Abernethy Center

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.
