. You can get some of the best pictures there! There are many spots where you can have great pictures taken.
  After viewing the venue, I called my fiancé at the time and told him how amazing it was, and I wanted him to come see it with me. He told me in the beginning to look without him until I found something I was really interested in and then he’d come see it with me. So, Rose was ever so kind and let me go back again with my fiancé and mother to look at the venue. They both fell in love as well! This is another reason I was happy booking with this venue because Rose was so accommodating. I must have asked to go up there 6 more times this includes a few days before my actual wedding. Rose always accommodated and never complained once. Speaking of accommodating she answered my millions of questions as well, quickly and without ever making me feel like I was being a bother. If I was working with someone different this most likely wouldn’t have been the case. So thankfully I had Rose to help ease my anxieties and support me throughout the whole process.
  Rose also went above and beyond by adding lights to the inside barn poles. She also added up lighting to the whole property as well. I love lights, so I was ecstatic when she added more, and it turned out beautiful!
  Our wedding ended up being the fairy tale wedding I was dreaming off. It wouldn’t have been possible without the venue Crooked River Ranch and Rose, her husband and staff! Everyone keeps telling me, my husband and family members how gorgeous our wedding was, even those who have gone to multiple weddings. 😊
  I can’t recommend Crooked River Ranch enough! Your wedding will be stunning and stress free with the help of Rose and her staff!

  A Pinterest Board dream wedding venue!

  It was a dream!! My pinterest board dream wedding was at a barn and looking back, I felt like my wedding could be someone else's dream board. The owners made every step of the way so easy and were so helpful, from communication to setup, to the end of the evening! She heard my vision and helped bring it to life. The property is BEAUTIFUL and made for the best backdrop to our special day. The bride and the girls all got ready in the loft inside the barn and it was just perfect. It was setup so quaint and was the perfect bridal suite. It easily fit the 10 of us. My favorite part of that was the windows that looked out to the cocktail hour area and the main entrance. I could see people arriving and people setting up. Just loved those small moments. Our ceremony took place back behind the barn with all the trees as the perfect backdrop. The sun set on the other side of the barn, so the lighting for our ceremony was beautiful. After the ceremony, all the guests enjoyed cocktail hour out to the side of the barn under the trees and near the firepit area. We took our family portraits and bride/groom photos out past where the ceremony took place. Between the lighting that peeked through the trees, to the scenery, to still being able to hear the music of cocktail hour, it all made that hour so special. The photographer loved all the amazing options for bride/groom photos and did I mention that lighting!! From where the sun sets, it peaks through just perfectly between the trees and around the barn. The reception took place inside the barn and also out near the fire pit with strung lights throughout. We added other lights in other trees around that area so outside was so beautiful all twinkly. We had 130 guests and they fit so perfectly in the space. We had the caterers setup, the DJ setup and the photobooth setup and they all had the perfect places in each corner of the barn. All of our ideas for how we wanted our wedding to look came together beautifully in the space! All the guests raved about the barn, the property and how wonderful everything was. We had the best time and we didn't have to worry about one thing that day/evening. I still look back on that day and wish we could replay it b/c it was beyond amazing. We would recommend this venue to anyone and hope so many other couples get to celebrate their most special day at this magical location. Our wedding was everything and more!!
