Clackamas River Events, Inc.

Clackamas River Events is an outdoor venue set across five acres beside the Clackamas River in Damascus, Oregon. Its grounds provide a scenic setting for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings, family reunions, school reunions and quinceañeras. Organisers can shape the open-air space around their event, using the riverfront, forested areas, creekside views and landscaped pond as part of the occasion.

The venue includes more than 10,000 square feet of connected patio space, with accessible routes between areas. A gated entrance leads to a paved car park, and staff can arrange golf-cart transport for guests with mobility needs. The koi pond, fountains and adjustable coloured lighting offer a distinctive focal point for gatherings, while the river and surrounding greenery create a natural backdrop for ceremonies and photographs.

For weddings and other occasions that require a private preparation space, a furnished cottage is available for event hosts. It includes separate getting-ready rooms and river views, but is not accommodation and is not intended for general guest use. The venue is entirely outdoors, so organisers should plan for suitable tents and any weather protection they need.

Clackamas River Events provides the location rather than a full package of event supplies. Organisers arrange their own catering, furniture, tableware, linens and tents through outside suppliers. The team can coordinate venue access, conduct tours and provide a venue manager on the event day. The property is seasonal, generally operating from May through October, and can host events of up to 200 guests. Its layout and vendor flexibility make it a practical option for planners seeking a riverside setting they can tailor to their event.
