From the moment we toured this place all the way to our big day, The Melody Event Center was wonderful to work with. The staff was extremely kind, helpful and professional during each planning meeting and always had great ideas to make our vision come to life. Communication with all the staff was excellent. The Classic Restored building made our day feel elegant and timeless. The food was AMAZING and the chef was supper accommodating to our requests. We absolutely loved that they provide everything in house from table and linens all the way to food and decorations. This made planning so much easier since we did not have to source out multiple vendors. Totally recommend this venue for any wedding!

Getting to have our wedding at The Evergreen was a dream. It is updated and chic but maintains its industrial old town vibe and has thoughtful amenities to keep guests comfortable and having a good time. The space is inviting, warm, and easy to tailor to your aesthetic. Shannon and Yvonne are absolutely wonderful to work with and made the (sometimes stressful) decisions easy to make with their expertise. I would get married again and again just to be at The Evergreen, I love it that much. Take this as me shaking your shoulders and asking, "What are you waiting for?!"

This space has room for VIP’s, Kitchen, DJ’s and more. There are elevators to take you to the second floor or a stairway that leads up with no issues. The hosts are just as kind. and professional. Communication is always returned within a reasonable time frame. I have also witnessed the host help setup for an event when the coordinators were late.

Amaterra is an elegant indoor/outdoor venue that beautifully showcases the beauty and bounty of the PNW. When you are onsite you would never know you were a mere 10 minutes from downtown Portland yet you have all the amenities, all the benefits of being super close in. Katie Carver is a whiz when it comes to customer service and Chef Jami and his team create magic every time they step in the kitchen. I also really appreciate the support other members of their team like Jim Klein provide in navigating complex requests. Amaterra is the best of both worlds, the perfect venue and the absolute best catering team. Couples love that they can share such a special space with their favorite people and we love that we have awesome partners in Amaterra as we work to create those special moments for our couples.

The best location ever! Beautiful venue. I think I knew it was the one the first time I visited and we looked at 3 other venues. EVERYTHING went as smooth on the wedding day. The ceremony (which is the most important to me) and everything else went the way I wanted it to so I was very happy about that. I thought it was perfect! THANK YOU especially to our Coordinator, Noel. She was just a delight to work with! Anyone would be so lucky to have you as their coordinator. We just felt at ease with you. I will definitely recommend you guys for anyone planning their weddings or other events. You are just simply the best! Their in-house vendors are fantastic to work with as well. Everyone, from Noel to their vendors all really listened to my vision of the wedding and made it all happen
