Summit Grove Lodge Reviews

Through the entire process they were more then helpful and accommodating. Val the day of was absolutely amazing and helped so much !

Summit Grove Lodge was beautiful. All of our guests were very impressed with the venue, staff and food. Mary and her team made our wedding day perfect. Their friendliness, willingness to help was much appreciated. The venue is one of the most beautiful places you can hold your wedding. The antique car, gas pumps, fireplaces, grounds made our day very special. I can not imagine marrying anywhere else. Summit Grove Lodge was beyond amazing.

The venue was beautiful; the food was excellent!! Thank you, Katie, for all you did for us. The staff was so helpful and friendly. When we went back for brunch a few months later, Katie no longer worked there. She was such a great person.

Perfect setting for a wedding where you want "rustic elegance". Spectacular setting conviently located close to Portland OR and Southern WA. Superb and professional staff that made each step in the planning process so easy. Preparation and quality of the event is second to none. Food choices are endless and very reasonably priced for a high end facility. State of the art sound and video are a great extra for that special slide show! Ceremony setting is amazing with water features, gas torches and artificial turf that guarantees no mud or grass stains on that beautiful white wedding dress! Guests commented that it was the nicest venue they had seen.

Definitely would recommend for smaller weddings. The venue is beautiful and everything was fantastic!!

My wedding at Summit Grove was gorgeous, amazing and so much fun. This was all due to the work of myself, fiancé, family, friends and some incredible vendors. The venue itself is beautiful and our pictures turned out great. The wait staff were all very nice and helpful. Many of them complimented us on how organized and fun the wedding was. However, there are some major issues with the management of Summit Grove that I think everyone planning a wedding there should be aware of.
The manager Peter is extremely difficult to work with. He is very hard to get a hold of. He does not email and seldom returns phone calls. There were many times when we were told we would be called back with an answer to a question but never were. My other major issue with Peter is he was constantly talking negatively about other brides and weddings. It was clear he does not enjoy his job and complained about it many times. Peter seems disorganized and was always mixing up our weddings with others. We scheduled an appointment to meet with him about 2 weeks before the wedding to go over final details. We showed up at the venue and he had completely forgotten about the meeting. I had to consistently follow up with Peter and remind him of the commitments he made.
Summit Grove lost our wedding cake. We had a whole sheet cake and a 2-tier cake left over. This was boxed up by staff for us to take home. However, this was never given to us. The day after our wedding we stopped by the venue to pick up our left over cake. They could not find it. We were told by Peter that we would receive a call later that day once he looked into this. We never received a call. I called again when we returned from our honeymoon. Peter said he would look into it and call back. We never received a call back. Two months after our wedding we received a letter stating that they found our wedding cake. The box had fallen in between a wall and shelf.
