"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."

"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 Notes
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.
If you choose to purchase alcohol and hire an approved bar tender for pour service only, you'll need to purchase a Washington State banquet permit for the day of your event. The cost is approximately $10.

"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!"
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.
Every Friday, Saturday & Sunday Experience comes with a designated one hour rehearsal the Thursday before your wedding. An added incentive for all Friday bookings is the opportunity to bring wedding day decorations and necessities and store them overnight at the venue. For security reasons, we just ask that no valuable (dresses, purses etc) be left overnight.
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. In the months leading up to their wedding, our couples receive VIP access to our Open House events 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
04
BRINGING A PICNIC FOR SOME MUCH DESERVED "US" TIME TO RELAX & REJUVENATE
05
RELIVE THE MOMENT ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY!
BRING A PICNIC AND CELEBRATE ON THE SHORES WHERE IT ALL HAPPENED.
Open House Events are scheduled in advance throughout the months leading up to your wedding & do require a reservation.
We'll have light refreshments & picnic tables set up throughout the venue (weather permitting) so you can brainstorm & envision on site. You'll feel like part of the family and probably even meet more of us too.
There is no limit to the amount of Open House Events you can attend!
"Grand Pend Oreille Wedding venue was amazing. Peggy who owns the venue is so personal but professional as well. We really loved working with her. She was extremely accommodating and made the wedding process that much easier. The venue is beautiful and right on the river. We loved that there was the option of two sites. One for the ceremony and one for the reception. It was an amazing day with memories we will cherish forever."
