About My Special WeddingMy Special Wedding offers a wide variety of Rogue Valley wedding venues, many available exclusively through this program. Choose a riverside garden, an elegant ballroom, a mountain ranch, a manicured golf course, or one of many more possibilities to create the perfect setting for your big day.
Prices are affordable, with many venues available for $1,500 or less. And thanks to the generosity of the venue hosts, nearly all of the venue cost becomes a donation to the Women’s Crisis Support Team to end domestic violence and sexual assault in Josephine County.
How Does My Special Wedding Work?
My Special Wedding can help you discover a venue for the wedding of your dreams. Contact Cindy at 541-476-3877 or [email protected] with the date of your wedding (if you’ve set it), how many guests you plan to have, if your wedding has a theme, and which venues you are interested in seeing. She will discuss your plans and will help arrange visits to the venues.
Once you find the perfect venue, secure it with an initial payment of 20 percent (minimum $250) and sign a rental agreement. Many venues also require a refundable cleaning and damage deposit, and that you purchase one-day “event insurance.”
Only one wedding is available at each venue per year, so make your booking quickly. See www.myspecialwedding.org for current availability.
The wedding plan is yours: you choose the caterer, rental service, and other personal details. My Special Wedding provides the memorable setting. Available amenities such as chairs, tables, and catering vary with the venue. My Special Wedding can also provide a list of recommended vendors.
Let My Special Wedding help you find the perfect setting to say your vows. And help women in Josephine County in the process.

“The gals at WCST have been absolute angels in the sometimes hectic wedding planning process! I contacted them for the first time six months before our wedding date, when our initial venue fell through. I was in a panic because everywhere I looked was booked, but Linda and Denise assured me not to worry and that they would help us find the perfect venue to suit us and our 250 guests! Not only did they follow through with their promise, they have been so wonderful, fun, and ready to help the whole way! I love being part of such a win-win organization and feel truly blessed by WCST!”
— Anna Rose and Bryan P.

“When we began planning for our wedding, we knew that the venue would be the most important thing to both of us. While the venue gave us the ability to create a unique wedding in a beautiful private setting on the Rogue River, the fact that the venue fees were affordable and went to benefit WCST sealed the deal for us!”

Some questions to think about when looking at a wedding venue: • Where would you want the ceremony, dinner, dining, musicians and
dancing? • Where are the best backdrops for wedding photographs? • If you have disabled guests, will the property be accessible to them? • How much parking is available and where is it? • Is it the right size for your wedding?
Keep in mind that if you’re looking at the properties in fall or winter, they will look different in the summer when trees are leafed out and flowers are in bloom.
Be prepared with lots of extra flowers in your colors. In the spring, plant annuals in flower pots that you can move around to create spots of color anywhere — next to the cake table, in the aisles, at entrances, and so on.

Notes
Don’t be afraid to ask friends and family to help:
• Making centerpieces and decorations
• Cooking, baking, and laying out the table
• Setting up the day of the wedding
• Picking up guests at the airport • Serving wine and beer • Parking cars
Parents of the bride and groom must stop working once the first guest arrives and just relax. It’s their big day too!
Remember to put at least as much time into your relationship with your partner as you do into your wedding.
About Women’s Crisis Support TeamDedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault through intervention, prevention, and safe shelter.
Women’s Crisis Support Team (WCST) is the primary domestic violence and sexual assault response and advocacy organization in Josephine County, dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault through interven-tion, prevention, and safe shelter. With a small staff and numerous dedicated volunteers, the 501(c)3 organization operates the only 24-hour crisis line, the only domestic violence/sexual assault family-safe shelter, and is the sole provider of ongoing, school-based violence prevention education in Josephine County.
When you reserve one of these wedding venues, you make a difference for those seeking violence-free lives in Jose-phine County by supporting WCST.
WCST’s services are designed to help survivors of abuse regain control of their lives, start the healing process, develop positive self-esteem, and break the cycle of violence so that future abuse can be prevented. All of its services are free and confidential.
WCST believes in:
• Declaring freedom from fear of abuse, which is a basic human right.
• Empowering survivors of violence to make their own choices and exercise their right to self-deter-mination.
• Respecting women, men, and children equally. • Breaking the cycle of violence through education. • Offering a program that balances prevention, inter-
vention, and support. • Endorsing public policy that makes violence unac-
ceptable. • Conducting our own affairs in an ethical and caring
way. • Establishing WCST’s leadership role in the commu-
nity in promoting a safe environment, and in making domestic violence and sexual assault unac-ceptable.
