WEDDINGS

Get Married on the Water!

💍 Say “I Do” with a View on The Pioneer – Portland’s Floating Wedding Chapel!

Looking for a wedding that’s romantic, affordable, and totally unforgettable? Set sail aboard The Pioneer — a charming riverboat venue for up to 22 guests plus the happy couple.

Whether you exchange vows under the mist of Willamette Falls, in the peaceful cove of Elk Rock, or anywhere along the scenic Willamette River from Oregon City to the Columbia — this is a wedding that makes waves.

🌊 What Makes It Magical?

Waterfall wedding backdrop? Check.
Ordained captain who can marry you AND sing you a love song? Absolutely.
Room for your guests, your food, your drinks, and your playlist? You got it.

Our captain is a USCG-licensed boat operator, a wedding officiant, and a musician — so yes, he can legally marry you and then play your first song live on deck!

🛥️ The Experience Includes:

A 2- or 3-hour private cruise & ceremony
Wedding at Willamette Falls, Elk Rock, or your favorite riverside spot
Up to 22 wedding guests
BYO food and beverages (you bring the fun, we bring the river!)
Full-size onboard bathroom
Weatherproof boat – covered, cozy, and protected so your big day stays beautiful no matter the forecast
Flexible pick-up points throughout Portland, Lake Oswego, and Oregon City

Optional: For an extra cost, you can have a captain ordained minister, Captain Charles play guitar and sing songs by request, custom music played, a professional photographer and wedding photos, or an extended cruise for extra celebration time! All available through Portland River Tours!

💸 Best Value in the Wedding World

No overpriced ballrooms. No awkward banquet halls. Just a floating love story with a stunning view — for less than you’d imagine.
