If you want to throw a truly extravagant wedding, you might think of a best payout online casino Canada . Aside from the fact that it's a huge party venue, casinos are also great backdrops for your photographs. You can hold your ceremony inside or outdoors and take advantage of the many different spaces available. Most casinos have in-house catering and banquet services and they offer a number of different wedding packages. This is one option for a casino wedding, and there are plenty of wedding venues in Las Vegas to choose from. If you're planning your wedding in a casino, you'll be able to choose a beautiful venue that's right for your big day. The casino's courtyard is an ideal location for a wedding and you can make it even more unique by adding signature dishes from the casinos. In addition to the traditional ceremony, the wedding reception will include an elegant black-tie reception, where the guests will wear black-tie attire and play poker and mahjong. When you choose a casino for your big day, you can choose the decor and colors that match the theme. For example, you can choose traditional casino colors to give your wedding a more authentic feel, but be careful about going overboard with these. If you do decide to have your wedding in a casino, be sure to pick a place that has a luxurious interior and a lively atmosphere.

GorgeWedding.com made it easy for me to plan my Hood River Wedding from my home in Louisville, KY. I was able to choose a venue and florist without having to fly out prior to our wedding.
I knew the Gorge was known for its stunning wedding venues, but GorgeWedding.com, made it easy for me to see all of the options one one website. It saved me hours of browsing and ultimately helped me find the perfect location.
Truly an amazing experience! This location is breathtaking and the staff made me feel like I was family. I will make vagabond a family tradition forever! Thank you for the honor of being the first wedding there! It was an absolute dream come true! I will never forget having bald eagles flying over the gorge as I'm walking down this magnificent isle to the man of my dreams! Brides don't wait a second longer to book this venue!!! It was perfect and accommodated ALL of my family with rooms. From the bottom of my heart thank you all!!"
A BIG thank you for being such a big part of our special wedding day! You did such an amazing job with everything. Thanks for all the special memories.
My floral arrangements and flowers for my wedding party were simply stunning! Alicia took my ideas and created unique designs that were better than I could have ever imagined! We had a destination wedding and Alicia was so great to work with every step of the way. She made sure she understood my vision and used her touch to bring it to life. Saying goodbye to ll my floral arrangements was one of the hardest parts of having a destination wedding, I wanted to take them all home with me! I would recommend Alicia to all brides. She will work with your budget to create magic! Thank you Alicia!
The most beautiful flowers ever!!! My wedding was absolutely gorgeous thanks to Alicia!! We had never met before, because I live in California, and got married up north, so all of our conversations were done over email, and she captured everything I wanted and exceeded my expectations. I am still in amazement. By far my favorite part of the look of the wedding. Thank you Alicia!!!
Alicia was amazing, the best florist Id say in the NW. She's extremely talented and has brilliant ideas to work with the theme of your wedding! I had a vintage 20s wedding and she came up with a scheme, that completely resembled the wedding colors and ensemble that I was looking for. The quality was great, better than I had imagined possible. She's prompt, willing to work with your design, and detail oriented. I would highly recommend her services!
I'm so happy that I had Alicia do my flowers- they were beautiful and really tied our fall wedding theme together. I wanted fall seasonal flowers, lots of color and out of the ordinary/ eclectic flowers- She nailed my vision without me being able to express to her, she read my mind and was very creative. I wanted a lot of different elements in our flowers and she delivered- several different boutineers, corasages and centerpieces.She was also very budget conscious, which I greatly appreciated and counld not believe the flowers i got with my budget. I couldn't be happier with her designs, quality and serivce. I would definitely recommend Floral Design by Alicia!

"Bethany: thank you so much for all you did. You truly saved us from the brink of disaster."
"Bethany went above and beyond for us at multiple points throughout the evening."
We wanted to thank you, again, for doing such a great job. We couldn't have been happier with the ceremony and the reception. We wanted to have a joyful evening and you provided a perfect soundtrack. We've received a number of compliments from our guests about the reception and I think a good time was had by all. We appreciated the "front-end" help too.
