“An Absolutely Magical Wedding Experience at The Griffin House

As the mother of the bride, I can honestly say that The Griffin House exceeded every expectation we had for our daughter’s wedding. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were somewhere truly special.

The setting is breathtaking, but what makes The Griffin House exceptional is so much more than its beautiful surroundings. The entire experience felt thoughtful, personal, and incredibly well cared for. The Director of Weddings & Events (Courtney Black Russ) was wonderful—professional, attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. As a mother, that meant the world to me. Instead of worrying about the details, my husband and I were able to relax, be present, and fully enjoy one of the most important days of my daughter’s life. I specifically recall my husband in need of a bandage before the reception and a few minutes later, Courtney showed up with a variety of bandages.

Every detail came together beautifully, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, intimate, and unforgettable. Our family and guests from the East Coast could not stop talking about how beautiful the property was and what a wonderful experience it was to celebrate there.

Most importantly, The Griffin House gave us something priceless: the ability to simply be together and celebrate our daughter and her new husband without the stress that can come with hosting such an important event.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Griffin House to anyone looking for a truly extraordinary wedding venue. It was the perfect setting for our daughter’s wedding, and we will always have the most wonderful memories of celebrating there. Thank you to everyone at The Griffin House, especially Courtney, for helping make our daughter’s wedding day everything we dreamed it would be—and more!”

“Great music venue year round. The outside stage area used during warm weather is epic. The indoor room is spacious and classy, with wonderful wooden floors. Great staff, great vibes.”

“Beautiful historic hotel with incredible views of the Columbia River Gorge\\. The grounds and waterfall are stunning, and the location was perfect for exploring Hood River and the surrounding waterfalls\\. The hotel has lots of charm, although some areas could use a little updating\\. Overall, a memorable and relaxing stay”

“Even though there is no indoor dining the food was amazing! It is a diverse menu... satisfying as a normal eater and my pescatarian menu with their seafood entrees.”
