El Gaucho Portland is a steakhouse, bar, and cigar lounge on SW Broadway in downtown Portland, part of a Pacific Northwest restaurant group that traces back to the original El Gaucho, which operated in downtown Seattle from 1953 to 1985 before Paul Mackay revived the concept in 1996. The kitchen dry-ages Niman Ranch Prime Certified Angus Beef for 28 days and prepares steaks and chops on a charcoal grill in an open exhibition-style kitchen, alongside a selection of fresh seafood, with tableside preparations such as filet mignon tartare among the dining rituals the restaurant is known for. Beyond the main dining room, the restaurant includes a cigar lounge with flat-screen TVs and a full menu, plus a bar available for seated dinners or cocktail receptions, and live music nightly. Several private rooms can be reserved for business meetings, celebrations, and other gatherings, including a room overlooking the working wine cellar.

Council Crest Park sits atop the highest point in Portland, rising 1,073 feet above sea level in the city's southwest hills. On a clear day, the summit offers sweeping views that take in Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson, and Mount Rainier alongside the Portland skyline below. The park's summit is a popular reservable site for wedding ceremonies, centered on a large stonewalled structure built to take in the panoramic scenery. The site is ADA accessible and available for two-hour ceremony reservations arranged through Portland Parks & Recreation. Once home to the Council Crest Amusement Park, which operated on the site from 1907 to 1929, the park today is a 43-acre green space with paved and unpaved paths, a grassy summit plaza, and a bronze mother-and-child statue near the entrance. Its elevated, open-air setting makes it a natural choice for couples drawn to mountain and city views for their ceremony.

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.

The 17-acre park surrounding the garden also includes open lawns, picnic sites, playgrounds, and a splash pad.
