My husband and I found Red Barn online in November/December of 2019. We were aiming for an outdoor…read moreFall wedding, and the property for Red Barn was absolutely beautiful from the accommodations, the scenery of the surrounding forest, to the water, the gardens, and of course, the barn itself. We reached out and scheduled a visit with the coordinator. The day of the visit we arrived, the coordinator had forgotten, but said we could walk around the site. It was no big deal, the day was kind of gray, but we could get a sense of what the property was, so we decided to go forward. We did have another meeting, and signed the contract for September 13th. A couple months later, Covid hit, and we were in limbo about the wedding and evolving government regulations. However, we kept informed of the changes and adapted as needed, they were flexible and we were comfortable moving forward together. So far, pretty good experience, you might be wondering why the low rating, but the turn happened a month leading up to the date. All of our vendors were booked and deposits all made. We had paid Red Barn ~$4500. The first issue was that the in-house catering was no longer available, but we weren't made aware of the fact. We frantically searched for another catering, and were fortunate enough to find Cheryl's on 12th. So, again, no big deal really, just momentary panic. Mon Sept 7th, however, issues started escalating. The huge Riverside fire was choking half the state, and with an outside venue, we were getting extremely concerned that this was becoming an impossibility. Thur Sept 10th, the venue was in level 3 evacuation, our house was in level 2. Family was in the process of arriving from out of state, or traveling from around Oregon. We reach out and they say that maybe we can reschedule, or just see how things turn out. Our vendors started calling. The catering would not travel to Oregon City, nor would the bartender, the florist, the baker, or the DJ. None of the vendors were willing to put their employees' health at risk to fulfill the business, and neither were we. So we changed venues to SE Portland. One indoors with heavy ventilation. We made it work, our vendors could still do business in a nice area, and our guests didn't spend a lot of money and time making it out to our wedding for nothing. We had heard nothing from Red Barn after the text mentioned above. Here's where things soured greatly: My husband reached out to Red Barn a few days after the wedding asking for a refund, and offered to pay ~$540 for their time of the meetings. There was a lot of back and forth. After months of negotiation, they said they would give back 50%, but with small payments over a period of time. That negotiation fell through, and Red Barn said they would only give back the deposit ($500). My husband is a realtor and at the time had a client in Tillamook. He spent over 40 hours working with the client, found them a house, got it under contract, and in the end, the clients backed out. He was entitled to his commission (around $5500), but he didn't want to put his clients in a bad position, understood that it is part of business, and moved on. He relayed this to Red Barn, and they stated they were much like realtors in that they do all this work in preparation for a wedding, so they are entitled to the money. Their communication was often condescending, talking about how lenient they were being with us, how generous they had been with their offers in the negotiation (i.e. "we don't generally offer this, but...") What they were particularly insistent upon, was that the wedding could've been held at their venue. That there was no reason for us to even cancel in the first place (but, as they stated numerous times, "it was your right to make a different decision"), despite the repeated response that literally no vendors were going to be there. We weren't going to put our guests, our vendors, or their employees in that situation. The air quality was at the most hazardous level, and still in evacuation. Over a year later, they responded with, "we even purchased a powerful air filter, the air in the barn was better than our own house." Knowledge we were never offered at any point. However, this is a barn. With wedding traffic, of guests, vendors, employees, no insulation, slim walls, it would be impossible. Our vendors would not be in attendance, and everyone would be subjected to some of the highest levels of air pollutants with its proximity to the fires. In difficult times, we are presented with people's true character. The venue is lovely, the coordinator was nice enough, and we never actually met the owners. The odds of another pandemic and wildfires happening to sabotage your wedding day are indeed nearly zero, but going through it ourselves, we discovered that the owners of Red Barn have one priority above all else, where our vendors' owners did not: Profit over people. And apathy for an incredibly challenging situation.

Beautiful venue! Horribly shady owners. Bit late on my review, but my now wife and I were set to…read moreget married here back in 2020. A few months before the set date came the pandemic and the venue shut down for a while, unfortunately unable to fulfill our scheduled day. Long story short, the owners unnecessarily had a lawyer tell us we would not receive the deposit back for the day (not that we had asked). So just warning anyone considering this place, the owners will turn real shady on you if something doesn't go quite right.

This past Sunday, posting this, Festa Italiana held their annual event that had been halted a few years, but if not mistaken it had been here the year prior? Can't remember. It definitely wasn't anything to be compared to the events that were held at Pioneer Courthouse Square back in the old days before Covid hit... But given that it's been a few years since they've held the event and then a lot of the people who helped out before, catering, musicians, etc. weren't able to help or make it this year we must take that into consideration. It was an experiment so to say being here at the lodge to see how it works and of course after a trial the next year always becomes better and better as it goes on.

With the planning over months, I never felt rushed or pressured. She thought through the way we organized the room so it fit best as to what I was looking for. She had great solutions to how to make the reception flow and to arrange the room. I sent emails with my many questions and she would answer each one. I never felt like I was being annoying emailing her so much or so often and was always available. I was so impressed with how she organized and set up the wedding and catering and it was the most perfect wedding day. It's a beautiful venue - we used the decks and the inside and it was beautiful. It's a great location on the river (Willamette) in Lake Oswego. It was amazing for guests to be inside and outside on all the decks and to be able to utilize them this June. I will always recommend the foundry for any event especially weddings! The food and the service was impeccable. The dance floor was an easy transition in the night and they were so easy to work with. I highly recommended the Foundry for any wedding or special event! I had the most perfect wedding and the best day of my life! Thank you to The Foundry!

