The Destination
Hood River, Oregon
Everything leads here. We are gathering at The Griffin House, a 120-year-old home perched on the cliffs of the Gorge.
The Griffin House has sat on these cliffs since 1900, watching the river flow by for more than a century. Over the years, it has been a dairy farm, a Prohibition speakeasy, and a quiet family home. For us, there was something special about the character of a place that has been grounded in this rock for so long.
We appreciate the feeling of permanence here. Perched right on the edge of the cliffs, the house is exposed to the wind but wide open to the river—the perfect place to slow down and truly savor being together. It feels like the right setting to unite our families and gather our pasts in one circle before we head off into our future together.
