If you are looking for a beautiful setting for your wine country wedding, this is the place. Our guests are still talking about our one-of-a-kind Venue where we had the wedding we were envisioning . . . only much better than we could ever have imagined. The scenery is gorgeous and our photos are beyond amazing. But the best part was all the help we got from Diana over the year leading up. She had tips and suggestions and so many decorating ideas -- they were incorporated to make our day at La Bastide with our friends and family incredibly memorable. Book this Venue . . . you'll be glad you did. Reviewed on 31-12-2023

My husband and I got married at Vineyard View Celebrations in August 2023. Diana was helpful throughout the planning process, especially when responding to questions. Diana and Stu were flexible and allowed us to personalize the venue, which meant the world to us. If you are considering this venue, we did have issues finding hotel accommodations for our guests in Silverton (15 minutes from venue), so we made Newberg our home base (45 minutes from venue). That being said, the venue was beautiful, especially the sunset over the rolling hills; our guests commented on the amazing views. We appreciate all Diana and Stu did to make our special day everything we had dreamed of. Reviewed on 28-08-2023

The venue is set up well with a good flow from the parking lot to the ceremony, to the reception area, with bathrooms and a kitchen available for all. Handy space out of the guest eyes for catering to conveniently pull up as well. The various locations for pictures is great, and the lighting from 4-8 is ideal. Vineyard view was the first location we looked at, on a pouring day in December, and it was an immediate yes, everything we wanted.

Elyssa Henry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2021 We have so many praises to sing about this place! My wife and I found ourselves scrambling to find a wedding venue when our original venue fell through due to ice storm damage—and somehow the stars aligned for us to find Vineyard View Celebrations. Diana immediately responded to our inquiry email with information, maps, a walk-through date, and sweet little side notes that we just loved. We often didn't know what to expect when contacting and meeting with vendors for our LGBTQ+ wedding, but Diana was completely welcoming, kind, and so excited for us to have our wedding at Vineyard View. We loved that we were free to hire the caterers and bartender we wanted, and Diana and Stu worked wonderfully with our day-of coordinator to make everything come together. They even have a good collection of decorative tables and other decor that we used to our advantage! So many of our guests have mentioned how much they loved the beautiful space, and we loved dancing the night away beneath the trees, the cabin, and the string lights.

Vineyard View is not only a beautiful, private location, but Diana and her husband Stu really go out of their way to help with anything you need. From dinner rehearsal suggestions to suggesting the perfect photography moments. We were able to have the wedding of our dreams at this location due to being able to imagine and create whatever we wanted with no restrictions on vendors or what we envisioned. I even was able to have a baby calf walk down the isle and I will never forget this memory. ❤️ Please don’t hesitate to check out this location. You won’t regret it!

Diana, the owner was quick to respond, extremely kind and accommodating, and very professional. Even in the chaos of relocating our wedding, she made the transition go smoothly, giving us advice and letting us borrow some decor. Located in the foothills of the Cascades, you can't beat the views at Vineyard View Celebrations at La Bastide - it is a photographers dream. You have many options to choose from including the forest, vineyard, fields, and landscaped koi ponds. With a west facing view our golden hour sunset photos turned out incredibly dreamy.

Michelle Murphy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2019 I chose La Bastide as my wedding venue in July 2019. My now-husband and I had been searching for a venue for months and were running out of patience and enthusiasm. Many other venues were either astronomical or had really strict contracts that didn't quite fit our needs. I found this venue on Google Images, of all places, after searching on all the major wedding databases had failed me. Now that my wedding is over, I can say I highly recommend La Bastide! Diana was a dream to work with. She was so thoughtful and sweet throughout the process. She answered all my questions promptly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. She was like a second mom to me!The venue itself is beautiful and we received lots of compliments from guests.

We had the PERFECT wedding at La Bastide. We selected the location, site unseen from out of state, and trusted our wedding planner that it would be beautiful. It was beyond our expectations. It is the best place for a wedding if you are looking for an intimate ceremony and reception that reminds you of being in your own backyard ....but way better. The views are stunning and the grounds are meticulously maintained. The best part of the venue is the owner, Diana. She was so friendly and welcoming, and went out of her way to help make our day special. Reviewed on 01-08-2019

Hugh M(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 We heard about this property when it was a very popular wedding venue (before going up for sale). The new owner, Diana, sold my now wife and me with her enthusiasm which made us feel excited and confident in planning our day. From the time we booked to the weekend of our event, the place seemed to look better with every visit. They constructed a cool pergola which made a great bar and viewing area overlooking the vineyard. They also did a ton of landscaping adding flowers along the pathways with lighting everywhere you looked. This venue is very versatile- it has a foresty feel but with vines in the background which made it perfect for the formal touches we added. It was a perfect fit for our guests who loved having the place all to ourselves. I can't imagine going anywhere else for an outdoor event- in Oregon OR California (ours was a Destination Wedding with family and friends flying in from all over to PDX). Best weekend ever!

If you’re looking for stunning photo opportunities, a beautiful, open outdoor space and all the needed conveniences of a traditional “venue” with the personalized appeal of a private estate, this is your place!!!I was a bridesmaid in a wedding held here this summer and I had an amazing time and loved that the owners of the venue had every detail you could think of covered and obviously took such pride in their home.I loved that the wedding felt exclusive and private, with no homes or other buildings in sight, but with the amenities rarely available at a home, like large multi-stall restrooms, plenty of parking and private rooms for the wedding parties to comfortably wait in before the ceremony or between events.We were close enough to downtown Portland to stay and enjoy the city during the wedding weekend but were able to take in the breathtaking scenery of Willamette Valley for the ceremony and reception. The entire wedding went off without a hitch (which I know is not an easy feat!) and I know that that had so much to do with how well organized and capable the venue owners and their team were.

I've got a great story to tell! After working as an \"Air Hostess,\" my husband and I renovated the coolest historic house in our hometown of Orange, CA; a wonderfully unique place to raise four children where I nurtured a love of all things vintage. We regularly celebrated community events in our \"antique\" Old Towne neighborhood but my dream always was to host weddings. Fortune smiled upon us when we chanced upon an enchanting Country Estate in the Willamette Valley; a stunning venue that we've had the privilege of reviving. La Bastide is truly a place where wedding dreams come true.
