The wedding team quotes up to 200 guests. The hotel stands at 422 S.W. Broadway in downtown Portland, Oregon, in a historic building with a wine theme throughout.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has about 8,000 square feet of event space spread over eight rooms. Rooms can be hired by the hour, and the team handles audiovisual support, Wi-Fi and a 24-hour business center. Event planners on staff help shape the program, from a working day in a meeting room to an evening in the game lounge with pool, shuffleboard and video games. The lobby doubles as a wine tasting room, which gives groups an easy place to gather before or after sessions.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies are often held in the Wine Cellar, a brick room lined with wine racks, and dinners in the Pinot Blanc room. The hotel offers all-inclusive wedding packages and discounted room blocks for guests, and Il Solito caters rehearsal dinners and the brunch the next morning.
