Have Your Wedding Event at the Museum!

It’s not too late to book an unforgettable, festive event at the Museum. The uniquely beautiful setting, with its art, natural setting, live animal habitats and priceless artifacts, offers an atmosphere unlike any other. Our event planning staff is ready to help with every detail, from themes, décor, catering and entertainment.
 The High Desert Museum is a nationally renowned, unique venue that may make for the perfect, unique setting for you and your guests for your next special event.  The Museum's unique setting on 135 pristine acres just 10 minutes from the Old Mill District in Bend, Oregon offers a place for an unparalleled, memorable experience for your guests.

As The New York Times described it, the Museum is an architectural jewel, "nestled into the spare basalt of Central Oregon as if it grew there."

The Museum exudes the natural beauty of the Northwest. Skylights and aspen-filled atriums allow natural light to dapple its interior. A peaked, 16-foot Douglas fir-beamed ceiling rises above floors of inlaid Northwest slate. Eye-catching sculptures of wildlife from various artists and rare Western artifacts are on display throughout the spacious Schnitzer Entrance Hall.
