A Romantic Alpine Retreat on Mount Hood’s Slopes
Imagine exchanging your vows atop a sun-kissed deck with an ocean of wildflowers at your feet and Mt. Hood’s snow-capped peak towering as your witness. At Mt. Hood Meadows, romance feels as natural as the mountain breeze – crisp pine-scented air, golden alpine sunlight, and a panorama of Oregon wilderness that makes you feel truly on top of the world. Here, the mountain’s grandeur and the tranquil hush of nature create an atmosphere that’s both breathtaking and deeply personal, as if the landscape itself is sharing in your love story.
No matter the season, Mt. Hood Meadows offers an enchanting setting for your celebration.

In summer, the venue transforms into a vibrant meadow in bloom – imagine saying “I do” surrounded by fields of wildflowers and towering evergreens, with blue skies and Mt. Hood’s majestic summit smiling down. Couples can even host their vows out on the very slopes of the ski resort, breathing in fresh mountain air as they stand amid endless vistas. And when night falls or the chill sets in, you’ll slip into a stunning reception space where floor-to-ceiling windows bring the starlit peak right into the room, or step onto a spacious terrace to dance under a canopy of constellations. Every moment is accented by the mountain’s magic – from sunlit afternoons to moonlit nights – giving your wedding day a truly cinematic backdrop.

Sierra & Brian
There was pure magic in the mountain air as Sierra and Brian exchanged vows at Mt. Hood Meadows, surrounded by the soaring peaks and their closest loved ones. After nearly a decade together, the day felt like the joyful culmination of a beautiful journey. Family and friends spoke through happy tears about how perfectly Sierra and Brian complete each other – how her once shy spirit now shines brightly with his steady love, and how he feels whole with her by his side. The couple’s personal vows were as heartfelt as they come, promising to laugh together through life’s adventures, support one another through every challenge, and never stop growing as partners. When Sierra and Brian sealed their union with a kiss amid golden alpine light, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight – just cheers, laughter, and an overwhelming sense of joy for the newlyweds.
Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort in Government Camp, Oregon, proved to be an enchanting stage for this celebration of love. Nestled on the slopes of Oregon’s most iconic mountain, the resort offers a dreamy blend of rugged natural beauty and cozy alpine charm. During Sierra and Brian’s summer wedding, Sahale Lodge’s floor-to-ceiling windows bathed the ceremony in warm, late-day sunlight, and a breezy outdoor deck allowed guests to toast the couple as the sun dipped behind evergreen-lined peaks. Everywhere you turned was a postcard-worthy view – from wildflower-dotted meadows to Mt. Hood’s majestic summit towering in the distance. Romantic and secluded, yet utterly welcoming, Mt. Hood Meadows gave the couple and their guests an unforgettable mountain getaway, proving itself a truly magical venue for a one-of-a-kind “I do.”
