Testimonials

"Ruth and Rob could not have been more helpful during the entire process of hosting our wedding event! We were their guinea pigs, so to speak, as this was their first time hosting a wedding at this beautiful location; but from day one it was obvious Ruth was highly experienced in event planning :). She had lists of recommended florists, caterers, photographers, and other contacts necessary to make the day go smoothly. They went out of their way to answer questions, prepare the facility for the event, and made us feel like we were part of the family.

The location itself could not have been more ideal. The heated pool was revitalizing, the poolhouse a comforting retreat from the summer sun; the landscaping was immaculately maintained, and the views of the foothills of the Blue Mountains provide a stellar backdrop for any photograph you could ask for.

I would not hesitate to recommend Pratt Gardens for your wedding, or any event that benefits from some showmanship. Thank you guys for making our day extra special."

"I know the Pratt Family personally and they are nothing short of an amazing family. This is also true for their venue and the service they are dedicated to provide to you when you chose Pratt Gardens.

If you don't want to read my full review just know this. Pratt Gardens is a lovely venue overlooking Eastern Oregon wheat fields that rise into the Blue Mountains. Their staff is amazing!

Ruth is helpful, insightful, and caring. She made sure that our wedding had everything it needed.

Months before our wedding; She sat down with my wife and I and made sure she knew what we wanted for our wedding day.

Weeks before the wedding Pratt Gardens reached out and asked how the wedding planning was going and again made sure that if they could help in any way, they would. Luckily my wife and I had most of the logistics and planning done.

Days before the wedding they gave us advice on where to put food, drinks, dance floor, DJ, and helped with how the flow of the wedding would hopefully go.

Day of the wedding: everything was perfect! except the weather. Ruth and Robbert assured me that "It will be perfect rain or shine".

As guests were arriving in their private parking lot, Pratt Gardens employees shuttled guests from the parking lot to the venue. They made sure groomsmen and bridesmaids were taken care of. They also shuttled them back as needed.

We had an amazing and fun wedding. It was perfect, and I mean perfect even with the rain!

Pratt Gardens is a wonderful venue and home to wonderful people. Ruth and Robbert, Thank you!"

"We had our wedding at Pratt Gardens on Memorial Day weekend 2022. The bride and bridesmaids rented the bridal suite to stay in the night before. We can’t say enough good things about Ruth and Rob. They were above and beyond accommodating. Ruth was always reachable by text and allowed us to drop by several times in the weeks leading up to the wedding for our planning purposes. The bridal suite was immaculate and all 3 of my bridesmaids ended up buying the sheets that were on the beds - so comfy! The day of the wedding, all of the staff were so helpful. Helping iron my tablecloths, making sure the pool was super clean, anything you can think of. The flowers were of course so gorgeous and added to the aesthetic. When the huge storm came through and rained out the reception, they all jumped to help put tables and chairs away, and cleared out the entire bridal suite for us to have first dances and cut cake under shelter. Even the DJs equipment stopped working due to rain and Rob jumped right in to play our songs through their system instead. They also offered for the bridal party to stay another night in the suite on the house because of the terrible weather. They used their personal vehicles to shuttle my guests and family to their cars. The next morning when we showed up to clean, they made me coffee - I mean these people are truly incredible and so kind. We are so glad we went with Pratt Gardens. Rain or shine, we wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you Pratt Family for all you did to make our day so special."

We were looking for the perfect venue but just couldn't find the right thing. One day while on a drive in the country we stumbled upon Pratt Gardens. We contacted Ruth and she was so kind. Once we toured, we knew it was the perfect place for us. Ruth was so accommodating and gave us advice when we asked for it. She worked with our planner to make things perfect for our day. The Pratt's were kind to our guests and treated us as if we were family. They took the kids down to see the goats and cut flowers for our bridal table. The scenery and grounds were absolutely breathtaking-beautiful mountains and wheat fields in the background and green grass and flowers all around. They even personalized their sign with our names. The facilities were perfect for getting ready and comfortable. We highly recommend Pratt Gardens - this place was magical and set the tone for our special day.
