  • 1 Outdoor
  • 2 Total Spaces

  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.

  South Waterfront Park

  SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97204, USA

  • Spaces for 150 Guests

  South Waterfront Park sits along the banks of the Willamette River in Portland's South Waterfront neighborhood, running roughly 1,000 feet along the riverbank. The 4.5-acre park was designed by landscape architecture firm Walker Macy on a site once home to a lumber mill and the city's steam plant, and it provides direct public access to the river year-round — a rarity along the downtown riverfront. At its heart are four lily ponds, home to local ducks and surrounded by irises, azaleas, wild geraniums, and rhododendrons, along with meditation benches for guests who want a quiet moment. Paved, accessible pathways connect the RiverPlace Esplanade to the north with the Tilikum Crossing bridge to the south, opening up views of the Marquam and Hawthorne bridges and, on clear days, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. A pair of boulder-lined paths lead down to a natural silty beach exposed at low water, and the sculpture "River Shift" by Mathieu Gregoire anchors the grounds in basalt, concrete, and steel. The park is open from 5am to midnight and includes accessible restrooms, benches, and nearby shops and restaurants, making it a flexible outdoor backdrop for gatherings that want to take advantage of Portland's waterfront setting.
