Built within a beautifully restored 1922 Oddfellows Lodge, The Arc Light offers more than a place to host your wedding.
The spaces where meaningful moments unfold have a way of becoming intertwined with the memories themselves. Years later, we may forget the details of a conversation or presentation, but remember the feeling of the room, the people gathered there, and the place where it all happened.
With historic architecture, flexible gathering spaces, vintage-inspired interiors, private lounges, and a distinctive Oregon City setting, The Arc Light offers something increasingly rare: a sense of place.
Where Moments Become Part of the Story.
Some places simply hold memories. Others become part of them.
Make your memories at The Arc Light.

Every Celebration Needs a Plan
Your wedding day should be spent celebrating—not managing timelines, vendor arrivals, and the countless details happening behind the scenes. Because of the many moving parts involved, all weddings at The Arc Light require a professional planner or day-of coordinator. Couples are welcome to bring their own trusted professional or explore our in-house planning services for additional support along the way.
