COURTNEY + SAM
Our first wedding of 2024 kicked off in style with a snow storm and this gorgeous couple, Courtney and Sam. These two hired our team for design + styling for their big day. The combination of sparkling sunshine and fresh snow made for the perfect backdrop to this winter wedding in Central Oregon. Photos by Gallivan Photo.
Amanda + Mike
When it came to their vision for their wedding the duo wanted to embrace their love for the outdoors and camping while prioritizing spending quality time with their friends in the woods. Their vision was outdoorsy, while keeping it classy and that was conveyed in everything from the attire to their décor. The two envisioned a celestial themed wedding that was embodied with star twinkle lights and crystals on the tables and suited their venue, Loloma Lodge, perfectly. Photos by Caitlin Cooper.
ANDREW + JAKE
We were fortunate enough to plan Andrew and Jake’s wedding from the very beginning, including tours of venues that fit their vision and budget. Once the couple selected Ranch at the Canyons, we were delighted to curate a rockstar vendor team, design the details, and ensure this couple could host the destination wedding of their dreams. With plenty of color, fun, and flair, this spring wedding in Central Oregon is pure delight. Andrew and Jake’s wedding is featured in the 2024 issue of High Desert Weddings.

“Every step of the way Emily advocated for making our weekend into something that was meaningful and true to us. She was incredibly thoughtful and organized throughout the planning process. She’s kind, compassionate, calm, and an excellent problem solver. Her planning skills and calm demeanor were incredibly helpful through all the twist and turns of planning a large event (especially as we were navigating a cross country move and planning a wedding miles away). We really cannot recommend Ponderosa Planning enough!”
“Emily is exactly who you want in your corner when planning a wedding. She has the most extensive knowledge of the Central Oregon wedding industry, and was able to help guide us in making choices that exactly fit our taste and budget. Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking, and Emily was exactly the teacher and guide we needed. Her organizational skills are unmatched, and she kept us on track every step of the way without ever feeling pushy.”
“Emily is kind, direct, and knows the drill. She will quietly and steadily guide you and think of all the millions of logistical details to ensure your day goes off without a hitch. Our meetings were always calm, productive and effective. By the time our wedding day arrived, I felt a sense of ease because I knew Ponderosa Planning was handling it, and they sure did.”
