"This venue was AMAZING! Not only was it absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for, but Peggy, the owner, was a dream to work with! The first time I walked onto the property, which was wedding day, I was blown away by house beautiful and functional it was! The arbor we got married in front of was so pretty and the view behind it was stunning. The newly done barn for the reception was incredible! It was already decorated with timelessly beautiful decor and lighting which was a relief! The sound system was great and easy to use and the barrel bar where we set up our buffet was so unique! It was a magical day and I can not recommend this venue enough."

Grab your hiking boots for an Adventure Session and explore over 350 acres of pristine wilderness just across the road full of epic photo spots you'll think came from an adventure elopement.

"Peggy and the whole team at Grand Pend Oreille Weddings are incredible. Planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic was chaotic, but Peggy was there every step of the way answering questions, finding out information and making sure our day went off without a hitch. On top of that, this venue is absolutely stunning. From the waterfront to the barn - it is the most elegant, backyard venue we could of asked for."

Important Note
We do require a $1M event insurance policy with Grand Pend Oreille Weddings listed as additionally insured. We've partnered with a fantastic local insurance company that covers both the couple and their parents. The cost is
approximately $220.
Contract terms and pricing are subject to change at any time. Your contract rate and terms will be based on the date the contract is written, not the date of the website visit, inquiry or tour.

We believe the planning process is a journey to be enjoyed.
That's why we give our couples so much time on our shores in the months leading up to their event not only to plan, but to have a place to
retreat...
relax...
& rejuvenate.
All Saturday Experiences include a five hour rental the Friday before your wedding.
This is your time for rehearsal, final preparations, bringing decorations and even to cater a rehearsal dinner on site. We will have a room dedicated for you to stage all your wedding day belongings. For security purposes, we ask that no valuables (ie: purses, dresses, keys etc.) be stored at the venue overnight.
All Sunday Experiences include a four hour rental the Thursday before your wedding.
This is your time for a rehearsal, final preparations and the option to cater a rehearsal dinner on site. Since there will likely be a wedding between your rehearsal and your wedding day, we start your venue rental an hour earlier on Sunday to give you time to bring your decorations and wedding necessities.
We understand that giving our couples many opportunities to plan and envision their wedding day on-site is essential. Plus, there’s something truly calming about sitting on the shoreline watching the eagles soar overhead - it’s just something you have to experience to understand. Once you do, you’ll be hooked! So in the months leading up to their wedding, our couples can RSVP to numerous scheduled on-site Planning Sessions to attend for any of the following reasons:

01
BRINGING FAMILY & FRIENDS TO VIEW THE VENUE
02
BRINGING A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR AN ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SHOOT
03
BRAINSTORMING LAYOUT & ARRANGEMENT OPTIONS WITH YOUR WEDDING COORDINATOR
03
BRINGING A PICNIC FOR SOME MUCH DESERVED "US" TIME TO RELAX & REJUVENATE
Planning Sessions are scheduled months in advance so make sure to plan ahead - they are an experience all on its own, definitely one you don’t want to miss. There is no limit to the amount of Planning Sessions you can attend!




"The best wedding experience thanks to Peggy! Made the wedding day go by with ease. Great location with gorgeous back drop for photos. Take time to look at this venue, worth it!"
