Rain Rain Go Away


You just have to love Oregon weather, today being a prime example. Oregon needs the rain to stay so green, but at times you just wish it would work with you when you have a special day of outside activities planned. Oh well, we will make due. Luckily the covered patio at BeckenRidge provides that extra reassurance when we can't count on Mother Nature.


Though this group stuck with their Plan A of ceremony on the lawn, umbrellas are required just in case. Thank goodness the reception will be covered. Guest still entered through the North Patio and placed their gifts on a table placed under the covered patio along with the sign in book.


The weather held for them during the ceremony and long enough to take pictures outside before the heavens opened up. Their flowers by Rhyme and a Reason were amazing and complemented the linens very well. I loved how the bridesmaids dresses were the same design as the cake done by Marion at Myriad Cakes http://www.myriadcakedesign.com/, never seen that before.











The main room was set for 100 using the BeckenRidge tapestry chairs (except for the head table) and covered patio had seating for 30 using the black chairs. Like most, they choose to have their head table in front of the fireplace, however they bumped two 8 foot tables together making a very large table (we could get used to this idea). They kept to the "L" shape around the corner for the buffet still the best location with the beverage station under the mirror. We had the pleasure of a new caterer Loustic Catering http://www.lousticcatering.com/ from West Salem. They had a wonderful presentation, friendly staff and oh my, the food tantalized the nose and had the mouth watering. I would love to see them here again.

Everyone had a great time even with our raining showers, they still managed to enjoy the beauty of BeckenRidge.
