The Griffin House on the Columbia River Gorge

Hard to believe we’ll be gushing as hard as these two starting *this weekend* at our first wedding of the season! Bring on the toasts and tears. 🥂

We’re just weeks away from putting the tent back up, marking the transition from season close to season open—a passage of time that always feels astonishing to us. We couldn’t be more excited for what 2025 will bring anddddd admittedly we’re especially looking forward to seeing what kind of creative installations will transform the tent. This ravishing piece by was created for a particularly visionary couple, and goodness, it was a real beauty.

We’re world famous for it — the mighty wind of the Gorge. Truly well known. Hood River overflows with windsurfers & kiters. There’s energy and inertia in the breeze. Can be daunting when plotting an event but when properly planned for, it only adds to the sense of place, the authenticity and wonder of celebrating in the great outdoors.

We love seeing what couples choose to hang and we’re always down to add a hook (or a piece of creative hardware) if needed. So long as we know what you want to hang in advance, we’ll make every effort to accommodate the vision, regardless of where you are on the property.

Elevated, intimate, and full of joy (and disco balls🪩) — receiving this photo album instantly sparked our creative side, it was truly an honor to be a part of your extraordinary day.

It’s 2025 and our 2026 books are officially open. It sometimes all feels so hard to believe. That we’re here, that it’s been five years. We’re grateful for all that lies ahead in 2025 and have this sense of fluttering disbelief that we’re already looking toward 2026. With steadiness and a rosy disposition, we remain more committed than ever to the constant evolution required to maintain excellence—we are endlessly in pursuit of wonder, the heart of every experience we create.

We often see brides (and sometimes grooms!) choose to get ready on the main floor rather than in the suite upstairs, the floor to ceiling windows and open floor plan is an ideal spot for larger wedding parties to get hair and makeup done. Once hair & makeup wraps, sneak upstairs to get into your dress, and voilaaaaaa!

One of the most remarkable seating charts we have ever seen. Inspiring us to share a core mission of ours -- to provide a blank canvas. Our spaces highlight natural beauty and can either stand alone or be transformed to fit an individual vision. We strive to say yes to the vision, yes to making each wedding day a *work of art* 👩‍🎨

This photo captures ‘the guest experience’ for us—but whatttt does that mean? 🤔 It’s the moments your guests feel the kind of joy that makes them want to throw their hands up in celebration. We believe every detail reflects on us, so we work hard to make sure you have everything you need. From our furniture collection to our ‘Guide to Getting Married at TGH’ and our ever-changing list of favorite vendors—we take it seriously because it’s not just about your experience (though that’s #1) it’s about your guests too.✨

Ali is a close family friend and has been a part of this place long before it was ‘The Griffin House.’ When she told us she wanted to get married here, we were deeply honored. Rosy as can be. Watching her marry Sam—the love of her life—surrounded by their families was a little bit surreal. Our hearts nearly burst. We couldn’t be more grateful for how it all worked out (cue happy sobs 😭) & .i.smith — we love you forever ♾️❤️‍🔥
