Our Trusted Pacific Northwest Vendor Network

One of the biggest advantages of booking Alder Grove is that you’re not starting from scratch when it comes to vendors. Over the years, we’ve built relationships with a curated network of caterers, photographers, florists, DJs, bakers, and rental companies across southwest Washington and Portland — vendors who know the property, know how outdoor events work in the Pacific Northwest, and consistently deliver excellent work.

You’re never required to use the vendors on this list — Alder Grove is open to working with vendors of your choice — but for couples and planners who want a head start, this is where most of our events draw their teams from. Each of these vendors has worked at Alder Grove or in our region and meets the quality standards we expect for events on the property.
