Venues & Event Spaces near Damascus, OR

“Went today to Carver Event Center to tour the venue for our vow renewal in 2027. All I can say is Wow! The venue is gorgeous and Jenn puts alot of love and work into it. Would highly recommend to other couples looking for a wedding or renewal venue close to nature. Prices are reasonable and staff goes above and beyond.”

“aimee, lindsay and seth greeted us and were very welcoming! aimee and lindsay were super helpful in introducing us to the crypt of shadows room. aimee was particularly upbeat and great at setting the vision and using character voices. all of us left with glowing reviews of the rooms themselves. we one hundred percent will return. i recommend them highly. the rooms we learned are created from the owners who used to work in designing haunted houses. they definitely know what they are doing, we had so many clues and puzzles to work out that we solved it with seconds to spare. thank you all for a great time!”

“I set up for an event at Rossi and when I tell you that the customer service was unmatched it was a 10 out of 10 and YES I RECOMMEND!
Gianni and Wayne provided top of the line service. They were very helpful, inviting and made sure we had the support to make our event memorable. This was by far the least stressful set up I’ve done making it comfortable for bringing our vision to life!
I’m looking forward to booking my next few events with them.”

“I got married at The Troutdale House yesterday and I cannot recommend this venue enough. It's beautiful, there's so many beautiful pieces of furniture, the owners are fantastic and the staff are amazing. Gabby and Kaylee (sp?) were so great about making sure everything went the way we wanted it to. All the guests loved the pool table, fooseball table and air hockey table and all yhe slot machines. I definitely recommend this venue!”

“This is a lovely venue surrounded by cool places to eat and drink. The entry foyer is very nice with plenty of room for setting up greeting tables and a coat check..

The main ballroom has wonderful chandeliers, very high ceilings and lots of windows. Dance floor is a little small for the overall space but adequate.

The bathrooms are new and clean.

Set up in kitchen area is barely adequate.

Parking is plentiful.

That’s a great place for any medium size event.”

“We love Hammer & Jacks! We adore Jillian. She has been a huge part of our lives ever since she welcomed us in for a new parent support group back in 2018. Not only was her vision of becoming a community hub and staple something that I could get behind as a FTM but over the years all of her support in helping to get my littles through their developmental milestones with thoughtful toy and activity recommendations have been invaluable!She also was LIFESAVER during the pandemic, doing toy and balloon deliveries and truly bringing love and light into our home. But since the new location opened with all the fun activities (our favorites being Toddler Art and Books & Bubbles) and playscape, our littlest human has grown to wake up Wednesday mornings to ask for "toy store & bagels"-- his idea of the perfect day.If you are looking for a wealth of knowledge on toy recommendations and fun ways to reimagine play... shop local and stop in and visit Hammer & Jacks!”

“I just can't say enough how much fun we had at The Hallowed Halls! Deanna, Justin, and their team really made the experience flow so smoothly and comfortably for us. We had our pre-wedding welcome party here a couple weeks ago and out of the whole process, this was one of the easiest parts of our whole wedding. There was plenty of room for our guests to mingle, dance, eat, drink, and enjoy all the cool nooks and crannies of the space. So many thank yous to the team!”

“This place is nice and convenient in the mall so plenty of parking and also lots of fun for little kids. I will say the place structure is pretty small so it's hard to follow young ones if that's what you're trying to do also, it was very crowded. The one thing that was new to me was parents being charged for entry which I can understand a little bit due to fire code capacity by the same time. No other place place I've ever been to has done that.”

“A great quaint country club that possibly has some of the most challenging greens in all of the Portland Metro area. Yes, I'm a bit bias. It definitely has the best restaurant view in all of Gresham and Troutdale. As a licensed Real-estate Broker in Oregon and a professional to this area, this is one of my secret spots that I'll definitely refer all of my clients to consider joining the community of golfers.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Lakeside Gardens from start to finish. Everything was seamless, and the entire team was quick to respond to any questions we had and made the planning process feel easy and stress-free.

Our day-of coordinator, Noel, was incredible. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could actually relax and enjoy the day. We never felt overwhelmed, which says a lot when planning a wedding!

What really stood out was how simple they made the planning process. We only needed about one 1–1.5 hour consultation to cover the bulk of the details, and after that, everything just fell into place. Their organization and experience really showed.

If you’re looking for a venue that takes the stress out of wedding planning while still delivering a beautiful, well-run event, we couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“Super cute venue and Maria Duong is a fantastic day-of wedding coordinator!

