One of the private event spaces for weddings at Amaterra.

In Oregon, wedding venues range from waterfall parks to wineries, scattered from the peaks of the Wallowas to the Oregon Coast. While going for the high drama of a Columbia River Gorge ceremony is appealing to some, others may look for something a little more relaxed: a restaurant buyout, a family meal in a private room. A number of Portland restaurants and bars are very comfortable throwing an intimate wedding ceremony, reception, or rehearsal dinner, whether it involves sushi and Japanese whisky, prime rib and red wine, or causas and pisco sours. Below, take a tour of the city’s venues, ranging from close-in wineries that accommodate hundreds to private rooms for small celebrations. For more ideas, check out our private dining map.

Note: Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Amaterra Winery

This West Haven-Sylvan winery and restaurant, a quick drive from downtown Portland, offers the best of both worlds: The rustic setting, square footage, and vineyards of a winery wedding, with the culinary offerings and convenience of an urban venue. Amaterra offers a number of specific spaces for hosting weddings, which can accommodate up to 300 (200 seated): A 7,000 square-foot terrace lawn with a 30-foot waterfall and southwestern views, a ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor deck, and smaller room rentals for getting ready. Menus include dishes with ingredients grown or raised nearby, including cedar-roasted salmon, Oregon farm produce salads, and house-made breads. Learn more here.

RingSide Steakhouse

Copy Link

For those seeking an intimate, seated dinner for a wedding reception, the Barrel Room at this longstanding West Burnside steakhouse is definitely the move. Accommodating 40 seated and 65 standing, the brick-and-bottle-lined Barrel Room has a feel similar to a restaurant wine cellar, ideal for cozy winter weddings. Plus, with the restaurant’s exceptional wine list and dry-aging program, going for a celebratory, luxe menu should be easy.

Bar West

Copy Link

Events were always a part of the plan at this Northwest Portland restaurant: In a gorgeous private dining room with exposed wooden beams and midcentury modern furnishings, the Bar West team offers in-house catering with dishes like porchetta meatballs and Pacific Northwestern seafood, inventive cocktails from the onsite bar, and in-house rentals for the event. The room seats 40, with an additional room rental ideal for getting ready on the day. Learn more here.

Serratto Restaurant and Bar

Copy Link

Ideal for small weddings, anniversaries, and rehearsal dinners, the private rooms at Serratto are the right balance of upscale and low-key. The bright and high-ceilinged Mediterranean restaurant’s two private rooms each seat 16, but can be combined to seat up to 40. The adjacent mezzanine can also be added on for pre-dinner reception of cocktails and appetizers. Learn more here.

Stalwart Peruvian spot Andina provides an elegant wedding setting right in the Pearl District, where guests can enjoy the spot’s excellent ceviche and empanadas while sipping on pisco sours. The restaurant offers four private dining rooms, the largest of which is the Tupai room; Tupai seats up to 72 and is fitted with a private bar, a sound system, dedicated bathrooms, and colorful Peruvian art. The restaurant rotates through seasonal three-course dinner menus for events, and the beverage team includes a sommelier for wine selections; the restaurant also has a floral partner, to make planning easy.

Departure Restaurant + Lounge

Rooftop bar and restaurant Departure’s exquisite lighting, modern ambiance, stellar rooftop views, and incredible Pan-Asian cuisine make it an ideal spot to get married in the heart of downtown Portland. Visitors can enjoy exceptional sushi, wings, smoked meats, and distinctive seafood dishes as a part of their event menus, which start at $65 per person. Departure offers a couple indoor spaces for intimate gatherings — including the State Room and Sea of Love room — which can accommodate 12 to 30 guests. For summer weddings, couples can rent out the East or West Deck, and take advantage of some iconic city views during an outdoor cocktail reception of up to 85 standing. Alternatively, the hotel underneath the restaurant, The Nines, also offers an array of wedding services, including room blocks, planners, and several larger banquet spaces. Learn more about Departure’s options here, and more about The Nines here.

While the Hoxton hotel offers various rooms in its “apartment,” serving food from its Lovely Rita restaurant, the stunning rooftop views at the hotel’s Tope bar make for a delightfully sunny wedding backdrop, too, and is available for buyouts. The late sunset in the summer months offers more time for golden hour photography while guests get into the cocktail hour and reception. Wedding guests can also enjoy the convenience of onsite hotel accommodations, valet parking, and easy-access to other downtown bars for the after-party.

Produce Row Cafe

Copy Link

If looking for an enchanting, casual wedding setting, buy out the space at Produce Row and take advantage of that expansive patio. A buyout can accommodate up to 75 seated and 100 guests standing. Great in any season, the patio is covered, heated, dog-friendly, and fitted with picnic tables and glass ceilings that let in lots of natural light and year-round sky views. The bar also offers a private event space that can accommodate 105 seated or 262 for a standing reception, with a dedicated bar. Learn more here.

Cafe Olli

Copy Link

In the Ned Ludd days, the Elder Hall space behind the main restaurant was a common favorite for weddings. Now, that Northeast MLK building is Cafe Olli’s domain, with an exceptional house pastry program and restaurant that also offers full-service catering. The event space, which can host up to 32 seated and around 60 standing, shares a team with Cafe Olli — which means meals can include fun wood-fired pizzas, large-format mains like smoked brisket, and custom wedding cakes from the business’s Eater Award-winning bakery. Make an inquiry here.

Coopers Hall

Copy Link

Restaurant group Chefstable’s urban winery is a popular spot for Portland weddings, long tables lined with guests among the barrels, lit by string lights. Couples visit the venue a few weeks before the event for a full tasting, to choose a menu incorporating seasonal Pacific Northwestern produce and Oregon-raised meats. The winery can host up to 180 for a seated reception, and 225 for a standing reception; for full-on ceremonies, the winery can host up to 150.

Firehouse Restaurant

Copy Link

This beautiful Woodlawn restaurant sets a romantic scene indoors, sporting charming brick walls and wood-fired oven that make for an exceedingly cozy urban wedding. Guests can snack on pizzettes, burrata, roasted vegetables, and handcrafted pastas, with desserts like lemon ricotta cake or chocolate tarts for those skipping the tiered wedding cake. The restaurant is home to a second-floor private room that can accommodate 40 seated or 60 standing, but couples can also buy out the full restaurant for larger celebrations up to 125 guests. Those interested can also just rent out the string-light-lit patio, which seats 35 comfortably; for summer weddings, this is the ideal spot for a ceremony.

Han Oak

Copy Link

This tucked-away Kerns Korean restaurant is one of the coolest spots to throw a wedding, for those looking for something casual but still special. The restaurant’s courtyard is a smart spot to stage a ceremony, followed by a reception in the surrounding restaurant. The restaurant’s event menus often involve a ton of Han Oak favorites, including banchan and pork belly bo ssam, as well as sibling restaurant Toki hits like the chicken wings and bao burgers. Weddings, including food and beverage minimums and service, often add up to around $150 per person, and the space can host around 65 people. Make an event inquiry here.
