OUR SPACES
The Courtyard & Lawn
Some moments deserve to happen under an open sky…
The outdoor courtyard and surrounding lawn create a private, enchanting escape just steps from the chapel entrance, framed by lush gardens and anchored by a magnificent heritage oak tree that has stood watch over this property for generations. There’s something quietly powerful about celebrating beneath a tree that old — it lends a sense of permanence and rootedness to the moment, a feeling that your love is joining something much larger than a single day. Couples instinctively gravitate toward it for portraits, and guests tend to linger beneath its canopy long after the ceremony ends.
Surrounded by Beauty
At the center of the outdoor space stands the beautifully crafted ceremony arch, set on a welcoming paver patio that provides a stable, elegant surface for your processional and your vows. The arch creates a natural focal point—a frame within the frame of the oak and the chapel steeple rising behind it—that photographs like a dream from every angle.
Surrounding gardens add color and texture through every season, giving the space a living, organic beauty that no indoor venue can replicate. The 200sq ft of outdoor space can be configured for outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours, lawn games, or simply as a breathing room for guests who want a moment of fresh air between the ceremony and reception.
Exquisite Lighting
As the sun sets over the Willamette Valley and the string lights begin to glow, the courtyard transforms into something almost cinematic — the kind of setting that makes guests stop mid-sentence just to take it in. There are no traffic sounds, no city noise, just the stillness of a small Oregon town, the warmth of the people you love most, and the faint echo of a 130-year-old bell reminding everyone that something truly beautiful just happened here.
Ring in Your Special Day
Since 1894, our steeple bell has rung out across Hubbard to celebrate life’s most sacred moments. Rooted in ancient Celtic and Irish tradition, the ringing of wedding bells blesses newlyweds and proclaims their love to the world. Let the whole valley know – your forever starts here. Step outside, pull the rope, and ring in the beginning of your new life together.
