Music lovers Ali + Levi found the perfect spot to tie the knot at The Ruins in Hood River, a music venue that moonlights as a wedding venue. This gorgeous Summer day prioritized good food, good music,...

Ali and Levi’s September wedding at The Ruins in Hood River was filled with beauty, history, and heartfelt moments. The 100+ year-old fruit cannery provided a stunning backdrop, its weathered walls adding both character and charm to the day.

The bride’s brother officiated a moving ceremony, sharing stories of how Ali and Levi’s lives paralleled for years before finally crossing paths. Surrounded by whimsical florals from Wildflower Portland, the couple exchanged vows in a space that felt warm, inviting, and deeply personal.

Guests were treated to an unforgettable dinner prepared by Kitchen Killa Culinary Solutions. The menu featured dishes that celebrated the season—grilled peach and burrata salad, orange fennel salmon, peppercorn beef with garlic butter and chimichurri, roasted sweet potatoes with vanilla whiskey butter, sweet corn tomato orzo, and a warm brussels sprouts salad.

Every plate was thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor and served family style, setting the tone for a night of connection and celebration.

As evening turned to night, the party came alive under the stars. Golden Bell Music kept the dance floor full, with live saxophone, trombone, and percussion adding energy and vibrance to the celebration.
