A Glimpse Behind the Veil

A Glimpse Behind the Veil, is a thoughtfully curated bridal experience at the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel and Spa designed for couples who want to slow down, observe, and truly imagine their day. Rather than a traditional bridal show, guests are invited to experience a full-scale wedding environment as it unfolds—complete with intentional design, curated tastings, and the opportunity to engage naturally with some of the Gorge’s most talented wedding professionals.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, you’ll move through styled wedding moments, explore thoughtfully designed spaces, and enjoy tastings and samples while vendors showcase their craft in a real-world setting. This is your chance to see how all the pieces of a wedding come together—florals, rentals, photography, food, ambiance—without being rushed, sold to, or overwhelmed.

Couples are encouraged to mingle, ask questions, and take it all in as guests first, planners second. On-site lodging will be available for those who wish to extend the experience and enjoy the evening at a relaxed pace.

Whether you’re just beginning to plan or refining the final details, A Glimpse Behind the Veil offers inspiration, clarity, and connection—designed to feel less like an expo and more like attending a beautifully executed wedding. Don't forget your cocktail attire, appetite, and dancing shoes, planning should be fun and we intend to prove it!
