“Thank you for making the process so easy and straightforward. Your staff at the event itself were so lovely and helpful. The location is beautiful, peaceful and so convenient with all of the parking, easy access and great views.”

“We went here for our 31st wedding anniversary and had a fantastic dinner. Ambience was cozy and not rushed. Food was delicious. Service was a tad off, had to remind server of multiple items - more water, more wine, to go box...seemed like at least 2 times to get each. Overall we'll definitely be back. Nice Anniversary placard and treat at the end.”

“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 participated in a wedding recently. This venue is great. You feel like you’re in the country and not minutes from the freeway. (which is also convenient) The grounds and buildings are well maintained. They take pride and it shows. The event planner, Elizabeth has a tough job making sure everything goes smoothly. She does it well and really cares about the wedding turning out as planned. The staff behind the scene are also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this venue.”

“Fantastic experience. Learned how to make DF chicken tika masala with my son. Was a fun and educational experience with a pro chef that taught me and my son cooking tips and tricks that I didn't know after 30 years of being an at home cook. This bonding time making with and enjoying what we made together with my son was priceless. We brought some home for my wife. The food was as good as or better than any of the 15ish restaurants and food cars I've ever been to. Plus you keep the recipes so you can recreate the dish or experience at home! Just tell them your allergen needs and they will make the recipe personalized for you. Let them know what dish you want 30 days in advance if you dont see it on the schedule and they will put it on the schedule of classes for you, they can do any dish from anywhere!”

“I held my 'Women Over 40' portrait & story event at Tendue this spring. An incredible space for an elegant celebration. Tristan, who manages the space was professional, attentive and available for any questions I had. Highly recommend this event space!”

“BEAUTIFUL magical venue, if you're looking for places to get married in or around Portland definitely check out Blockhouse. We got endless compliments on our reception here. I'll be coming back to Pomarius Nursery to buy plants just to sneak more looks at this beautiful venue! They were very communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process. We wanted a venue IN Portland (not in the gorge or wine country) since a lot of our friends and family live in town and its close to the airport with a lot of hotels nearby and options for afterparty. We also appreciated their later (11pm) cut off which allowed us to have a later reception with our friends and family. We barely had to add decorations because the space was naturally so beautiful. We did add a plant wall backdrop through the nursery and it turned out perfect. I can't say enough great things about it!”

“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.”

“We rented this space for a headshot session and it was such an amazing space. Our clients loved the waiting area in the studio and that there was tea. It really made us look good! Thank you!”

“What an excellent venue. I have had the opportunity to be the lead photographer for several weddings and events hosted at Gray Gables Estate and my experience has been wonderful. Professional, helpful and kind staff, the estate is lovely for photography and I would love to provide my photography services at this venue again.”

“What a rockin' venue...literally. First time there and from the outside, you wouldn't expect what's inside. Great big stage! Good sound. Lots of fun!”

“Penny Portland says: Take time for a trip to the land of Nordic culture.
Why? Because it's right here in Portland Oregon. Creative culinary food inspired from you know where, and geeze, while you are waiting to be seated, take in the Art.”

“This Milwaukie theater venue punches way above its weight with professional shows and classes. But it still has that intimate touch. A treasured part of the community! Get yourself a ticket for the next production, you won't be disappointed.”

“Hands down one of the best spots around! The Wine Cellar has such a killer vibe—warm, inviting, and just the right mix of classy and chill. The wine selection is super impressive, and the event space? Total game-changer. Mandy, Kendra, and the whole crew are absolute gems. They’ve created something really special here. From the moment you walk in, you feel taken care of. Can’t recommend it enough!”

“I recently stayed at this hotel, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience in every way.

Rooms:
The room was incredibly spacious, modern, and spotless. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I appreciated the attention to detail, from the high-quality toiletries to the plush towels and crisp linens. The room also had a beautiful view, which made relaxing after a long day even more enjoyable. The temperature control was perfect, and the room was always quiet, providing a restful environment for sleep.

Service:
The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable and taken care of. Check-in was quick and easy, and any request I had was promptly attended to. Housekeeping did an excellent job keeping the room neat.

Location:
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore local attractions, restaurants, and shops. We were staying because the hospital was nearby and had an extended stay at this hotel.... Public transportation is conveniently nearby, but I found walking around to be just as pleasant. The hotel offered valet parking or street parking was available as well. It’s a nice, clean area, so despite being centrally located, I enjoyed a peaceful stay.

Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would choose to stay here again!”

“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 recently had our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner at St. Irene's. They did a fabulous job! The event coordinators, Ella and Isabella, were great to work with. They responded promptly to all of my questions, and they accommodated all my requests. The night of the event, the staff did a super job and were very professional. The food was delicious! I would definitely recommend this business.”

“Fun event, alot of beautiful artistic vendors. Great Mexican food and a large variety of locally brewed beer and spirits. Great way to spend a sunny weekend day.”

“I am not much of a painter, I have went with my wife and another couple. They do good a job of explaining as they teach, and it easy to follow. I got much better between the 1st & 2nd times.”

“What a fun experience! I am the Life Enrichment Director for The Arbor and we took our residents on a great adventure thanks to farmer DJ! We got to feed, hold, pet, and learn about the animals they have on the farm. Due to walking restrictions, wheelchairs, and walkers he was nice enough to bring he animals to us! He even let us have some Ostrich jerky. Such a lovely experience!”

