A lovely location in Portland, Oregon. The producers of the yellow strand rope used in the original Portland Street Car called this 1929 warehouse home. It was situated at the fringe of the Pearl District tucked close to the Willamette River. It was painstakingly restored to its former splendor in 2014, and it now serves as one of Portland's most celebrated event venues. There are roughly 10,000 square feet of open space at Castaway Portland. The yellow strand rope used in the first Portland Street Car was manufactured in the renovated 1929 building, which has 14-foot ceilings with exposed wood beams and original wrap-around steel sash windows. Polished concrete flooring, centralized heating and cooling, an executive office area, a full catering kitchen, and choices for outdoor space were all included during a total renovation from the ground up.

Set on Oregon's northern coast near Seaside, the Gearhart Hotel occupies a site with roots going back to 1890, when the original hotel drew wealthy Portlanders to the coast. After fire destroyed two earlier structures, the third hotel opened in 1923 and operated until 1972; today's property combines rooms in that historic building with a 2018 cedar-shingled annex, its king and queen rooms decorated with McMenamins artwork and Pacific Northwest coastal style. The hotel sits on the historic Gearhart Golf Links, one of the oldest courses west of the Mississippi, and looks out toward the Pacific Ocean. Couples and event hosts can choose a beach ceremony just steps away, or say their vows on a sweeping lawn overlooking the golf course's first hole. Indoors, the Chautauqua Room offers a cozy, classic setting with green coffered ceilings, while the larger Livingstone's Room provides space for dinner and dancing, opening onto a covered patio. Food and drink are handled in-house, with McMenamins' own ales, wines, and spirits alongside full catering that accommodates dietary needs.

Flinn Block Hall occupies the second floor of the Historic Flinn Block, a landmark building in downtown Albany, Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Historic Flinn Block combines two structures — the Flinn Block Building, built in 1887 as the city's premier office space, and the Ames Building, a 1910 hardware store — joined into a single building in the 1970s. The current owners purchased the building in 2005 and began transforming it into an event space in 2006, after a restoration helper asked to hold his wedding in a recently-vacated open area. What began as a one-time favor grew into a full renovation, adding an elevator for guest and equipment access, opening the front of the room to expose brick and large picture windows, building dressing rooms, and adding woodwork and a chandelier to the entryway. The 3,000-square-foot ballroom seats up to 226 guests at 60-inch round and 6-foot rectangular tables, with capacity for up to 400 with chairs alone. Exposed brick walls, antique fir floors, tall ceilings, and strings of white lights give the space its character, while a 17-foot service bar, a separate catering prep area, and two furnished dressing rooms support weddings, receptions, anniversary parties, and other private celebrations. There are no exclusive caterers or vendor requirements — clients may self-cater or bring in vendors of their choosing — and the venue allows alcohol service with an OLCC-licensed server and no corkage fee.

The Troutdale House by the Sandy River occupies a building that began as a vegetable packing house in the early 1900s, when Troutdale, Oregon was known as the celery growing capital of the world. Original wooden beams from that era remain in place today. The building went on to serve as an antique store, an art gallery, and even a brewery before Laura Burlus purchased the property in 2007 and opened it as a wedding venue on May 1, 2008 — with her own vow renewal as the very first event held there. Renovations between 2014 and 2021 added a wine cellar, a Victorian room, a lodge-style ceremony site, and a weatherproof wisteria courtyard, giving couples seven ceremony locations to choose from, three indoors and four outdoors, including two covered, year-round outdoor sites with heaters. The three-story building also holds the Enchanted Ballroom, with high ceilings and chandeliers, and the Rustic Lodge, warmed by a gas fireplace. The venue hosts only one event per day, and rentals include tables, chairs, linens, décor, and lighting with no hidden fees. An open vendor policy lets couples bring in their own caterers and bartenders. The property also includes a private bridal suite with makeup stations, a groom's lounge styled around a vintage 1950s Cadillac, and a game room with pool, air hockey, foosball, and vintage arcade games for guests to enjoy.
