As a vendor, I visit venues (or places to host an event) regularly for all different types of events, and just like any other industry, some venues go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I can, unfortunately, say there are several places out there that treat their couple well, but not other wedding vendors. I have worked with these places, and it is not all that fun! BUT some places are an absolute pleasure to work with. So, I have compiled a list of 5 places in Salem\/Keizer that are good not only for the couples to work with but also treat other wedding and event vendors well, making them some of my favorite places to work with! These are in no order, and all are places worth checking out if you are looking to hold a wedding or event in Salem\/Keizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log House Garden at Willow Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log House Garden in Keizer is one of those not-so-hidden gems in the city. Run by the Blake\u2019s, the grounds are immaculately kept, they have an orchard that makes for amazing photos, and if you are respectful of the property, they grant you full access for the time of your event. Lanora has been in the wedding and event business for many years and is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to making your event beautiful and successful. As a vendor, Lanora always treats you with respect and thinks about not only what is good for her, but what is good for you too. This is a wonderful venue that I absolutely love returning to again and again!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deepwood Estate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This venue is well known in the area, and for good reason. The grounds are kept by dedicated volunteers who do an amazing job. The society that keeps the house and gives tours are focused on preservation and keeping this piece of history for generations to come, and the event staff is so delightful to work with! Besides its popularity (and subsequent days it is off-limits to those not part of the event) this place is a photographer\u2019s dream and is just as dreamy to work with as to photograph. Their rules are strict, but for incredibly good reason. They do work with you, both as an event planner and as a vendor, to give you as much free reign as possible while maintaining the integrity of the site. Very much a place I love working with over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willamette Heritage Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Third on the list is the Willamette Heritage Center, also known as Mission Mill. Staff is extremely helpful but unobtrusive, and they give lots of leeway. A perfect spot for vignettes and getting great photos.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Salem Convention Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Amazing staff that always take care of you, and your vendors. They make sure vendors get lunch\/dinner, and have a place set for your vendors to take break. It has gorgeous lighting, large, great for big events. They also make you so feel special. They may have 5 events going on at the same time, but you would never know it with the care and attention you receive. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keizer Civic Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

This historic and beautiful venue is hidden in the middle of the city. It features incredible garden spots that you can use as well. The staff is truly kind and helpful, and fun to work with. They are very responsive and versatile with their large rooms and smaller rooms that are perfect for breakout areas during an event. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
