Top 5 Best Portland Wedding Venues

Portland is such a rich and diverse city that I am lucky to be able to work in. When helping my clients choose their wedding venue, I’m able to offer them choices from urban to rural, with vibes that are industrial, rustic, or chic to suit their personality and style.

Today I’m sharing 5 of my favorite Portland wedding venues!


Castaway

Located at the edge of the Pearl District nestled near the Willamette River, this 1929 warehouse was home to the makers of yellow strand rope used in the original Portland Street Car. In 2007, it was painstakingly restored to its original glory and today serves as one of Portland's most awarded venue spaces. 

This space is ideal for large gatherings year round. It can accommodate a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception dinner all in one large space. Some couples opt to rent their private parking lot to host their outdoor cocktail hour.

Blockhouse

Adjacent to Castaway, Blockhouse is an intimate gathering locale where meals are shared, connections are made and life is celebrated. This quaint and private venue is tucked away inside of Pomarius Nursery. Built around a chef-inspired open kitchen, you can host an intimate gathering, lavish party and everything in-between thanks to their extended patio space that can be covered with a tent or left open air. We LOVE all of the plants and nature that surrounds this urban space.

Coopers Hall

Weddings at this urban winery, whether intimate or boisterous, understated or elaborate, are always beautiful celebrations to remember. Their team of highly skilled service industry professionals will ensure that the venue lives up to the occasion and exceeds your expectations. Conveniently located in Portland’s central eastside, Coopers Hall is only a short drive from many of the city’s most popular hotels. We love the proximity to downtown, the versatile space, and their excellent food!

Barn Kestrel

This historic property with a working barn, built in 1900, is one of the best-preserved barns in Clackamas County and one of America's finest. It is a ramp style barn featured on county historical tours and a tribute to Oregon's old-growth fir trees of the late 1800s. We love that Barn Kestrel has a space for everyone - the wide open field and large oak tree, the intimate lawn that can serve as your reception space, or their large barn.

Exchange Ballroom

An Urban Event Space with Stunning Rooftop Views. The Exchange Ballroom and Cascade Rooftop is located in on the east bank of the Willamette River within the historic Eastside Exchange Building. Our Ballroom boasts dramatic views of the downtown Portland skyline. We absolutely LOVE their rooftop with stunning views of Portland’s west side and the west hills. The ballroom is open and spacious, allowing for any vision to come to life. The Vibrant Table team operates an exquisite venue and delivers exceptional service.
