First, if you have not stayed at the Allison Inn and Spa, that is a must! Second, if you are engaged you need to have your wedding here! My daughter's wedding was held here in August of 2024. The grounds and layout at the Allison are spectacular and perfect for a wedding. We had the ceremony in the lower Meadow Garden which was perfectly shaded as it was a sunny hot day. Then we had the cocktail hour on the lawn, followed by dinner and dancing in the ballroom. Truly the best venue!!! But most importantly it was the staff at the Allison. EVERYONE was so incredibly nice and kind. From Kameron, manager of wedding and social events, all the valets, chef, bartenders, waitstaff, and so many more that I met over the 4 days were constantly helpful, kind, and professional. The food was delicious and very well presented!! The specialty cocktails were such a hit and made to perfection. The desserts and baked goods were delicious. Kameron was such a delight to work with. She was extremely responsive to all our emails. She had many other events happening before and after our event but she always made us feel like we were so important. Kameron was always cheerful and pleasant to work with. Looking forward to going back to stay as guest again soon. This time, no wedding, just rest and relaxation!

I am so happy we had our wedding at the Evergreen! It was such a wonderful experience and really simplified our planning. Their preferred caterers list has great options. The bar packages are super flexible. The space is beautifully minimalist, so a little decor goes a long way. The team is lovely to work with. The location is awesome. It is so easy to Uber or Lyft there, so you don't have to worry about your guests at the end of the night. And there are lots of bars nearby if you want to keep the party going. Last thing, you don't need weather contingencies. You don't have to plan for rain, heat, sunburns, bugs, wildfire smoke, cold. I'm an outdoorsy gal, but indoor weddings all the way. It was awesome for us and our guests. Can't wait to attend future events/weddings here!

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