Thank you Heather for helping us put together such an incredible and unforgettable wedding!
Thank you once again for all your help in planing and coordinating our "Big Day"! Everything ran so smoothly that Erik and I really just got to enjoy every moment of our wedding day. Many, many thanks!
Thank you so much for all the work you put into our wedding. You were so patient and helpful during the planning process and a joy to work with. We were so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much for working with us and our other vendors to help make our day so perfect!
You were such a blessing at Sarah and Will's wedding! Thank you for giving of yourself so generously and working so joyfully and patiently with everyone. Thank you for such a beautiful memory!!
We booked Chris for our wedding in March 2016, and couldn’t have been any happier. Scheduling and logistics were east to work out, and he was punctual, courteous, professional, and a lot of fun. Chris worked with us ahead of time to get a sense of our taste in music and gather our specific requests. He has an expansive vinyl collection and did a great job of matching the music to the mood through the various phases of the evening (cocktail hour, dinner, cake-cutting, dancing). When it came time to dance, he did a great job of reading the crown and playing songs to keep people of all ages on the dance floor. When our guests had requests, he obtained them digitally quickly to keep everyone happy. The music volume was always appropriate for the space and setting. When the evening was through, he packed up everything quickly, being respectful of the venue and their closing time. We were worried about choosing a DJ, because that’s the only wedding vendor where you really don’t get an opportunity to sample their product / service before the big day. Chris put us at ease, and really helped make our wedding a fun and memorable time for us and our guests. Thanks Chris!
Chris was a fantastic DJ. He was always professional while providing advice and support throughout the planning process. The ceremony was outside and the remainder inside and he had no problem with the major changes in party location. The music was central to the ceremony of course, as well as background dinner music, the Dad-daughter / Mother-son dance and the cutting of the cake. Chris was incredibly flexible, had plenty available in his song library for requests from all ages of guests, and provided a fabulous dance party for all!
Thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing! We thought the food was incredible and had many guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they've ever had!
Coming from Chicago with a catering background, we had high expectations when it came to our wedding caterer. Celilo's delicious, local & colorful fare completely wowed our guests and their service was flawless. It was easy and lovely working with Heather, Ben and the rest of the team.
We are so very thankful to all of you for catering our wedding! Our guests raved about the food and the service. You all truly made our day one we will never forget and we cannot thank you enough!
We were so happy with how everything turned out. Many guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding and my dad, a lifelong fisherman said the salmon was the best he's had. Thank you so much for your patience and help during the planning process, you were a joy to work with.
We used Twist for our wedding on October 1st and we couldn't have been happier! They were super easy to work with during the planning process and the bartenders were friendly and professional. All of our guests had a great time and the our two signature drinks were a big hit. Thank you to everyone at Twist for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful! :)
Our wedding was not only amazing but the service provided by TWISTwas outstanding (to say the least)! The servers were extremely friendly, professional and very easy to work with. Stephanie did everything possible to provide us with what we wanted and was very flexible. If you are planning a wedding please know that by using TWIST you will receive the highest quality of service available out there. Again, thank you Stephanie and crew for all you did for us; it's much appreciated. Best and CHEERS!
absolute excellence! Terrific value!
absolute excellence! Terrific value!
The Twist team was extremely friendly and helpful. They really worked to provide what you were looking for and then provided an extremely thorough tasting (which was also a blast!). The staff who attended the wedding were fantastic and very friendly. They even walked around handing people water who had done a fair amount of dancing! I would definitely recommend Twist to anyone looking for excellent communication, great service and a good time!
I had my wedding in this beautiful historic venue and it was an honor to celebrate in this place of local significance. The people who run, operate, and advocate for this venue are hard-working and awesome!
I love the beautiful wood floors at the Civic; makes for great dancing and a wonderful place to gather with friends!
