A great way to get a beautiful location is to use one of the parks in your local area, and it's one of the best micro wedding or elopement ideas for a venue. Many city and county park systems are available for rent — you just have to know where to look for the rental info. With over 250 state parks to choose from, plus National Parks and Monuments, Oregon makes an excellent choice for couples looking for an epic outdoor wedding experience. Here are a few I found, and if your area isn’t listed, be sure to check out our guides linked in the beginning of the blog for our top tips for finding all the best hidden gems.
State and National Parks make great wedding venues for your wedding with 50 guests or less, especially for an outdoor wedding ceremony with forest, lake, or mountain views. Similar to local parks, be sure to secure the appropriate permits and respect the area.
One of the best ways to take advantage of these public spaces for your wedding is to hire an experienced elopement or micro wedding photographer from the area. The same goes for planning an Airbnb wedding. Often, wedding photographers who specialize in micro weddings or elopements also offer logistics and planning for small wedding groups. Here are a few I recommend:
When it comes to Airbnb and VRBO wedding venues, Oregon has a lot due to its coastal location and plethora of outdoor activities. I always recommend checking VRBO first for small wedding venues because their event policy is much more generous than Airbnb’s. Airbnb wedding venues can be found, but are usually best suited for elopements and tiny weddings with just a few guests. Here are a few solid choices for your micro wedding or elopement.
I think Airbnbs are perfect for elopements because they’re generally open to allowing “parties” as long as the guest count doesn’t exceed the home’s capacity. Just be sure to check in with the host before booking.
Whether you’re dreaming of a seaside ceremony, a rustic barn wedding, or something completely unique, Oregon has a wealth of small wedding venues to offer. With the state's natural beauty and variety of settings, you’re sure to find the perfect spot for your special day.
