Noble Ridge Tree Deck Washougal Wedding
Suspended amidst the towering trees, Megan and Mitchell were married and celebrated their wedding reception at Noble Ridge Tree Deck in Washougal, Washington on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
It was a hot one in the Portland area with the temperature hovering around 100 degrees, but at 2500′ elevation we didn’t get higher than 90 degrees and the tree canopy made for a comfortable day when the ceremony began at 4pm on the tree deck.

Following the ceremony, guests walked a short wood chip path down to the Wedding Lawn for a cocktail hour. With my second sound system, I played a background music set that primarily featured oldies and motown hits as requested by the bride and groom. After the tree deck was rearranged, everyone returned around 5:30pm for dinner.

Requests from bride and groom and their parents included songs from Van Morrison, UB40 and Bon Jovi, along with Country artists Brad Paisely, Carrie Underwood and Luke Combs.
Congratulations Fiona and Spenser! Thank you to the bride’s parents Julie and Jon for choosing PRO DJs.
