    Voodoo Doughnut Tres is the Eugene, Oregon outpost of the Portland-founded doughnut shop, located on East Broadway in the heart of downtown. Founded in 2003 by Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson and Tres Shannon, Voodoo Doughnut built its reputation on imaginative, unconventional doughnut flavors alongside a bold, do-it-yourself take on hospitality. Beyond doughnuts, the Eugene shop doubles as a wedding venue for couples looking for something far from traditional. Ceremonies here run just 3-5 minutes and include a ceremonial circle of sprinkles, blessings from the shop's Spirit Channeler, and an exchange of rings and vows. Three ceremony packages are available, ranging from an Intimate Ceremony for up to 9 guests to a Sweet Celebration for up to 40, each including custom newlywed dolls, a doughnut heart centerpiece, Voodoo doughnuts, and coffee for guests.

    Castaway Portland

    1900 NW 18th Ave, Portland, OR 97209, USA

    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.

    • 1 space at this venue

    Surfsand Resort sits directly on the sand in Cannon Beach, Oregon, facing Haystack Rock, the 235-foot basalt monolith that defines the Oregon Coast and is home to one of the state's largest breeding colonies of tufted puffins. The property dates to 1967, and its early history is tied to Oregon's public beach access law: an attempt by the original developer to restrict access to the dry sand in front of the resort helped prompt Governor Tom McCall to sign the Beach Bill, which guaranteed public access along the state's entire 363-mile coastline. The Martin family acquired the original motel in 1979, added the on-site Wayfarer Restaurant in 1983, and grew it into the resort it is today. For events, Surfsand Resort offers oceanfront space for everything from barefoot beach ceremonies to receptions with panoramic views of Haystack Rock and the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range. Its newly renovated Tidepool Event Space is one of the largest event venues in Cannon Beach, and the resort's team also arranges beach wedding permits, ceremony officiants, and local vendor connections. The Wayfarer Restaurant's culinary team caters weddings and events on-site with northwest-inspired menus featuring fresh, local seafood. The resort is pet-friendly, welcoming four-legged members of the wedding party as well.

    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.

    Set on the south slope of Mt. Hood at 6,000 feet, Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark built in 1937 during the Works Progress Administration, when more than 500 workers completed the 55,000-square-foot stone-and-timber structure in just 18 months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the lodge in person, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. That alpine setting and handcrafted architecture — local volcanic stone, massive timbers, and hand-forged iron throughout — give the lodge a striking backdrop for weddings, meetings, and group celebrations found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest. The lodge offers several distinct event spaces, from Ullman Hall's wood-paneled reception setting to Raven's Nest, with its large A-frame windows and mountain views, to outdoor ceremony settings on the patios and at the mountain amphitheater. One mile above the main lodge, the timber-and-stone Silcox Hut offers a more intimate, alpine setting with a fireplace for smaller weddings and gatherings. Timberline is home to six restaurants, including the Cascade Dining Room, Ram's Head Bar, and Blue Ox Bar in the historic hotel, plus the Wy'East Cafe and Y'Bar across the parking lot. Its in-house culinary team prepares Northwest Alpine cuisine using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients for weddings, conferences, and private events.

    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 park takes its name from Joseph Wood Hill, who founded a military academy that once stood nearby, and it remains a historical vista point managed by Portland Parks & Recreation. 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. Permits are booked directly through the Portland Parks & Recreation Customer Service Center.

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 Griffin House is a 120-year-old home set on a private cliffside property above the Columbia River Gorge, just five minutes from Hood River, Oregon and about an hour from Portland. Built in 1900, the property has passed through many lives, including a dairy farm, a fox farm, and a Prohibition-era speakeasy with a tunnel through the cliff, before Claire Griffin and her husband discovered it overgrown and largely hidden in the 1980s and restored it. The house has hosted weddings since 2008. The grounds unfold across sweeping lawns and stone terraces along the property's original rock wall, with sweeping views of the Gorge from multiple vantage points. The Welcome Terrace serves as the arrival and cocktail-hour space, the Ceremony Lawn's grassy staircase frames the ceremony itself, and the Eastern Lawn opens onto the property's most panoramic views for portraits. A custom 2,600-square-foot clear tent provides the reception space, seating up to 175 guests.

    Mt. Hood Oregon Resort sits on more than 300 acres of forest along the Salmon River in Welches, Oregon, about an hour east of Portland and 15 minutes from the Mt. Hood ski areas. The property traces its roots to 1882, when Samuel Welch and his son Billy purchased land along the river; in 1928 the site became the first golf resort in Oregon, and it has passed through several names and owners since, including a period as The Resort at The Mountain, before its current identity took hold in 2018. For weddings, the resort draws on its forest and mountain setting across several distinct spaces: the Cascade Ballroom for indoor receptions, the waterfront Lakeside Pavilion for seated dinners, and the manicured lawns of Pine Cone Bluff, framed by Hunchback and Zig Zag Mountains, for ceremonies. Couples can add a sunset cocktail reception, a round on the resort's 27-hole golf course, or an outing like guided hiking, whitewater rafting, or fly fishing. Beyond weddings, the Main Lodge and East Side Complex hold thirteen conference and banquet rooms, many with expansive windows looking out over the surrounding evergreen forest. The resort also offers on-site dining at Altitude Restaurant & Lounge and Mallards Café & Pub, a year-round heated outdoor pool, and team-building activities such as lawn bowling and croquet on its resort-style greens.
