The West End Ballroom

Our son got married there. Glamorous place enchanted by the newly weds magic. We gathered thanks to their love. First time in Portland. Now we have a bigger map to explore.

My husband and I had a beautiful baby shower thrown at the West End Ballroom. Working with venue manager Natalia Barwegen made everything flawless! She is a true expert in what she does. We couldn't have asked for a better event to share with friends and family. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking to put on an event to have it at West End! Great venue and fantastic staff to work with!!

Once we saw the West End Ballroom, we knew we had found our venue! Our wedding was 10/29/2016 and you never know what the weather may be like at the end of October so we loved that everything was inside as well as that the ceremony and reception space was in the same place. The venue has a very classy elegance by itself so it doesn’t need much decoration but it is also neutral enough that you could do whatever theme/decorations you wanted in the space. Our venue coordinator Lauren was wonderful! She answered all my emails completely and in a very timely manner and always had suggestions if I was a little lost for some of our decisions. Everything turned out perfect the day of the wedding and I can’t say thank you enough!! The only downside to the venue is that it is not ADA accessible. Bonus though – we were able to rent out the parking lot across the street (the parking lot for the Portland Clinic) so that our guests did not have to worry about trying to park downtown Portland on a Saturday night.

It's hard not to rate this 5 stars because we had our wedding here and it was spectacular. My only complaint is actually with Lauren, the manager. At first she was incredibly helpful and helped us coordinate day of stuff, but then, I heard from a few of my family members that she was short and rude to them while they were setting up for the reception. Also, when you book with them, you have to purchase a certain amount of wine through a local vineyard that they are partnered with. We didn't have a problem with this, even though having to order $550 worth of wine seems excessive... my big bugaboo is that Lauren forgot to bring out our wine. We had purchased some cheap back up wine, just in case ours ran out and we found out later that we had served our guests cheap wine all night when we were forced to purchase 27 bottles of wine when we signed up. We could have returned the cheap wine that wasn't opened and saved a lot of money, especially after spending $550 on wine , just to book the venue. My maid of honor tried to get in touch with Lauren to see if we could be refunded for the unopened wine that she forgot to bring out. Lauren never responded to her email. So now, we have 2 cases of wine that we had intended to share with our family and friends to celebrate our wedding. We loved the venue, it's gorgeous. We had an amazing wedding day, we were just incredibly disappointed that a huge thing was missed that ended up costing us money by not being able to return the wine that we purchased as a back up. Also, the lack of response was unprofessional.