“A Perfect Bridal Shower at Louiza Event Space
We recently hosted a bridal shower at Louiza, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the initial booking to the final moments of the event, Shobhna was a dream to work with. The planning process was seamless, and they were incredibly accommodating to all of our requests.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The space was bright and elegant, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our event. We came from out of town and did not have the ability to bring a lot of decorations. This space is decorated, spacious, and accommodates a fun and relaxed event. Our guests were so impressed with the atmosphere and most notably the food!!! The setup was handled flawlessly, and they made sure every detail was perfect.

The catering was outstanding. We chose a bridal shower package, and the food was delicious—our guests raved about the beautiful presentation and how yummy everything tasted. We could tell a lot of effort was put into the preparation and taste. Shobhna made sure we had everything we needed and let us relax and enjoy the space.

Louiza Event Space and Shobhna made the bridal shower a truly special and memorable event. We felt completely stress-free knowing we were in such capable hands. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with fantastic food and impeccable service, look no further.”

“Employee: GREG
Task: ANSWERING 100 QUESTIONS

I LOVE IT HERE!!!! This place is seriously awesome. The environment is fun, welcoming, and supportive, and everyone who works here seems genuinely happy to be there. It makes a huge difference when a gym has that kind of positive energy.

Greg, the GM, was incredibly helpful. Even though he wasn’t the first person I interacted with, he stepped in and was able to guide me in the right direction when I had questions. I asked quite a few things, and he was patient the entire time. He never seemed annoyed or rushed — just genuinely helpful and willing to make sure I understood everything. That kind of customer service really stands out.

What I also really appreciate is how willing they are to work with you to meet your needs. It doesn’t feel like a rigid, corporate environment where everything is one-size-fits-all. Because it’s not corporate, the whole place has more of a family vibe. The staff actually talk to you, help you figure things out, and make you feel comfortable trying new things.

I’ve actually been bummed for a while that there aren’t any ADULT-GYMNASTICS-STYLE classes around, because that kind of movement is so fun. Finding this place scratched that same itch. It honestly makes you feel like a kid again — climbing, jumping, swinging, and even falling (with huge padded mats under everything so you can try things without worrying about getting hurt). It’s challenging, but in a really fun way.

If you’re nervous about trying obstacles or stepping outside your comfort zone, the team here is incredibly encouraging and supportive. The courses are awesome, the facility is great, and the staff really makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you want a fun, welcoming environment to challenge yourself and feel like a kid again. Five stars all the way.”

“Taborspace was really nice. There are several rooms to choose from and the reservation process was easy. Staff was super helpful and would respond promptly. Also, can't complain about the rental prices. Taborspace offers affordable prices that made my friend's bridal shower possible.”

“As a wedding officiant, I have had the pleasure of working at The Laurelhurst Club, and it is a truly wonderful wedding venue.

One of the things I appreciated most is how the space manages to feel both elegant and welcoming at the same time. The historic character of the building gives weddings a sense of warmth and personality, while still providing a beautiful backdrop for a wide range of styles and celebrations.

From a professional standpoint, the venue is also exceptionally well run. The staff was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping the couple have a meaningful and seamless experience. As someone whose role depends on coordination and timing, I always notice when a venue helps create a calm, supportive atmosphere, and The Laurelhurst Club does exactly that.

Most importantly, it is a space that allows the focus to remain where it belongs: on the couple, their families, and the significance of the day itself.

I would gladly recommend The Laurelhurst Club to couples looking for a venue with character, professionalism, and a welcoming spirit.”

“I have had the pleasure of coordinating weddings at The Oregon Golf Club as a wedding planner, and it is a breeze and a delight! Their sales staff is beyond helpful with coordinating their inhouse catering and bar. Their day of staff was 10/10 in making sure everything was on time and ready to go for the couple. Their ceremony and reception spaces are beautiful and always picture ready! Can't wait to be back!”

“If you want to have fun in a cool, well-placed space, the Baker Building is for you. They don't yet have their speakeasy open downstairs, but I can't wait to see it when the final product is ready to go.

This historic building is situated right above a flower shop that also provided florals for my bride and groom and did a fantastic job. The owners, Jen and Mark, are fantastic partners throughout the entire planning process. They provided everything we needed to have a fantastic party and were incredibly helpful as the night waned on and new things popped up.

As with any historic building in Portland, there will be its quirks. For example, the Baker Building is upstairs and there's no elevator. But if you're with a group for whom that's not an issue—or you have very adaptable friends—this is a great place to host an intimate wedding where you can party all night long and then slip out to the great bars right nearby.”

“Many different meeting spaces in a fascinating old church building, which at one time was one of the largest congregations in the city. Beautiful basalt walls. But unreinforced, so run at the first tremmer of the big one.”

“We hosted a Womens History Month brunch here and the site staff was very helpful and accomodating. The space is beautiful and I like that they have a list of small business caterers we could use to provide food. I would highly recommend if your looking for space to host your next event.”

“We went to the Celebration of Life service for Lloyd Farthing Jr. who passed away in November 2025. The Elks Lodge was nice and the service was very good the pictures showed gave good narrative of his very active life. Karen his current wife and April did a great job putting his Celebration together. I was married to Lloyd for 10 years and we have a beautiful daughter April Kai married to Cody and her 2 daughters. Everyone that talked about Lloyd had sincere love for him. He will be missed by all who knew him in Portland and the surrounding areas, all the way to Texas where most of his family lives. Good bye Lloyd until we meet again on the other side. Debra Farthing”

“Hosting our large corporate group event at CH Northeast was wonderful! The planning process was so smooth, they were very accommodating with dietary restrictions, and we had wonderful feedback. The space is stunning!! Can't wait to host here again.”
