We had our wedding on July 10th at Zenith Vineyard and it was truly the most magical day of my life. The venue is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset!
We had a great experience with Dana touring the venue and so we decided to hire her as our day of coordinator and I am so glad that we did. Throughout the whole process Dana was so helpful and quick to answer all of my questions.
The majority of our guests were from out of town so it was important to us to find a venue with a bit of lodging on site or close by. We rented the bungalows and the estate house on the property and hosted our wedding party there. It was incredible! Being able to stay on site eliminated so much stress and made everything so easy.
We arrived to the properties the day before the wedding and from the moment we arrived Dana greeted us and asked what we needed help with.
We had the rehearsal later that day and Dana was so accommodating even though some of our wedding party was late. She stayed longer to help us make sure we felt comfortable with the flow of the ceremony and answer any questions. She even offered to get to the venue early the next day to make sure our florals arrived at a time that worked best for us.
The day of went perfectly, Dana and her helper handled everything for us and truly made our vision come to life. Our friends and family had nothing but amazing things to say about her and how she coordinated the day.
Thank you Dana and everyone at Zenith that made our day so special!
It was the best day ever and I wish we could do it again!
It’s safe to say my husband and I would highly recommend Zenith & Dana’s services to anyone looking for a venue and...

Read moreMy husband and I had our wedding at Zenith Vineyards in late June (2024) and it was absolutely perfect. Zenith is beyond beautiful, their wines are fantastic, and their team is so on top of everything!
As part of our contract with the venue we decided to add on their wedding planning services provided by their Hospitality Manager Dana Blunck. Dana was a joy to work with. She made everything so simple and low stress. All the vendors she recommended ended up being great. On the day of Dana was so incredibly well prepared that we were blown away. Not only was everything so well taken care of that there was nothing for us to do or worry about, but Dana had thought ahead and prepped for so many small things we never would have thought of. We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with her.
We also decided to rent several of the houses they have on the vineyard for family members, and they all worked out great. The Zenith Vineyard Estate house was particularly great.
We looked at most of the venues in the Willamette Valley before we ended up deciding on Zenith, and we are so incredibly glad we ended up going with Zenith. They are a real gem!