Perfect Pour is one of our trusted and preferred vendors that we would recommend anytime! We are very particular with our preferred list as we want only the best for our Brides and Grooms. Not only do they do an incredible job during the event, but they coordinate with all the other vendors before the event to make sure nothing is left unturned. They are professional and have super friendly staff that interacts beautifully with our guests. Definitely recommend!
I worked with Mari-Beth at Perfect Pour for my wedding at the Crag Rat Hug last Sept. She was wonderful to work with. Very professional and went out of her way to try and accommodate our requests to use beverages from our local breweries. We used their wine barrel bar for event and it was beautiful. If you're looking for professional, friendly, and affordable bartending, I'd highly recommend these ladies!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Christie and the team at Perfect Pour for our wedding at Tin Roof Barn. I am a professional event planner myself, and the level of amazing customer service, attention to detail, and flawless execution exceeded my (very high) expectations! From the pre-planning, in-person meetings, and wedding day services, my mind was at ease knowing our guests were having a festive time and feeling welcomed by the Perfect Pour team. Would highly recommend their services to any wedding or event that needs bartending services, and I am hopeful that I have the opportunity to work with them again! Thank you Christie! Awesome job!
My husband and I can not say enough good things about this company. We just got married in Hood River and Mark and his team went above our expectations. The food was so delicious- crab cakes, pear goat cheese flatbread, fresh salad with pears, salmon and island pork, it was all soooo good! They cooked on property for us with their own portable kitchen set up - which was great for our outdoor wedding. Also his team of servers and bartender were extremely professional and cordial. They executed everything seamlessly. I have managed restaurants for years prior but am new to Oregon and again I can not say how impressed I was with this company
Great food made with the most fresh ingredients. I would recommend Ahi's catering to everyone.
Mark and his staff catered our Wedding this past August in Hood River, Oregon. We didn't hire a wedding planner and as we soon learned, planning a wedding is hard. We knew the 3 most important things were the food & drink, the entertainment and the venue. Mark and his team handled the food and the bartending for us. Out of all the things we had to coordinate, working with AHI was one of the easiest and seamless parts of our process. Mark and Ashley gave us (and 3 of our family members who tagged along at the last minute) a wonderful preview of the food and helped us craft a menu that fit into our very tight budget. He accommodated multiple nut allergies, vegans, vegetarians, kids, and even a few surprise guests without a hint of an issue. Throughout our wedding planning process my Wife and I learned that we seriously dislike event planning, but I can honestly say that I almost want to plan another event just to get to work with AHI again. They're cool people and the food is fresh, delicious, and positively memorable. Thank you guys for being such a solid and excellent part of our wedding day!
Mark and his team are exceptional! From our first meeting, we knew that he was the perfect caterer for our wedding. He is trustworthy, honest and his food is AMAZING. We highly recommend him!
Great fresh and original food. Professional service. I have never been disappointed by anything my family has had from here. Family friendly. Truly a hidden gem of the gorge.
The first time I attended an event at Whispering Waters Farm, it was a wedding in July. It was absolutely gorgeous! The ceremony took place next to the river and it really could not have been more beautiful and serene. The event coordinators went out of their way to accommodate the bride and groom to make their day a very special one! I would highly recommend Whispering Waters Farm for your next special occasion!
Whispering Waters Farm is a stunning location in Washington. The farm has a gorgeous view of Mount Hood, a great barn for indoor time, and a lovely creek for adults and kids to play in:). Which we did!:). I received so many compliments on how beautiful the location was and how relaxed the whole event was. It was even better than I dreamed it could be. We elected to have our wedding down by the creek, in a shaded meadow. There was a raised platform for dancing and facilities for the guests to use. John has a BBQ and a "kitchen on wheels," which is a brilliant mobile kitchen on a flatbed trailer. We hung giant red and white paper lanterns in the trees and it couldn't have looked better. John brought our supplies and decorations down on trucks and trailers, which was fairly easy. The part that my guests loved the most was that our guests parked higher up on the property and John brought them down to the creek in a white hay wagon that he pulled behind his tractor. They loved it and it made my day special and unique. My day was perfect at Whispering Waters Farm. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We wanted a lovely location and an event where both we and our guests could sit back and enjoy each other, and that's exactly what we got. I can't thank John and Andra enough!
