We had to wait out in the hall for a bit while they finished setting up. I wandered around checking things out, which was fun. The craft experience was crafting glass ornaments using materials with intention, which was fun. I really appreciated that the brunch items had many vegan items. Even the coffee station had the small individual cream from Silk. Bagels with Kite Hill cream cheese, hummus, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and other veggies. Vegan croissants. There was a bar where they had mimosas and other beverages. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to future events!

The staff was all amazing, very friendly and communicative! Hazel our bartender, was wonderful and made tasty beverages all evening! I selected 4 appetizers, from a list of many, they were all great! (*they even worked with me to offer some Vegan options for my friends who are, so they had tasty apps as well!) I added the Photo Booth which was a great addition, we all had so much fun all night with it! There recommendation on DJ's were wonderful, I worked with Danny & so should you! The vibes were perfect all night! My point of contact was mainly Brittany to help plan my event, who was so wonderful! She was communicative & timely, when responding! They allowed me come in a few times to see the space & visualize which I appreciated so much! I definitely had a vision and the space and their staff helped me bring it to life! I would definitely recommend using this space for a birthday party/holiday celbration!!! I hope to have reasons in the future to be back and work with them all again!

There are buildings you pass... and then there are landmarks that greet you like an old friend…read morerising out of the skyline. The Oregon Convention Center is exactly that a shimmering pair of glass towers that seem to ease their way up, catching light by day and glowing like a beacon by night. When those spires shift colors after sunset, it doesn't just decorate the skyline it defines it. You'll spot it from just about everywhere that matters. Whether you're wandering along Tom McCall Waterfront Park, crossing one of Portland's proud bridges, or looking east from downtown, it calls to you. Nestled beside the Moda Center, it's not just part of the city it's a cornerstone of it. A visual anchor in a town that already knows how to show off. Now, for those of us who like to earn our views, this place hits different. I've got a tradition my own Tour de Bridges. Starting down at the Sellwood Bridge, working my way north, step by step, bridge by bridge, until I reach the Steel Bridge. From there, I swing past the arena, glide toward the Convention Center, loop near the Blumenauer Pedestrian Bridge, then drop back down onto the riverwalk to close out a clean 13.1 miles. Somewhere along that stretch, right as the legs start to feel it and the mind starts bargaining, that's when the Convention Center rises up. And let me tell you... it feels like you've made it. That moment, that's the payoff. The hardest part behind you, the city opening up around you, and those towers standing tall like they've been waiting just for you to arrive. The surrounding square is polished, welcoming, and alive with history anchored along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a place that invites you to slow down, look around, and take it all in. Portland is a city best explored one bridge at a time, one stretch at a time, one story at a time. And if you're mapping out your own adventure, whether it's a casual stroll, a deep historical dive, or a full-on food and foot tour, this right here is one of the pinnacles. One of those places that reminds you why you started walking in the first place. Five stars, without hesitation.

My husband was asked to bring his classic muscle car to be featured in an exhibit at the Oregon…read moreAuto Show this year. He was excited, but a little apprehensive to leave his now fully restored car (he purchased in high school over 30 years ago) overnight. Also the damage waiver paperwork didn't ease his fears. After speaking with the lead guy putting the exhibit together, he felt more comfortable. We've brought his cars to numerous car shows in the area over the years, but never overnight. Driving the car from the loading dock area behind the convention center into the showroom was simple. Everyone helping to set up the show was nice and helpful with any questions we had. They checked the gas tank levels before entering the building to ensure cars had less than a quarter tank, as a safety feature. They do require you give them a spare key, in case of emergencies. Overall everything went smoothly. We can't pick the car up until late Sunday night. Hopefully all goes well. If not, I'll update my review with more details. At this point I would recommend participating in an exhibit at this venue. It seems very organized and well planned out.

My job had an event at Eco Trust recently. From the moment we started discussing renting the space…read morewent smoothly. All of Eco Trusts spaces are clean, especially the bathrooms. The women's bathroom also had hygiene supplies which I thought was cool. We rented the Billy Frank Jr. conference room and another room on the second floor, and we were able to customize the space to fit our needs. The space we rented comfortably fit around 60 people. Eco Trust has everything you could need and more. Po'Sines is near, there is a Hot Lips Pizza downstairs, and I would highly recommend this space for your next event.

One of my favorite secrets about this building is that it has a beautiful outside terrace overlooking the city. The rooftop space is open to the public during business hours, which makes for a fun lunchtime getaway. There are chairs and tables available, so the space can fill up quickly on a sunny day. There is no need to purchase food from one of the purveyors to utilize the rooftop space, so go ahead and brown bag-it and head up the stairs to enjoy the backdrop of our beautiful city.

Loved our experience with Fora, and would not hesitate to have an event there again!…read more From the outset, reached out to their contact person Marie, and her attention from planning the date, to menu, to carrying out the evening, was impeccable. Marie and the staff as a whole were very friendly and attentive and worked well within our guidelines for the evening. Food was delicious! We had ample appetizers that were tasty and innovative and wholesome: pastas were prepared to perfection and the salads were inspiring. Everything is prepared seasonally and clearly fresh and with care. We have some serious foodies in our office and no complaints from the peanut gallery--and this crowd is not afraid to let me know it . Timing from cocktails to apps to salads then pasta, protein and dessert was on point; we opted for the open bar concept with additional wine and champagne and nobody had to hunt anyone down for a refresh or new beverage. When you are ready to have a great gathering, call Fora!

The bartender was great and…read morevery helpful plus a healthy pour is welcome though I did long for more than two vodka choices since it was well vodka or Grey Goose and I don't want either - just a middle road is ideal. I was glad a friend later said I am not alone is loathing Grey Goose and a lot of the supposedly higher shelf vodka's - weird after taste for those of us who actually like tasting our alcohol but a nice mid ground too. Also, I hear the upstairs is neat too but alas, that is a long stair way up - like a lot of the older buildings in Portland, those of us who are not able bodied and have yet to master levitation cannot do it. I had a great time at the Meow Mixer last week an look forward to more events in this space though!

This historic church in Southwest Portland is a darling venue for a concert. My dad and I attended…read morea candlelight strings tribute concert and we were impressed, to say the least. We arrived as early as was recommended and found parking to be easy and affordable in the adjacent lot. There is also street parking. There are restaurants in the vicinity too, so make a night of it! We were in attendance on a fairly warm evening but the AC in the building kept up and kept temperatures comfortable. The bathrooms are downstairs, but the building has ramps and an elevator to accommodate wheelchair and mobility needs. When choosing a seat section online, I wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The seats to the side are only a bit to the side. There are maybe 12 rows in the whole place, so even in the back, you can see and hear well. There were snacks and drinks available for purchase, and also a place to fill water bottles if you brought your own. The church pews aren't the most comfortable to sit on, but they are cushioned and manageable. We really enjoyed the experience at the Old Church and would not hesitate to go back or recommend it to anyone.

I love the local options for both drinks and chocolate and everyone was offered such friendly service from check in, ushers, to concessions.

It was also so fun to see people dressing up in their Victorian best for the theme. I absolutely recommend!
