In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich and co-host Alexis Sanabria, Publisher of Oregon Wedding Day and Washington Wedding Day, sit down with Kristen Baxter and Breanna Powers of Abbey Road Farm, a scenic venue in the heart of Oregon wine country.

With firsthand experience as both a former bride and event professional, Breanna shares what makes a venue truly ready to host modern celebrations — while Kristen offers insights from behind the scenes of their 80-acre farm, winery and inn.

The two cover often-overlooked planning elements, from vendor access hours to venue-supported coordination. They also discuss what it means to build events with intentional flow, how couples can maximize their time onsite and why a weekend experience — complete with wine tastings and grain silo stays — leaves a lasting impression.

This episode is full of actionable advice for couples navigating venue tours and contracts, especially those dreaming of a wine country wedding weekend.
