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.
