Are you dreaming of a European inspired wedding that’s pure magic without needing a passport? Ya girl’s got you covered! We’re about to go on a virtual tour of some of Oregon’s most dreamy venues that’ll make your heart flutter with their European charm. From Villa Catalana Cellars to Chateau de Harpe, each location brings its own unique vibe to the table. 

First on the European Inspired Wedding Venues List..

I had the pleasure of shooting at the gorgeous Villa Catalana Cellars in Oregon City, Oregon! This venue is an absolute gem that whisks you straight to the romance of Tuscany. With lush gardens, charming pergolas, and rustic indoor spaces exuding old-world charm, it’s a fairytale setting for your European-inspired wedding.

Let’s talk about perks, because we all love those, am I right? You’ll have the entire vineyard as your backdrop, access to the beautiful garden and adjacent terraces. The Conservatory Tasting Room and The Hermitage are available for a changing room, bar, etc. A spacious Grape Arbor eliminates the need for a large tent, accommodating around 150 guests. They can host up to 200 guests but charge per person after 150! The price is competitive, making it a great choice for couples seeking rustic elegance and Tuscan romance for their intimate and timeless wedding day. Take inspiration from these photos to paint a vision of your perfect European-inspired wedding day!

Other Great Venue Options 

Next up is Black Walnut Inn & Vineyard in Dundee, an absolute paradise for wine lovers with a European twist. Imagine savoring fine wines while soaking in vineyard views straight from the heart of the French countryside. Ooh la la!

What’s to love? Wine tasting, vineyard tours, and an elegant on-site restaurant for intimate gatherings. With amenities like property trails, fire pit patios, farm animal encounters, and a fitness center, there’s something for everyone to love. When it’s time to unwind, enjoy comfy, luxe rooms for you and your guests to relax in style. Pricing varies based on your event’s size and preferences, but it’s all about that boutique experience with elegance. The vibe is tranquility and class, making it ideal for couples who appreciate fine wine and European estate vibes. A more intimate venue, the Black Walnut has the capacity to host up to 50 guests for social events.
