The SMILE Station is a community rental venue in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, housed in a former firehouse built in 1921 as Old Engine 20. The building later served as home to the Sellwood-Moreland Boys and Girls Club before being purchased and renovated by the Sellwood-Moreland Improvement League (SMILE), which now operates it as an event space. The main floor hosts wedding receptions, private parties, memorials, corporate functions, and nonprofit gatherings for up to 90 guests standing or 76 seated at round tables. The space retains historic touches, including an antique baby grand piano and a gas fireplace, alongside a full industrial kitchen, a projector system with a 12-foot viewing screen, and landscaped grounds with a front lawn and side garden available in fair weather. A 2023-24 renovation added the Hainley-Leipzig Room, a smaller meeting and lounge space on the lower level with its own exterior entrance, suited to business meetings and smaller private gatherings. The SMILE Station is handicapped accessible and available to renters from any neighborhood, not only the surrounding Sellwood-Moreland community.

ENSO Urban Winery + Tasting Lounge is an independent urban winery in Portland's Buckman neighborhood, hand-crafting small-batch, old-world-style wines on site since it opened over Memorial Day weekend in 2011. Winemaker Ryan Sharp sources grapes from Alder Ridge in Washington's Horse Heaven Hills and Wheatland in Oregon's Willamette Valley, and every bottle is hand-made, hand-bottled, and poured only at the winery itself. Private events take place in the Barrel Room, a roughly 1,300-square-foot space lined with French oak barrels and reached through a garage door that opens to the street, or across the whole property when the Tasting Lounge and Barrel Room are booked together. Both configurations include tables, chairs, glassware, a staffed wine bar, a sound system with microphone, and a projector with screen, making the space suited to receptions, rehearsal dinners, and milestone celebrations with music and dancing until 11 pm. The Tasting Lounge itself is a relaxed, candlelit gathering spot with leather sofas, charcuallet boards of local meats and cheeses served on hand-cut walnut, and a dog-friendly patio, open to walk-ins seven days a week.

Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden is a 9-acre garden in Portland, Oregon, home to an outstanding collection of rare species and hybrid rhododendrons, azaleas, and other lesser-known shrubs. A spring-fed lake, three waterfalls, picturesque bridges, and shaded walking paths give the grounds a naturalistic, park-like setting for outdoor weddings, with views toward Portland's West Hills even though downtown is only minutes away. The garden has hosted weddings for over 70 years through a long-standing partnership between Portland Parks & Recreation and the Portland Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, operating as Friends of Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. Its lush plantings and water features have made it a favorite backdrop for wedding photography. Weddings run seasonally from mid-May through September across several distinct sites on the property, from the open lawn of the Meadow to the more intimate, tree-shaded corners of the Woodland and Jane Martin sites, giving couples a range of settings within the same garden.

Peninsula Park Community Center is a neighborhood recreation center in Portland's Piedmont area, built in 1913. The building's original floor plan was perfectly symmetrical, laid out with one pool and two locker rooms and two gyms — one for men and one for women — and the center historically served women's organizations and sports groups in the surrounding community. Today the center centers around an indoor gymnasium with a basketball court and a dedicated dance studio, spaces that lend themselves to gatherings alongside the center's ongoing recreation programming. WiFi is available throughout the building. The center also houses a preschool program for ages 3–5 and the SOAR after-school program for grades K–5, reflecting its role as an active neighborhood hub beyond just event use. Space is available for community reservations and partnerships; the center's front desk can be reached directly to discuss availability.

Peninsula Park and Gardens sits in Portland's Piedmont neighborhood at N Rosa Parks Way, anchored by Portland's oldest formal rose garden. Established in 1913 as the site of the city's first rose show, the two-acre garden now displays roughly 8,900 rose plants around a historic ornamental fountain, with brick walkways and period street lamps still in place. The city's official rose, Mme. Caroline Testout, was cultivated here and planted throughout Portland as a result. Just north of the roses stands an octagonal bandstand, designated a Portland Historic Landmark in 1973 and used for wedding ceremonies and summer concerts. The 17-acre park surrounding the garden also includes open lawns, picnic sites, playgrounds, and a splash pad. For events, the Rose Garden and Gazebo are both available for ceremony rental, along with two designated picnic sites elsewhere in the park. The Rose Garden is ADA accessible via ramps at both ends, and the gazebo is accessible up to its stairs.

Curious Comedy is a comedy theater in Portland's King neighborhood, founded in 2008 by Artistic Director Stacey Hallal.

The venue offers two spaces for private rental. The Main Stage is a cabaret-style theater seating up to 170, outfitted with professional lighting, sound, and projection, plus a built-in four-camera TV studio (expandable to eight) for live streaming and recording — well suited to shows, tapings, or events that call for production support. It also includes a full bar serving food and drinks. The Curious Annex is a more intimate white-box space seating 60, styled like an art gallery and typically arranged in a 3/4 thrust configuration, with movable risers that can be reconfigured for an additional fee. Its sprung floor suits movement-based use like dance, clown, or yoga, and the space offers beer, wine, and snacks for concessions.

Built in 1912, The Laurelhurst Club is a historic ballroom venue set in one of Portland's classic residential neighborhoods, just steps from Laurelhurst Park and its century-old trees.