We had our daughter’s wedding here. The surrounding forest is beautiful and the photos look magical (and we don’t even have the professional photos yet)! There is an outdoor bar where we had champagne before the ceremony, and full kitchen and bar inside an air conditioned, rustic lodge covered in little globes of light.

Maria helped us decide how to decorate and let us measure everything two months before the wedding.

We ended up hiring her to be the day of wedding coordinator, and I HIGHLY recommend you do the same! She worked the whole night running around to make everything perfect, so neither the bride nor I had to worry. We had unexpected rain the morning of the event, but she had a back up plan in place. We didn’t need it, and she made sure all chairs were dry before we even got there. She helped decorate, and took things and packed them away for us as things were finished. She walked through the ceremony with us the day before, including teaching the bride and groom how to do an exit dip on their way out. She made sure all the transitions were smooth, that the bride and her dress looked perfect before walking down the aisle. She bustled the dress afterward. Our caterers, bartenders, and photographer already happened to be familiar with her and with the venue, so I didn’t need to direct anyone at all. Super impressed, and I honestly do not know how it would have gone without her! AND, at the end of the night, she texted us photos she had taken herself during the event and they were spectacular! Above and beyond!

The sound system is great, they have cute wine barrels and little wooden tables you can use, there’s ample parking, a dressing room, and an outdoor playground for the kids, etc. Aside from a problem with the arch we had to solve, everything was perfect!”

“This hall is large and well-maintained. I recommend it because I rented it for a party of about 60 people, and they easily have enough chairs and tables for 100 people. They also have two restrooms. The manager is very friendly and expects you to leave the place clean and tidy, just as you found it. You also have to take your trash with you after the party, which I did, and they returned my full deposit. I had the party on a Saturday, and they sent me a check by mail on Monday. The price is very reasonable and depends on the day of the week you want to rent it. My guests were impressed with the price and location, and I will definitely rent it again when I need to.”

“Great guys, I just missed the tire guy as he left for the day but he was nice enough to come back to the shop and mount my tire. Definitely recommend these guys.”

“Great place. Well run and maintained. We went there for a Judo Tournament. There was plenty of room for 2 full mat setups. There was only one set of bleechers, 2 would have been better as they got pretty crowded.”

“An old facility but a goodie. It is well maintained, beautiful inside and out.I attended a small school graduation there and the space was more than adequate.Things I noticed:A lovely stage, never found an A/C control (so verify if you plan a summer event), handicap access is available,&Women’s restroom: I found the restroom stall size inadequate to maneuver comfortably and I am only a size 18 so certainly do not think it would afford room to move for elderly with cane/walker or handicap unless you leave the stall door open. This might be acceptable accommodation for you because there is an outer room that can be used for this (and nursing mothers) and the door between the main hall and that outer room can be closed.”

“Okay honest review I have been going here for years. But I can't give them 5 stars. Because I always hear of one seat not reclining or being stuck in the reclined position( my poor wife on friday). Other than that popcorn is always good and if you ask for extra butter you definitely get it. I know these are in alot of places my I love the coke machines. I mean come on why did it take so long to exist lol. We saw the Mandalorian and Grogu. Screen quality looked good seats were comfy. I didn't stick to the floor everything was nice and clean. We will go back we always do.”

“Super friendly and quick to help. I went to apply for my honored citizens TriMet ID. The staff was very welcoming and got my request processed fast and I was done and out the door before I knew it.”

“What a fantastic experience. I've been bowling many, many times in my life. Since having a kid, not so much, so maybe things have changed, but I've never experienced this before at a bowling alley- full lane-side waiter service with food and drink service, on-site arcade... What a fantastic time.”

“Just got off the phone with Mason, a manager, speaking about a cancelled membership that was still being charged 8 months later. He spoke with the general manager, and after a short wait on hold, they offered to refund all 8 months of undue charges! Many companies would hold the customer accountable, but not Mason. Thank you”

“The courts are decent. I go for the Thursday night disc golf putting league which is awesome.Weather you are a first timer or long timer it's a great time and a great way to keep your putt game sharp through the winter.”

“Hidden Gem.
All rooms look over the river, you can walk right down to high rock park on the river. Staff is fantastic, rooms are updated and extremely practical, Safeway and Starbucks is right next door, great setup, absolutely love it! Breakfast is awesome!”

“The rooms were nice. They were outdated, but very clean. I appreciated that room service came every day. However, there was a terrible smell in the lobby the entire week I was there. It made coming into and leaving the hotel an unpleasant experience.”
