Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This eye-catching icon in Portland’s Pearl District is a former armory-turned-world-class professional theater, built in 1891 and transformed in 2006 into the stylish venue it is today. The city’s first space to achieve LEED Platinum rating, and a precious home for the arts, it’s a venue with plenty of heart—and a perfect place to share yours with your loved ones.
- The two-tiered lobby beautifully combines the building’s rugged industrial past with its sleek, contemporary present, with exposed brick walls, an arched ceiling inset with skylights, and a dramatic curved staircase that connects the two levels (and offers a fabulous backdrop for your grand entrance!).
- You’ll truly feel like the star of the show thanks to behind-the-scenes perks that keep the process smooth, simple, and affordable. Your rental includes all-day use of the space, access to the pro-grade lighting and sound systems, in-house furnishings, and green room, as well as dedicated event staff to help you craft the perfect scene.
