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. A recent renovation refreshed the interior while preserving original details like the cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, and a 36-by-62-foot hardwood dance floor warmed by a grand copper-hood fireplace. The Ballroom spans 5,300 square feet and holds up to 150 guests seated or 250 standing, making it suited to weddings, receptions, corporate parties, fundraisers, and milestone celebrations alike. A curtained stage anchors one end of the room, while a mezzanine level overlooks the floor and converts easily into a private dressing space for a wedding party. Beyond the ballroom, a landscaped courtyard and more than a third of an acre of grounds - complete with stone pathways and an ivy-covered wall - offer an outdoor ceremony option for up to 100 guests. The Laurelhurst Club operates as a DIY venue, giving clients the freedom to bring their own caterer, planner, florist, DJ, and photographer, with the sole requirement that alcohol service go through OLCC-permitted staff.

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.

King's Raven Winery is a family-owned vineyard and tasting room in Oregon City, in Oregon's East Willamette Valley, farmed by the same family since 1942 and producing estate-grown wines since 1999. The winemaking follows an old-world, Burgundian terroir style: grapes are hand-harvested and foot-stomped, fermented with indigenous yeast at ambient temperature, and aged two to three years in barrel before bottle aging. The estate grows Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and several less-common varietals including Phoenix, Léon Millot, and Maréchal Foch. Beyond wine tastings, the property hosts a recurring calendar of gatherings, from sunset happy hours with live music and wood-fired pizza to open-air Movie Nights in the Vineyard, where a natural, tiered amphitheater is transformed into an outdoor cinema under string lights. The tasting room offers indoor seating and a covered outdoor patio with heaters and a wood-burning stove, accommodating both small groups and larger parties by reservation.

Rocky Butte Summit sits atop Joseph Wood Hill Park, at the crown of Rocky Butte, an extinct volcanic cinder cone in Northeast Portland. The summit offers 360-degree views that stretch across downtown Portland, up the Columbia River Gorge, and on clear days out to five snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Range.

The summit is available as a ceremony site through Portland Parks & Recreation's wedding permit program, accommodating up to 100 guests for a two-hour ceremony. The site has no chairs, electricity, water, or restrooms, and is not accessible by vehicle or ADA-compliant, making it best suited to couples planning a simple, view-driven outdoor ceremony rather than a full reception.