A must visit !! Gifts for all occasions. Olive Oils and Vinegars of all sorts, Salts, Teas, Spices and lots more. Super helpful sales staff... packaged my purchase so that it was gift-ready perfect. I'll most definitely be back!
What a fun shop! I love bringing friends to check out the spices, teas, oils and vinegars to sample, cooking utensils, etc. I attended the Holiday Drink Mixing workshop & had the very best time. We got to sample the mixes we then made. We each left with beautiful jars filled with a variety of tasty mixes complete with gift tags & instructions to keep or give as gifts, recipes to make at home, and new friends. Janice has lined up so many fun events and has partnered with other small businesses in town!

One of the most scenic views of the Columbia Gorge
Jen was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer in the Gorge! We took our engagement pictures with Jen before the wedding to get to know her a little better before the big day --- I highly recommend! Jen is personable, easy-going, professional, non-intrusive, and gives enough direction to produce fantastic photos. My husband was very hesitant about being in front of the camera but Jen quickly made him feel comfortable. We planned our Gorge wedding while living in Seattle, and Jen could not have made it easier on us! On top of how wonderful she was to work with, the photos (engagement and wedding) were absolutely stunning! All of our family and friends have told us they are some of the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen. On the day of the wedding, she brought her second shooter, Jim, and he was also fantastic to work with. They were never in our faces interrupting our time but still managed to capture all of the best moments. We snuck away for 20 minutes and that was the only time we were separated from our guests! If you are on the lookout for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Jen. It was special for us to support a local photographer in a place that is so near and dear to my husband and I --- completely worth it!
Jen was amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations. She was kind, professional, passionate about her craft and easy to work with. She was quick to respond to our emails and answered all our questions. Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful! We have received tons of compliments on them. They are for sure our favorite keepsake! :) I would highly recommend GorgeUs Photography to anyone in the area!
Jennifer was organized and wonderful to work with! She captured every detail and special moment from the wedding preparations to the sparker exit. The photographs are absolutely stunning , with the couples love for each other shining through in each picture. Jennifer is an incredibly talented photographer and a lovely person as well. She is an absolute star and I wholeheartedly recommend her!
Thank you Jen! The photos from our wedding are stunning and we couldn't be more pleased. You definitely have the photographers eye and captured so many amazing moments throughout our special day. We received so many compliments from family and friends during the sneak peek preview and the final results were equally impressive. :) We also really appreciated your guidance and style throughout the whole process and made all that picture taking so much fun! You were a professional throughout the whole process and your attention to detail is unparalleled. You always went above and beyond with every ask that we had and can't thank you enough. From the moment we met Jen during the planning process we knew she would be the one. If you are a prospective couple looking for a wedding photographer in and around Hood River, we would recommend Jen (Gorge-Us Photography) in a heartbeat!!!!
"Ryan is amazing! He was so helpful with planning music, giving some suggestions, reading the crowd and choosing the best music. He went above and beyond our expectations. We had so much fun at our wedding and it was definitely a direct result from his choice of awesome music! I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"
"Wow, thank you so much for this weekend! We have gotten so many compliments about you from our guests. Austin and I are so impressed and we had the best time dancing with everyone. Again, thank you for the magical weekend, it's a great feeling when you can't think of a single thing you would change about your wedding!"
"Ryan is seriously a gem! An incredible musician and great hype-man DJ. We had the pleasure of booking him for our wedding in Hood River and made all the music aspects stress-free! We had some very specific song versions and timing requests and he nailed every single one! Can't sing his praises enough!"
