CREATE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

We love to pamper our brides, grooms, and guests. You can expect an awesome guest experience with world class customer service.

If you’re looking for historic character and vintage charm in a rural setting, we make a sweet unique destination wedding location.

Are you in love with the idea of an outdoor wedding but afraid of rain? In Dufur Valley you’ll enjoy over 300 days of sunshine a year.

That makes us the Sunniest Wedding Location in the Gorge!

With 20 guest rooms you can have your closest friends and family stay overnight. The joy continues over your catered breakfast the next morning!

WHAT MAKES THE BALCH DIFFERENT?

We know your wedding day is one of the most important events in your lifetime. It’s not only a time to marry the one you love but a time to bring together your nearest and dearest.

Create memories to cherish for a lifetime. Ones your family and friends will reminisce about for generations to come.

You’ll have a stunning backdrop: a boutique historic hotel all to yourselves as you experience these memories in the making.

We’re not corporate or cookie cutter: you won’t be double or triple booked with other weddings. Your experience here will be personal.

Depending on the package you choose, you’ll have full privacy of the hotel and grounds on your special day.

PERSONALIZE YOUR WEDDING

The individual style and personal touches are what make your day.  Here’s the palette on which you can paint.

To give you some structure–and make your personalization easier–we’ve created packages so we don’t have to recreate the wheel. Email or call to get our Wedding Planning Guide and package info.

From there you add meaningful touches, from antique linens to a Frank Sinatra tribute band!

We are a hotel AND wedding venue. And when you have your wedding here, you get both. All to yourselves.

As a boutique historic inn we’ve consistently garnered the best advertising you can’t buy: word of mouth and online recommendations.

We rank #10 in Oregon’s Top 100 Travel Destinations. We’re #1 in the Gorge.

You’re not a bride or groom who wants glitz and glam. you’re looking for something smaller, more intimate and affordable. Maybe even quirky or rustic.

Your guests will wonder at the beauty of Oregon during their trip to the Balch. Rolling hills, open spaces, panoramic views, open the mind, cleanse the spirit and uplift the heart. We’re where the Columbia River Gorge meets Oregon’s High Desert. It’s breathtaking!
