Hosts, Staff & the Crosby Family
Alder Grove is a family-run venue, and the Crosby family — including Chris and Kimberlee Crosby, who appear in several of these photos — are deeply involved in everything that happens on the property. These images, captured at weddings and events hosted at the grove, show the people behind the venue: the family that stewarded this land for generations, and the team that makes every event possible. You’ll also see four-legged friends from time to time, including the dog featured near the waterfall — Alder Grove is a place where the natural character of a working family property still comes through.
If you book Alder Grove, you’re not working with a faceless venue company. You’re working with people who care about every event that takes place on the grounds and have built relationships with the local southwest Washington and Portland vendor community to ensure the day comes together beautifully.
Kim & Chris | Owners
As the owners of Alder Grove, Kim and Chris oversee the vision, growth, and overall experience of the venue. They are passionate about creating a beautiful and welcoming space where couples, families, and guests can gather to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
