To help with that, I’ve compiled a list of the top indoor wedding venues in Portland, Oregon just for you.
Let’s get started.
Best Indoor Wedding Venues in Portland, Oregon
We all know Portland’s stereotypes. Our city takes pride in doing things a little different and keeping things weird. We have some of the best food the country has to offer. We prefer spending our time covered by a canopy of trees.
And it rains. Like, a lot.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Portland has the third most rainy or snowy days on average at 163 per year. When you’re planning your wedding in Portland, Oregon, just remember that it’s lucky if it rains on your wedding day.
Should you want to prepare for the inevitable, research and explore these indoor venues.
