River to Forest
Which spot is calling you? Are you envisioning your ceremony under our signature walnut tree with beautiful mountain and river views, in an old-growth forest under a rustic arbour, or surrounded by the 1920s ambiance in the Upper or Lower Drawing Room at Rowena’s Inn on the River?
And the reception can be in our wedding tent, overseesing the river and secluded under a star-studded sky, or in the colonial inn with nostalgia feels and fireside vibes.

Just wanted to let you know we had the best time, and were told by our guests that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. The food was amazing!! I wish I was able to eat it all. Haha, I was so sad about the cinnamon nachos. Thank you for all the planning and help the day of! It went so smoothly, couldn’t have asked for a better day. Even the sun came out!” 
Thanks again!
