Located on the east side of Eastmoreland Golf Course, the 7-acre Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden provides a beautiful setting for weddings and receptions. Spring bloom is magnificent and summer is lovely with lush greenery against the backdrop of Crystal Springs Lake. Crystal Springs Garden in autumn is beautiful with the turning leaves. Birds and squirrels abound during all seasons. Reservations are accepted up to two years in advance for May through September. However, due to weather conditions, larger events (up to 350 attendees) are scheduled only from July 1 to mid-September; smaller groups (up to 50 attendees) can be accommodated from May to mid-September.

All special events, including photographic sessions, must be scheduled through the Garden's event coordinator at 503-975-6743. Each event is custom-designed to your wishes; there are no 'packages' offered. Fees are calculated based on group size and hours used. A portfolio of previous events is available. It is recommended that all events serving food be professionally catered since there is no on-site kitchen or preparation area. Alcohol may be served by a licensed caterer with proper insurance; forms will be provided. Events extending into the evening hours require lighting along the pathways for safety reasons. The coordinator will assist you in planning for liability protection for yourself and the Garden.
