Beautiful wedding venues in Bend are popping up all the time. The rugged beauty of the high desert of central Oregon is becoming more and more popular as a backdrop for Elopements and weddings. Just over the Cascade Mountain Range from Portland, they world opens up into the vast, sunny, sage-covered valley of Sisters, Madras, and Bend. I’ve listed a few of my favorite wedding venues in the Bend area (along with some cute airbnbs!) for any couple planning an Oregon desert wedding.

Brasada Ranch

Brasanda Ranch is a year-round venue that is perfect for intimate weddings and larger weddings alike. With a gorgeous high desert climate, you’ll likely be drenched in sunlight and have sweeping mountain views for miles. They have both indoor and outdoor settings. The ceremony location looks out over the surrounding valley The outdoor patio is equipped with lovely string lights for beautiful evening scenes.

Loloma lodge

Loloma Lodge is a wooded wonderland all year round, but it really shines in Autumn when every inch of the venue is covered in red and gold foliage. Guests can stay on-site in the campground, in one of the cute A-frame tiny cabins, or in the lodge. There are several ceremony sites to choose from, including a site at the river’s edge. The dinner and reception area is located next to one of the historic guesthouses. Just gorgeous. Wonderful for mid-sized weddings.
