Quick Takeaway for Couples Planning a Smith Rock or Crooked River Ranch Wedding

If you’re planning a multi location wedding day and incorporating Smith Rock, transportation can make the day feel much smoother for guests. Crooked River Ranch Cabins was a great option for keeping lodging and reception all in one place while being only about a 20 minute drive from the Smith Rock Amphitheater. Having vendors familiar with Central Oregon made the entire day flow seamlessly.

Crooked River Cabins = Rooms and cabins for everyone, 20 minutes to Smith Rock, views of the basalt cliffs and golf course, large lawn area for games, gazebo, amazing sunsets!

Bend Party Rentals = Tent, tables, chairs, dance floors, and barrels.

A tent was a game changer with the cathedral window sidewalls and barrels. They also provided the tables, chairs, and more to help customize the reception.

Bleu Bite Catering = made food and drinks easy with a large menu selection, including vegetarian options, plus a full service bar. The catering staff was top notch along with the banquet.

Sunset Sound Events = Run by DJ Chris, one of our favorite DJs, and someone we’ve worked alongside for years. He always keeps the dance floor moving while making the flow of the evening feel effortless.

Back Country Comfort Trailers = Perfect for the wedding. They kept guests comfortable, elevated the overall experience, and were especially helpful for an outdoor Central Oregon celebration where extra amenities were limited.

The entire day came together beautifully thanks to an incredible vendor team:
