Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum Overview
People from all over the world come to the Columbia River Gorge to make their vows. Why? A rugged gorge chiseled by time, history, and the mighty Columbia River afford a spectacular backdrop to special events – most importantly your perfect wedding day. Nestled into 54 acres of grounds, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum offers a panoramic vista of the Columbia River and surrounding landscape – truly a picturesque setting waiting to compliment your unforgettable ceremony and reception. Talk about a breathtaking space! The Meyer Memorial River Gallery creates lasting memories the moment you step inside. The raw timber columns and basalt rock walls perfectly frame the 30-foot Mark O. Hatfield wall of windows, while views of the rolling Klickitat Hills and the Columbia River complete the space. The River Gallery is a perfect blend of rustic charm and stunning elegance. Celebrate with your close family and friends for a small intimate affair or a lively, large celebration.Venue Notes
