Beautiful Days, Thoughtful Backups.

The Case for a Wedding Tent at Pole Creek Ranch.

Summers at Pole Creek Ranch are hard to beat; long, warm days, golden light, and evenings that seem to linger just for you. With an average rainfall of less than half an inch between June and September, it’s easy to see why so many couples choose an open-air celebration at our ranch.

Still, it never hurts to have a backup plan. That’s where tents come in.

Today’s wedding tents are anything but basic. They’re elegant, flexible spaces that can be designed to fit your vision: whether that’s a breezy, open-sided setup or a fully draped reception with chandeliers and string lights. They can define a dance floor, cover a dinner area, or serve as a central gathering spot as the evening cools.

A tent also adds peace of mind. It’s there if a brief shower rolls through, if the breeze picks up, or if you want to cozy up your space as the sun sets behind the Cascades. And when the lights start to glow and music fills the air, a tent can feel every bit as magical as the landscape around it.

There are endless ways to make the space your own: floral arrangements climbing up the poles, soft draping, tablescapes that carry your color palette through the night. And you don’t have to figure it out alone: Central Oregon wedding planners are pros at helping couples choose the right style, size, and setup for the ranch, along with trusted local vendors who can bring it all to life.

Because even under canvas, the beauty of the ranch shines through.
