monastery event center

A registered National Historic Building, the Monastery Event Center is located in the heart of Mt. Adams. The building dates back to the 1800’s, and was restored in 2016. The restoration managed to preserve a large portion of original architecture and design, while also turning it into a functional event space. Just across the street is the Monastery Guest House, a luxury house that can accommodate guests and family the day of a wedding. In addition to the guest house, the Monastery Event Center has a full kitchen, pre-event space for getting ready, a courtyard for cocktail hour, and more.

Why We Love Monastery Event Center

The Monastery Event Center allows us to transform the space into just about anything a couple could ask for. The space has 55 foot ceilings, creating endless floral and event design possibilities. Using tall and dramatic greenery draws attention to the five chandeliers that line the center of the ceiling. The ceremony space creates a backdrop that is cohesive with any color palette. The team at the Monastery Event Center works closely with clients and our team to ensure a smooth and timely transformation.

“[Courtenay] transformed the Monastery Event Center into an even more beautiful venue than we thought possible. Every bloom, every piece of greenery and filler, complimented the ancient walls and the vineyard tables. It took my breath away when I walked in to see the ceremony set up. Her team is like no other. After hours of setting the ceremony, they were waiting in the wings with tiered rolling carts ready to transform the room from ceremony to reception in 45 minutes flat. She had adequate staff that also came back at midnight to disassemble everything and pack it all up. Every staff member was friendly, efficient and kind. There were times when I questioned the value of spending what we did on florals, but when I saw that room, I would have done it all over again just to be able to be surrounded by such beauty. Courtenay and her team were truly transformational and took something that was already majestic and beautiful and made it truly exquisite and surely unforgettable.” - Wendy K, July 2021
