Moore Mansion

On June 20, 2015, we celebrated our Son’s wedding reception with his beautiful Bride at the Moore Mansion.
The Mansion and its surrounding grounds were excellently landscape with large green lawns, beautiful flowers, plants, white serving tents and dancing gazebo. The tables and white chairs were beautifully set up with very nice color combinations of linen and center pieces. It was an outdoor venue on a 84 F evening with a very large six story tree shading everyone (175 guests) perfectfully with room to spare!
Debra (the owner) is an excellent event facilitator. She ran everything with clockwork expertise. No delays or the feeling of being rushed between the traditional wedding events orchestrated by their «in house DJ using an excellent acoustics system» …re: (directing various tables to buffet line), (the toasts), (cutting the cake), (throwing the garter), (throwing the bride’s bouquet), (brides & groom’s first dance), (Mother & Son’s Dance), (Father & Bride’s Dance), and of course background music and dancing music.
All of our friends and guests expressed their enthusiasm and accolades about the property, venue, event organization and just having a fantastic time at the Wedding.
The Moore Mansion impressed the bride’s and groom’s guests from (14) different states.
Job well done!

My husband and I just had our wedding here and it was the most unforgettable night of our lives! Debra goes above and beyond to ensure all your wedding dreams come true from the day you book your date. We truly could not have asked for a more perfect event and would highly recommend the Mansion to anyone looking for a wedding or other event venue.

After researching and pricing MANY venues in the Tri-​Cities area, I found the perfect venue with the Moore Mansion. Debra is nothing short of AMAZING, and simply wonderful to work with. I was planning a wedding in Washington from California, and Debra was always quick to respond to my questions. She loves what she does and goes out of her way to make sure everything flows smoothly on your special day. She has beautiful linens to choose from, well manicured grounds that photograph beautifully (save money on floral arrangments with this venue!), and perfect lighting on the grounds. DJ services are included in the venue fee as well, which made things so much simpler for me. Having all the tables, chairs, linens, tents, lighting, DJ, and more taken care of for one price was a huge stress relief and I cannot say enough about the kindness and professionalism of Debra. I highly recommend this venue!

I attended a wedding yesterday and everything was perfect! The grounds were lovely and the tables were beautiful. When one of my three daughters marry, Moore Mansion will be at the top of my list.

REVIEW #3200!
This Mansion was built as a private home in 1905 by Mr. James A. Moore. During the roaring twenties, the Mansion was a speakeasy; with secret underground tunnels and passageways which aided in «rum running.» Located alongside the Columbia River, the Mansion has served as a private residence, retirement home, restaurant and special event venue. The Moore Mansion was more recently restored after being destroyed by arson fire in 2001.
Gayle and I recently attended her Niece’s Wedding here on a warm Saturday evening. The Wedding and associated reception were fabulous. The Bride was radiant, family and friends were joyful, the venue was stunning, and a great time was had by all. All of it was lovingly overseen by one of the Mansion owners (who live here), who later commented that we were the best dancing Weddings that she had hosted here. My only quibbles with the Moore Mansion and the event were:
— Larger bathroom facilities would be nice.
— The property’s guest quarters could be upgraded to better would meld in with the rest of this very attractive property.
— It’s unfortunate that you can’t easily see the Columbia river (over the levee).
I also allowed myself a little bit of time for introspection while I was here. Gayle was especially gorgeous, smart, and sexy, which makes me one lucky husband! There is indeed life after divorce. And even though there are no guarantees that a given marriage will last, these events only confirm my most optimistic hopes and aspirations. I’m also reminded a a particular Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where Riker and Data are discussing trust and betrayal:
Riker: «In all trust there is the possibility of betrayal. I’m not sure you were prepared for that.»
Data: «Were you prepared, sir?»
Riker: «I don’t think anybody ever is.»
Data: «Then it is better not to trust.»
Riker: «Without trust, there’s no friendship, no closeness, none of the emotional bonds that make us who we are.»
Data: «And yet you put yourself at risk.»
Riker: «Every single time.»
