A Note for the Newly Engaged
Congratulations on your engagement!
We're so glad you found us here at River Run Lodge!
If you are here, you're most likely looking for your dream wedding venue highlighting Central Oregon's natural beauty where you and your
guests can celebrate together and leave the heavy lifting to someone else.
Picture your ceremony high atop the canyon cliffs overlooking the Deschutes River or your golden hour photos with the Cascade
Mountains as your backdrop!
When you add our convenient location, access to overnight accommodations and modern amenities, we know you'll be as excited as we are
to say I do at River Run Lodge!

About the Lodge
A High Desert Venue Built on Hospitality
River Run Lodge overlooks the Deschutes River in Central Oregon's high desert — a setting that never gets old. Canyon walls rise dramatically on all sides, views of Mt. Jefferson on the horizon, and the river runs serenely below it all.
We're an event venue that takes pride in being genuinely helpful. Our team has built a reputation for being responsive, creative, and easygoing to work with. Couples consistently tell us the experience felt relaxed and personal, not transactional. That's exactly what we're going for.
Our venue is full-service by design: tables, chairs, linens, place settings, setup & cleanup are all part of the package. Your wedding day should feel like a celebration — not a logistics project.
Year Round at the Lodge
Every Season has its Magic Here
From snow-dusted canyon views to breathtaking sunset summer evenings, River Run Lodge is stunning no matter when you say I do.

FAQ
What is the event cleanup process?
We take care of the heavy lifting for you! This means your cleanup responsibility is minimal. It's best to designate a few people to gather up any decor or personal items that were brought in.
Can I have a food truck at my wedding?
Yes, a food truck is a fun option for your wedding reception. Please make sure they provide catering staff to fulfill our "full-service," catering requirement and help your reception run smoothly.
Do I need to schedule a tour or can I just stop by?
Tours are by appointment only! Please contact us to schedule a visit or to set up a virtual tour.
What is the average cost to book River Run Lodge?
Most of our couples have a budget between $35,000 - $50,000 for all wedding expenses (venue, bar, catering, dress, photos, florals...etc). Some couples choose to spend more and some have beautiful celebrations for a bit less. In addition to the venue fee, your choice of bar package will be the only other item impacting your total all-in cost at River Run Lodge.

What's included in the venue rental?

We can accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. Reach out and we'll help you understand what's possible for your guest count and vision.
Do you offer venue tours?
Absolutely — and we highly recommend it. Nothing replaces standing on that deck and seeing the Deschutes River and canyon views for yourself. Book a tour through our website and we'll take care of the rest.
Can we bring our own vendors?
Yes. We have a list of vendors we love and recommend, but you're welcome to bring your own licensed and insured vendors. Our team is happy to coordinate with whoever you choose.
