    We had our wedding at Applegate River Bend, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The setting is absolutely breathtaking—right along the Applegate River with beautiful trees, and scenery. What really stood out to us was how versatile the venue is. There’s plenty of room for planning the ceremony, reception, and dancing! Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous the scenery was. The river backdrop made for incredible photos, especially during sunset. It felt very dreamy and peaceful. If you're looking for a cheaper venue option with that gives you a memorable outdoor wedding experience, this is a perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day.

    We had our wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful. The property sits right along the Applegate River with stunning mountains as the backdrop, which made the setting feel so special. There’s also a huge maple tree that created the most gorgeous focal point, and the whole property has so many amazing spots for photos. The acreage is spacious and the gated property made everything feel really private and relaxed for our guests. But what truly made the experience so great were the owners. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure our day was perfect. They were easy to work with, communicated well, and worked seamlessly with the vendors which made the whole day run so smoothly. We ended the night dancing and celebrating with everyone and it was such a fun, unforgettable evening. We’re so grateful we chose this venue it’s such a special place with truly wonderful people running it.
