“What a fun experience! I am the Life Enrichment Director for The Arbor and we took our residents on a great adventure thanks to farmer DJ! We got to feed, hold, pet, and learn about the animals they have on the farm. Due to walking restrictions, wheelchairs, and walkers he was nice enough to bring he animals to us! He even let us have some Ostrich jerky. Such a lovely experience!”
“We rented the space June 2024 for our son’s high school graduation. The rates were $75 an hour plus $50 for the liquor license- only beer, champagne and wine is allowed to be served- you do not need a licensed bartender.
The space is very large. It can easily hold up to 100 guests between the upstairs and downstairs. We held our party upstairs and used the downstairs as a prep area.
Upstairs the space has 4 large sit down tables with chairs that can easily seat 8 guests per table. There are also 6 rectangle fold up tables that we used to set up the food. There is also a small stage where we set up a Photo Booth.
There are several outlets if you need to plug electrical items in but they are spaced far apart so depending on your needs you may need to bring an extension cord. We used the outlets for our electrical food warmers for our buffet.
There is air conditioning downstairs and while there may be air conditioning upstairs it doesn’t feel like it. The space only has two fans that operate so it got warm but we kept the doors and windows open for airflow and on an 80 degree day it was manageable.
The kitchen downstairs is really large. There is a refrigerator, oven with a stove top and microwave. You will need to bring your own cooking equipment and utensils.
There is a lot of parking around the facility and in the neighborhood. This was important to us because we had 50 guests who were all driving themselves to the event.
Items we brought for our party:
1) Bluetooth speaker for music that we set up to our Spotify list. There is no WiFi.
2) There is a tv but I don’t think it works so we brought a small tv so our guests could watch the Beavers game. My husband connected it through his phone.
3) We rented a corn hole set through Party Factory and there was plenty of space inside to set it up. We also brought our own giant Jenga. We also rented some tall cocktail tables for $11 a piece through Party Factory in Oregon City- it’s two exits from the event space.
Tips:
The doors are tricky to open and lock. There is a hex key you need to put into the door bar to lock the bar in place so your guests don’t get locked out. It’s hanging up on the wall next to the door.
I highly recommend this place for an event especially at the price point it’s rented out through the city of West Linn.”
“We arranged to have a surprise engagement party for our daughter at Tumwater Vineyards. The winery grounds and building are beautiful, spacious, and welcoming. Becky was a wonderful coordinator and helpful in every facet of this event. The luncheon was delicious and the price was reasonable. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice to have Tumwater host this momentous family event.”
“I have had the pleasure of coordinating weddings at The Oregon Golf Club as a wedding planner, and it is a breeze and a delight! Their sales staff is beyond helpful with coordinating their inhouse catering and bar. Their day of staff was 10/10 in making sure everything was on time and ready to go for the couple. Their ceremony and reception spaces are beautiful and always picture ready! Can't wait to be back!”
