A new luxury wedding venue in Oregon City

The Arboretum introduces a distinctive new venue option for couples seeing a luxury wedding experience in Oregon City and the greater Pacific Northwest. Blending the romance of a European-inspired glass conservatory with the natural beauty of the surrounding estate, the space offers a setting that feels both timeless and contemporary. Throughout the unveiling, the structure’s transparent design allowed natural light to become an integral part of the experience, creating an atmosphere that evolved throughout the day.

A moment for creative collaboration

The grand opening brought together an exceptional collection of wedding professionals whose work highlighted the artistry and collaboration that define luxury wedding celebrations. Custom bridal design, floral installations, fine art paper goods, draping, culinary experiences, and live event artistry came together to create an immersive showcase that felt editorial, elevated, and highly intentional.

Revisiting a meaningful place

Having originally married at Chateau de Lis in 2024, Luke and Ashlyn returned to the estate for the unveiling of the new Arboretum. Revisiting the estate allowed the couple to step back into the romance of their own wedding story while experiencing the newest addition to the property for the first time.

Portraits filled with authenticity

The opportunity to model together during the event created a natural extension of their connection to the venue. Outside of modeling, Luke and Ashlyn maintain a full life beyond the camera, and that authenticity was evident throughout the day. The resulting portraits felt effortless, romantic, and deeply personal, capturing not only the beauty of the venue but also the connection between the couple themselves.

Collective floral design & estate styling

Throughout the estate, wedding flowers, drapery installations, and layered design elements transformed each space into a display of luxury wedding styling. Rather than focusing on a single design moment, the showcase celebrated the collective artistry of the Pacific Northwest wedding community. Every installation contributed to a cohesive experience that highlighted both the versatility of the venue and the creative possibilities available to future couples.

Our Perspective

At Mahi Pasha Event Design, we believe the best celebrations are those where every detail tells a story — from the way candlelight spills across a table runner to the fragrance of garden roses at the entrance. This piece from Wedding Chicks resonates with the philosophy we bring to every event: intention over extravagance, and craft over convention.

Whether you're drawn to old-world elegance or modern minimalism, the foundation remains the same — thoughtful design, meticulous execution, and an understanding that the most memorable events are ones that feel unmistakably personal.

What to Take Away

• Intentional design is always stronger than spectacle alone — every element should serve a purpose.
• Sensory layering — texture, scent, light, and sound — transforms a beautiful event into an unforgettable one.
• Story is everything: the most memorable celebrations reflect the unique journey of the people being honored.
• Execution matters: a stunning vision only becomes reality through careful planning and trusted collaboration.
