SPECIAL EVENTS

Yachats is the perfect setting for your wedding or special event!

Celebrate your special day or unique event immersed in beautiful forests, where sandy beaches and rocky outcroppings offer the most scenic backdrop imaginable, and all of the amenities of our seaside village are readily available. Yachats is the ideal place to gather, no matter what the occasion.

Locations

In and around Yachats, you’ll find a plethora of breathtaking scenic vistas and naturally wild places that will highlight your event and provide a most memorable backdrop. We have miles of sandy beaches to the north of town that are readily available and easy to access for your wedding or group function. Overleaf Lodge and Spa, Adobe Resort, and Yachats Inn all provide excellent accommodations, plenty of event space, and are located close to the center of our quaint little village. Yachats State Park features a large grassy area overlooking the coastline and is another great place to gather in town. Cape Perpetua Scenic Area is a massive, forested headland just to the south of Yachats that overlooks crashing waves and offers a clear view of the Pacific Ocean for miles and has a number of perfect places for weddings and special events. And further south, you’ll find Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Area, complete with a sheltered beach, bed and breakfast, and of course the lighthouse, nestled in deep woods and overlooking the rugged coastline below.

Catering

We also have a variety of delicious food and drink options that can be delivered to your event. Bread & Roses Bakery is a small, independent bakery with a focus on healthy and delicious breads, pastries, soups, sandwiches, and desserts using quality, natural ingredients from as many local sources as possible. The Drift Inn provides original dishes with an emphasis on Pacific Northwest ingredients, homemade soups, fresh-baked bread, and amazing desserts. Ona Restaurant & Lounge offers locally sourced and globally inspired fresh ocean and land fare inspired by Japanese, Italian, Southeast Asian, and surrounding Pacific Northwest cuisine.

Floral Arrangements

Flowers and floral arrangements are an important part of any special event, especially your wedding or the one that you’re planning. Yaquina Nursery specializes in cacti and succulents and are known for their large selection. Forks Farm Flowers creates unique bouquets, garlands, large flower arrangements, planters, gift baskets, and room decorations for any occasion. Fresh flowers add so much to important occasions. Consider ordering from our local vendors to get that feeling and look you desire for your special day.
