House on Metolius has a venue to fit every couple’s vision, featuring four ceremony and reception sites that you’ll love: 

Meadow by the Metolius River

The most popular ceremony site, with to-die-for views of Mt. Jefferson in the background.

Main house lawn + Eleanor’s cabin lawns

Both great options if you want to be a bit more protected from the sun; the ponderosa pines on these lawns are huge and offer plenty of natural shade.

Main house + adjoining patio

The patio off of the main house overlooks the river, and is the venue’s largest event space (can fit up to 180 people for a reception). 

No matter where you end up exchanging your vows and celebrating, all of House on Metolius’ spaces flow super well + allow guests to mingle comfortably. Pro tip: if your wedding is in the summer, plan your festivities around the dreamyyy early evening & sunset lighting that this venue gets.

Perfect for future family trips or getaways!

Finally, House on Metolius doubles as both a wedding venue AND your newest favorite vacation destination. It’s a place you’ll want to return to over and over again to re-live all the beautiful memories, and to create new ones!

The connection you feel to this place won’t disappear when you leave after the wedding—it’ll be something you cherish for many years to come. Especially if you come back to visit during different seasons of your lives 🤍