The interior has been repainted white, so if you are looking at photos on Yelp, anything maroon is outdated. It actually looks quite simple and charming inside. The lighting through the windows makes for some good photography. The greenery outside will give you a good back drop through the windows. 2. The basement looks newly renovated, and has a full kitchen. They do not have everything in the kitchen you might need, so make notes and take photos to help you plan. 3. If the bride is mean, don't go in the dressing room next to the kitchen. She might be in there. 4. The back entrance is ADA accessible. It has a ramp. You can take some photos here where you lean on the railing, lined up in a row like at a prom. People might not be willing to do that in the rain, but whatever, their loss. 5. There are two bathrooms in the back entrance. One is slightly better than the other; you can guess which one they made nicer. I know because I deserve the best when I am my most vulnerable, even if bridesmaids have to wait. It's not their wedding. Bathrooms are a bit tight, ADA folks may need help. 6. The bell works. You can ring it. I did not. Not my wedding either. It is an euphonious sound. 7. The piano inside works. I am tone death so I don't know if it was well tuned. 8. The place is 100+ years old. It is now well seasoned firewood. I can't tell you what to do, but don't use candles unless you want to make the evening news for the wrong reasons. Which reminds me: 9. I have never seen or felt a ghost anywhere. That includes this place now. It is probably not haunted. Congratulations on your forth coming wedding. May your wedding be joyous and marriage be blessed.

These were huge must-haves for us and were ultimately the reasons why we decided to choose Baker. The space is a blank canvas with character and charm, making it easy to bring our wedding vision to life. One thing to note, the venue is NOT wheelchair accessible. It is on the second floor and is only accessible via a staircase with narrow steps. Jen and Mark (owners) were incredibly kind and accommodating, making the process easy and smooth. We would absolutely recommend Baker Building to anyone in need of a venue space.

There is parking right across the street which makes ingress and egress super easy. Once inside the ballroom it's like a step back in time. That's probably due to my lack of familiarity with venues like this but I can tell you it's beautiful. Seating was arranged on both sides of the room with stairs leading to a balcony. Lighting was soft but bright enough to be able to see without straining. The only deficit worth mentioning was that the room was too warm. For pretty much everyone. I can definitely recommend your serious consideration of Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom for any applicable events you are planning.

For a vintage space I was amazed with the layout as well. Usually you have some awkward transition but the flow in here is impressive so even with the sold out event we were at, you could move around with much ease. I completely understand this as a very popular wedding venue - this would be an incredible space for most events!

After two weeks of no response and no real effort toward a solution, I feel obligated to share my experience. From the start, I was handed off to three different coordinators. I let it go at first, but looking back, it made planning inconsistent and stressful. Two weeks before the wedding, the main planner went on vacation right when deadlines were due, and I had to work with yet another new person. The day of the wedding, my guests were warned about unauthorized alcohol, and I took full responsibility and followed the contract by closing the bar immediately. That issue was handled and moved on from. What wasn't handled professionally was the food. I paid almost $5000 for the catering buyout to bring in my own restaurant and signed a liability waiver. Despite that, staff told guests they couldn't take leftovers before even speaking to me. I had to go back and forth with the day-of manager just to get them to allow it. Even then, they cleared food off tables while some guests were still eating or had just stepped away, and combined multiple tables' entrées onto single platters. I also had a 12-hour rental, yet cleanup started early, and tables were being taken down before our agreed end time. It made us and our guests feel rushed to leave. My event was supposed to go until 11:00pm, but this is what the venue looked like 10:15pm. My 12-hour rental was from 12:00pm-12:00am, I factored in the last hour for vendors to clean up. However the venue obviously started the cleaning up a lot earlier than expected. I tried to resolve this privately, and was told that they would follow up about this, but I haven't heard from them in two weeks. Mind you I've been consistently trying to contact them via email and phone, but they have been again, not really addressing my concerns and taking an upward of 7-14 days to respond. At that point, I felt I had no choice but to leave an honest review so future couples know what to expect.

Kenzie, the event manager, closed the gate on us 2 hours prior to the time that we booked for. She told us the side door was open, but the front gate was locked, and staff had already started forcing us out, saying they needed time to clean. When the groom asked why we were being treated this way, they laughed in his face. We also overheard that security was leaving early, even though the venue had been booked for two extra hours. If those hours were paid for, why were the staff and security packing up? Meanwhile, guests were being charged for drinks that were supposed to be prepaid by the wedding party. We were charged cocktails, beer, and even SODA at 7:05 PM, the bar began charging guests for drinks, despite us being told it would be open until 8:00 PM. To top off the night, we walked past a group of employees and heard one of them say, "Thank God we get to leave early." It was clear that the staff didn't want to be there and had zero interest in supporting the event or treating guests with respect. Absolutely would not recommend booking this venue unless you're okay with getting kicked out early, disrespected, and overcharged -- all without any clear communication.
