Best Time to Get Married at Sunriver Resort in Bend, Oregon
Snow, sun, rain or wind, Bend Oregon has an option with a dream backdrop for your wedding day, regardless of what Mother Earth has in store.
Spring
While spring tends to come a little late in Central Oregon, come April, wildflowers begin to bloom in the Badlands, mountain bike trails start to open up near town, and rivers start to rise. Be prepared for all kinds of crazy weather in the spring, from snow to sunshine to high winds and rain, Mother Nature is all about the unpredictability of this beautiful season while she brings back the green and lets the waters rise.
Summer
Summer days in the high desert mean exploring the outdoors, enjoying the breathtaking views, and of course, kicking back with a refreshing drink. These hot, sunny days are the perfect opportunity to grab your tribe and float in the cool waters of the Deschutes River, explore the lakes on the Cascade Lakes Highway, and relax on the incredible patios the brewery’s have to offer
Fall
The shorter days of fall are lit up by brilliant yellow, orange, and red leaves on the trees covering Southern Oregon. Solitude is easy to come by, and layering is highly recommended as cool shadows will most likely cast a chill. Sip a Bend ale by the warmth of a fire pit while the sunset creates a once in a lifetime backdrop behind the Cascades.
