Small weddings overlooking the ocean

WildSpring is a lovely place for small weddings and commitment ceremonies.

If you're planning a more simple event and would like a peaceful, naturally beautiful environment, WildSpring is for you. The trees will feel like witnesses, the ocean seems to bless the union, and families and friends have room to spend time with each other and celebrate your new life path.

Weddings can be scheduled for guests staying at WildSpring from October through mid-May, outside of holiday weekends.

We can help you arrange for everything you need, including catering for a reception/dinner, flowers, photographer, decorations, cake and officiant.

(It's important for you to know, however that if you're looking for a more formal, traditional ceremony and reception/dinner, you would not be satisfied with WildSpring's capabilities. We're very small, and in a town of 1200 people, which limits what we can create for you.)

Lodging accommodations
We can accommodate 16 people among five cabins.

Catering
We can have your meals catered here or arrange for group meals at local restaurants. You can also use the facilities to prepare your own meals.

We start each day with our breakfast buffet suited to your preferences in the Guest Hall overlooking the ocean.

We can also provide wines and champagne at below-retail prices.

Unique wedding gifts and favors
Check out our Objets d'Heart for beautiful, hand-crafted hearts made of vintage and designer jewelry. They can be customized to your color palette and preferences and make perfect favors and gifts to commemorate this day.

How to get an Oregon wedding license You can learn all about Oregon requirements here, including how to obtain a license by mail.

CHARGES
Weddings are for WildSpring guests, and there are two charges for weddings: Lodging Charges and Service Charges.

Lodging Charges will be determined based on your party - how many and how long you're staying. In order to handle both the ceremony and reception/dinner, weddings require booking the entire property for a two-day stay. We can discuss exceptions to very small ceremonies only (please see below for additional considerations). Click Group Rates for lodging charges.

Service Charges vary according to your plans and they include use of our facilities, working with you to plan, manage and clean up your events:

If you have a reception/dinner here, the wedding service charge is $1200. This includes helping develop and facilitate your event, including gathering information, discussing options, planning and making arrangements with you prior to the wedding, working with caterer, florist, photographer, music and officiant as necessary, and to handle set up and cleanup. The Guest Hall's existing furniture will be used. Decorating is not included, and would depend on what you would like.

We can serve up to 16 people for dinner/reception. There will be a $20 surcharge for anyone coming here who is not staying at WildSpring.

If you have just a ceremony and no reception dinner, the wedding service charge is $500. This includes helping develop and facilitate your ceremony, including discussing options, planning and making arrangements with you prior to the wedding, working with florist, photographer, music and officiant as necessary, and to handle setting up and breaking down the chairs and cleanup. Decorating is not included, and would depend on what you would like.

We can have up to 16 people for the ceremony. There will be a $5 surcharge for anyone coming here who is not staying at WildSpring.

Plus, like all small groups, there will be a service charge on the other days of your stay, depending on use of our facilities and how much assistance you need to plan, develop, set up and clean up for group use of the faciities, such as group meals and gatherings. This will be a minimum of $100/day, up to $500/day...though normally there is no charge for the last day since we take care of breakfast for your group.

If you do not take the entire property, we will have to discuss the impact of your plans on other guests - you will have to share the common facilities with everyone here and work around our normal daily schedule. There will still be a service rcharge to cover any planning, development and management of your event, minimum $175. This must be for a very small ceremony, with only a few people, and no reception/dinner. There will also be a $5 surcharge for anyone coming here who is not staying at WildSpring.

We can provide you a list of various third-party options in this area - such as caterers, florists, photographers, etc - that we have experience with and can discuss the merits of each. If we handle arrangements - helping plan what they will do for you, bringing that info to you for approval - and handle payment ourselves, we will add 20% to their charge. If you deal wiith them and pay them directly, we add nothing (we will work with them to coordinate their efforts here of course). You are welcome to bring your own chef, wine, flowers, etc.

Reservations & Cancellations
A 50% deposit is required when making reservations for groups. For cancellation more than 30 days before arrival date, we will refund half your deposit. No refunds for cancellations within 30 days before arrival date. Group rate will not change due to individual cancellations less than 10 days before the event.

Children, smoking and pets
While our policy is a minimum age for children of 13, we allow very mature children a few years younger (but not below the age of 8). We will accept infants if a group is taking the entire property, and they are not yet out of the crib. Our cabins are filled with art and antiques that make it impossible for us to child-proof against toddlers or even crawling babies. Infants would be an additional $15/day. In addition, we are a completely non-smoking facility and do not allow guest pets. There will be no exceptions to these issues.

Rates and policies are subject to change at any time without notice.
