There’s no doubt that choosing a venue for your wedding day will be a tough decision. You want a wedding venue that will set the vibe for the whole day and that you wholeheartedly believe was made for you both. So if you’re unsure where to find the perfect venue for you, here’s a list of the best Portland Oregon wedding venues that I’m sure you’ll love!

Indoor Portland Wedding Venues

Castaway Portland

Castaway Portland was originally a warehouse built in 1929 but was restored in 2014 and made into one of the best indoor wedding venues in Portland! Located at the edge of the Pearl District, right near the Willamette River, Castaway Portland has the most gorgeous features. This includes 14-foot ceilings, exposed wooden beams, steel windows, polished concrete floors, a full catering kitchen, and even an outdoor covered patio! Castaway Portland has a total of 10,000 sqft of wide open space so there’s no need to worry about cutting your guest list short! This amount of space allows 400 seated capacity, 600 standing, and 900 if you use both of the indoor and outdoor spaces!

The Evergreen PDX

The Evergreen PDX used to be a Portland Police event space until 2015 when a couple named Kurt and Heather took over it. They did tons of renovations, sparing no expense and making sure that there were no compromises made. They included world-class aesthetics, acoustics, audio-visual systems, lighting, and amenities.

The venue is laid out in three different sections: the entry space, the main space, and the mezzanine level. It holds a total capacity of 550 guests, with 445 on the main floor and 105 on the mezzanine. But what makes The Evergreen PDX one of the coolest Portland Oregon wedding venues, is the Loyal Legion. This is one of Oregon’s premier beer halls, with 100s of the best Oregon beers on tap – the largest selection in the country! If you utilize Loyal Legion on your wedding day, you can have an additional 220 guests. There’s also an onsite wedding suite so that you don’t have to worry about booking another getting-ready space!

Union/Pine

Union/Pine was originally built in 1960 by the first female architect in the State of Oregon, Margaret Fritsch. It actually has two completely separate spaces: Main Venues and The Loft. The Main Venue has a sunken living room, bar area, and an open back room. So you can have an intimate wedding here that doesn’t feel too big. Or you can have a large wedding with up to 300 guests and you’ll have plenty of space! The Loft is located on the second floor and is 3500sqft, perfect for very intimate weddings with up to 40 guests. You can really make your wedding day your own here, with the several custom layout options to choose from.

Victorian Belle Mansion

This historic, Victorian-style mansion was built in 1885 as a wedding present from David Cole to his bride. Then, it was converted into an event venue in the 1990s. Located just 10 minutes from Downtown Portland, Victorian Belle Mansion is a beautiful modern romance private estate venue with a little more of a timeless vibe. They have in-house catering that they take much pride in and believe that the cuisine their guests experience must be as exceptional as every other aspect of the wedding day!

Outdoor Portland Wedding Venues

Lakeside Gardens

Located between Gresham and Happy Valley, Lakeside Gardens sits on 7 acres of beautiful green land. It features tall cedars, weeping willows, and scenic lakes surrounded by a garden paradise. Not only does this venue look beautiful in the daytime, but it also looks gorgeous at night. When the sun sets, the venue is covered in romantic string lights lining the bridges and roof, along with white landscape lights around the lakes. Most ceremonies are held outside at the Upper Gazebo, surrounded by handing baskets and beds of flowers! Lakeside Gardens also includes a Honeymoon Suite on the property that you and your love can stay in. Or if you want to have a few family and friends stay there at your convenience, you have that choice too! They also offer in-house catering as well as bar facilities to take advantage of!

If this venue is for you, they highly recommend reserving the space anywhere from 6 months to a year before your wedding date. If you’re having a summer wedding, then the sooner you book, the better! Summer dates fill up very quickly!
