Wedding at Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum

Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum Weddings: A Venue Like No Other

People from all over the world come to the Columbia River Gorge to celebrate their special day. This rugged gorge, chiseled by history, river, and time, affords a spectacular backdrop to special events, especially weddings. Nestled into 54 acres of grounds, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum offers a panoramic vista of the Columbia River and surrounding landscape – truly a picturesque setting waiting to compliment your unforgettable ceremony. Let us handle the details so you and your guests can be present in the moment to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our award-winning building’s architectural design has the unique advantage of bringing the outdoors inside. The Meyer Memorial River Gallery creates a memory from the moment you step inside. The basalt rock walls and locally-sourced, raw Douglas fir timber columns perfectly frame the 30-foot wall of windows, while views of the rolling Klickitat Hills and the Columbia River complete the space. The River Gallery perfectly blends rustic charm and stunning elegance for your ceremony’s altar and isle.

What sets us apart from other Gorge venues?

As a non-profit, we’re committed to being affordable, upfront, and transparent about costs. Furthermore, our facility rental includes many extras that most venues upcharge for. With us, you receive day-of venue coordination, dining and cocktail tables, chairs, linens, bar service, a podium, a portable screen, a digital projector, and a laptop.

You also have access to all event spaces and exhibits! For instance, you can watch a movie or slideshow in our theater that seats 140 people, let the kiddos play in our Explorer Room, and take stunning photos around our pond trail. We also include the use of our classroom the day before, the day of, and the day after your wedding! This space is excellent for storing decorations or dressing for the big day.

Whether you want a small, intimate gathering or a large, formal gala, we can help you plan an event that fits your budget and vision for your perfect day.
