Does the Oregon Olive Mill offer custom party favors? > >

Yes, we sell our estate-milled olive oil in a variety of bottles to suit your needs. Custom labels may be made to incorporate your personal event theme. Pricing available upon request.

When is the Wisteria on the “Lavender Lawn” arbor blooming? > >

The wisteria typically blooms in May, though it will be fully leafed out throughout the summer & fall.

When is the Lavender in Full Bloom? > >

Typically the lavender starts to bud in mid to late June, and will be fully blooming through the month of July. The plants will still be purple in early August, but may not be quite as vibrant. We try to trim the lavender back by early September.

What is your maximum capacity? > >

Between 75-100 guests. It is very dependent on the type of event you are hosting (fully seated, or passed appetizer? Indoor or outdoor?) Contact us to discuss your event vision, and we can work with you to provide you an accurate number of maximum guests for the type of event your are planning.

Is alcohol allowed onsite? > >

Yes. We allow beer & wine to be served at the events hosted at our facility (no Hard Alcohol please) We request that your use wine from our vineyard at your event, and as a thank-you we will provide a 10% discount on all sales over 12 bottles. If you wish to bring in outside wine, a $10/ bottle corkage fee will be applied. No Kegs on-site please, but we do allow bottled beer to be brought in. All alcohol must be served by an OLCC licensed bartender.

We are planning an outdoor wedding… what happens if it rains? > >

For events of 75 or smaller, we tend to move the ceremony indoors, or to the lower patio of the Oregon Olive Mill. We ask that all events larger than 75 guests have a “rain contingency plan”. Please contact Key Tenting (link to Key Tenting) for a quote.

May we have candles or special lights for our event? > >

We require that all candles be in enclosed containers (no open flames). All additional decorations (twinkle lights, lanterns, streamers, piñatas, disco balls etc.) must be pre-approved by our event staff. All decorations and rentals must be removed at the end of the event. We do not allow nailing, tacking, taping, or stapling to any of the walls or surfaces.

What is the smoking policy? > >

We ask that you join us in upholding the quality of our air, both indoors & outdoors by not smoking in or around our buildings. Please make sure your guests are aware of this as well. If you require a smoking area, discuss it with our event staff before hand, and we can converse about setting up designated outdoor smoking areas for your event.

What time may I start my event and end my event? > >

Most event rentals start at 10 AM and must conclude no later than 10:30 PM.
