Oregon Wedding Venue Spotlight: Brasada Ranch in Bend

I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it a million more: central Oregon is the best place for your wedding! Am I biased because I live here? Psh…maybe. 😉 All jokes aside, the Bend area has some wonderfully diverse options to fit all sorts of wedding vibes, whether you’re going for something low-key or a full-blown celebratory party experience! For a full-service wedding venue, I especially love Brasada Ranch. This resort will give you an entire weekend of celebration, instead of a one-day wedding! This blog is full of some of the best perks of having your wedding at Brasada Ranch.

About Brasada Ranch

Brasada Ranch is at the top of Conde Nast Traveler’s Best Resort in the Pacific Northwest list. Not that accolades like this mean everything, but this says a lot about the type of experience you’ll have if you get married here! They’ve been honored for being one of the best places to hold a wedding four years in a row. And, they’re a stellar honeymoon destination here in central Oregon! 

One of the coolest things about Brasada Ranch weddings is that you aren’t limited to just one ceremony venue at the resort. You can opt for a rustic vibe at The Barn, a ceremony with a wide open view at The Range, or go for a fully nature inspired day at Trestle Pond or Trestle Bridge. Even if you choose to hold your ceremony at one location, but still want to spend time at another to take portraits, everything is easily accessible here by walking or by taking a short golf cart ride. An Oregon wedding venue like Brasada Ranch that gives you more than one location option is the best way to go in my mind, because you have more opportunity to make your wedding really personal and special! 

All the Amenities!

Brasada Ranch offers catering! They have menus for your reception, bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, and brunch that you can check out! This is perfect for a multi-day wedding! The Ranch has you covered for your wedding reception, and to follow up with brunch the next day with either all your guests, or maybe just your wedding party! Even if your wedding is full of special traditions, extra touches like this are a way to make your day even more memorable. 

The resort has beautiful homes, cabins, and suites for all of your guests, too. Why not enjoy a vacation on top of celebrating such a joyous day?! They even have dog-friendly stay options, which you know I’m all about. I love seeing your dogs celebrate with you!! 

Why I Love Brasada Ranch Weddings

Listen, of course I love all the weddings I have the honor of photographing! But here’s why I dedicated an entire blog post to loving on Brasada Ranch: The atmosphere here is so low key and relaxing leading up to your big day! There’s opportunities to gather with everyone you love and truly turn your wedding into a weekend or multi-day shared experience with all the people who love you in one place. This is the perfect venue if you have lots of friends and family visiting. Or, if you need a central location for everyone spread across the state or country. 

Especially in light of the pandemic, gathering with family and friends has become an even more precious experience. Especially when it comes to important, life-changing events like your wedding! Brasada Ranch will do the heavy lifting for you when it comes to coordinating your wedding. You get to sit back with your loved ones and savor the moment. We all dream of a stress-free wedding planning experience — what could be better?!
