The Ceremony

There are several options for the location of your wedding ceremony at the Lightstation. You can choose to have your ceremony at the Keeper’s

House on the West Lawn, wrap around front porch, or in front of the historic Keepers' Home where the sun sets each night behind the rocks and the lighthouse stands watch. Others find the parlors or elegant dining room in the Keeper’s House an intimate atmosphere to exchange vows. Special arrangements can be made with Oregon State Parks to have your ceremony at the beach below after Labor Day and before Memorial Weekend, and groups of ten people or less can choose a ceremony next to the Lighthouse. To obtain a permit or ask further questions about wedding ceremonies on the beach or lighthouse tower grounds, email heceta.h.lighthouse@state.or.us or call 541-547-3416.

Our wine list is regional, gathering the best varietals from Oregon, Washington and California. We can also special order most beer and wine. Please do not hesitate to request a beverage that is not on the list. We will be happy to try to find it for you. You are welcome to provide your own beer and wine for your event.

Catered wedding and reception reservations require rental of the whole housem which includes 6 bed and breakfast rooms, 2 parlors, a dining room, and guest kitchen, on the evening of the wedding. We do not require a two night stay for a Saturday wedding but we do highly recommend renting at least a few of the rooms the night before so that you may have an early start on your wedding day. Ceremony only options between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm do not require rental of any rooms.The Keeper’s House can accommodate up to 15 guests for over night lodging. The Bed and Breakfast rates vary depending on season, day of week, and are based on double occupancy.
