Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • It's situated at a particularly stunning bend in the Columbia River, and boasts sleek, innovative architecture that incorporates natural elements drawn from the surrounding environment.
  • In the River Gallery, raw timber columns and basalt rock walls lend a rustic feeling, while a dramatic 30-foot-high wall of glass frames breathtaking views of the Klickitat Hills and Columbia River. A glossy imprint that mimics the Columbia runs along the center of the floor, creating a cool "aisle runner."
  • Gather your family for a slideshow in the M.J. Murdock Theater. With 140 comfy seats, an elevated stage, and a top-of-the-line projection room, digital projector and sound system, this space is plush enough to host a Hollywood movie premiere!
