A guide to oregon wedding venues

“The Portland Baker Building is STUNNING. The space is full of warm woods and white walls, with soft window light — it’s a creatives’ dream for urban, minimalism!”

“The building is at the corner of North Albina and Killingsworth Street. It was built by the Baker estate in 1912 and hosted lots of events until it closed in the 80s. It reopened in the last few years and is such a charming and cozy space. The space lent itself well to this fall wedding and the color palette that the couple chose for their big day. They had lots of burgundy, pink and ivory florals, all covered in eucalyptus. The couple wanted a classic look with a touch of vintage.”
THE BEST MICRO WEDDING VENUES IN OREGON

“This historic north Portland venue was built by the Baker estate in 1912, but was closed to the public in the 1980’s. Thirty years later, the venue is once again open, showcasing a cozy industrial chic vibe with exposed rafters and solid oak floors and making it a space perfect for any Oregon micro wedding.”
“Very happy with this venue choice. Couldn’t have picked a more gorgeous place to get married. The vendors were super helpful and quick to respond to my many, many questions throughout the months leading up to the big day. They were also pretty hands off as far as day of, which really allowed us to make the place our own. I would highly recommend the Baker Building!”
“This was the perfect venue for our mid-size wedding. Mark and Jen were responsive and accommodating, and have restored a venue that will complement any style event... For a fall wedding, it’s a prime location to create a warm ambiance.”
