Since 2001, Abernethy Center has grown from the restored historic Oregon City Post Office into a full-service wedding and event venue rooted in historic downtown Oregon City, about 20 minutes from downtown Portland. The venue expanded in stages over two decades, adding the Abernethy Ballroom in 2001, Abigail's Garden in 2004, the Veiled Garden in 2007, and the Abernethy Chapel in 2012. Couples can choose from three connected venue options on the same property: Abigail's Garden, a private willow tree ceremony site paired with an elegant white reception tent; the Chapel & Ballroom, a historic-inspired chapel for ceremonies alongside a chandelier-lit ballroom for receptions; and the Veiled Garden & Ballroom, which pairs evergreen views and a waterfall backdrop with indoor and outdoor ceremony options and a ballroom reception space. Each can host up to 250 guests, and since the ceremony and reception spaces sit on one property, couples and their guests don't need to travel between locations. Abernethy Center operates as an all-inclusive venue, with an in-house catering and bar team, dedicated event specialists and event managers, on-site complimentary parking, getting-ready suites for wedding parties, and ADA-accessible spaces throughout.

Rivershore Bar & Grill sits directly along the river in Oregon City, at the historic endpoint of the Oregon Trail, with water views that draw guests to its outdoor deck during the warmer months.

The Rose Garden Gazebo sits within Bush's Pasture Park, a 90.5-acre historic park near downtown Salem that also holds the Bush House Museum and a conservatory dating to 1882. The gazebo itself is set off Bush Street, between High Street and the museum, a small white structure surrounded by hundreds of rose bushes in the park's rose garden. The site is reserved solely for wedding ceremonies rather than receptions, reflecting its place within the historic grounds. Up to 50 chairs fit directly in front of the gazebo, and chairs must be freestanding and kept on the turf rather than staked into the sod. The gazebo itself may not be decorated, preserving its simple setting among the roses. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset, and the gazebo is available by hourly reservation through the City of Salem, with alcohol, amplified sound, and electricity not permitted at this location.

Legion Park is Woodburn's oldest park, spread across nearly 16 acres at the edge of a densely wooded Douglas Fir grove along Mill Creek. The site is also archaeologically significant, with excavations along the creek's western bank having uncovered Pleistocene-era artifacts.

The picnic shelter includes electricity and can be reserved for parties, receptions, and ceremonies through the City of Woodburn's Recreation and Parks Department. With its mix of open lawns, mature tree cover, and dedicated event infrastructure, Legion Park suits everything from casual picnics and youth sports tournaments to outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions.
