About High Desert Museum

Set on 135 acres of serene, forested beauty in Bend, Oregon, the High Desert Museum offers an elevated definition of rustic elegance and warmth that evokes wonder and inspires curiosity. Wood, stone, and glass lend an air of grounded sophistication on the surface, while our exhibits offer you and your guests the unique chance to connect with our area and its cultural history. From stately exhibit halls to versatile outdoor spaces, there are many options to choose from to make your dream wedding day a reality. Our facility rental pricing is based on guest count with add-on enhancements available for an additional fee. The base price range includes 5 hours of venue space, 1-hr ceremony rehearsal*, tables, chairs, select exhibits, and on-site staff for set up/tear down. The High Desert Museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all event fees help support the Museum’s many efforts to engage with the community through unforgettable learning experiences and programs.
