Are you looking to elope in Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR? Below are some great ideas for a quick wedding ceremony in a great location. Outdoor weddings in the Pacific Northwest are particularly beautiful, especially in the Spring and early Summer. If you're looking for an elopement ceremony near Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR, I'd definitely recommend one of the following locations.

Vancouver Lake Park (background of water and trees with views of Mt. Hood & Mount St. Helens on sunny days. $3 parking fee.)

Vancouver Waterfront (near outlook bridge, beautiful for photos)

Fort Vancouver (they have a beautiful garden open to the public, also beautiful for photos.)

Esther Short Park (near bell tower if nice, under covered area if rainy)

Salmon Creek Trail (beautiful wooded area with tree canopy)

Cottonwood Beach (Clark County) - Sandy beach area along Columbia River in Camas/Washougal.

Lewisville Park (Clark County) - Forested area along Lewis River with a lot of options for covered areas. Views of river and trees.

Multnomah Falls (Multnomah County) Could do ceremony on platform in front of falls - very pretty but potentially a lot of people.

Hood River (Hood River County) Large grassy area with views of the bridge. Very pretty backdrop but no covered area.

Any private room of a brewery, restaurant, outdoor seating area, etc.
